right now you're looking at a hundred dollar Android phone with no contracts I'm just a good ball court for cnet this is the huawei premia 4g the pro me is a 4G LTE phone for metropcs it runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich so it isn't the most up-to-date version but it will have pretty much all the basics for a modern Android operating system it's very close to stock Android not entirely there's still a couple touches that are all of Huawei's own but if you're looking for something with a very minimal Android skin then this is a good option there is however quite a bit of bloatware specifically there's an app called my extras and it will ping you relentlessly unless you go ahead and change the settings or disable the app in the app manager there is a 4-inch wvga screen it is bright and colorful not the sharpest I've seen but completely acceptable for this kind of device it's a black phone with a lighter grey backing very finely textured surface so it won't slip out of your hands but it isn't that absolute most comfortable either because it doesn't have that soft touch coating however I have no complaints on the back there's a decent 5 megapixel camera with LED flash nice to see that flash there on the front is a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera the rear facing camera can capture 720p HD video performance is a bit of an issue on this phone I found the 4g LTE network is slower than other LTE networks but it was pretty consistent and didn't hang battery life is really short it's only rated 24 hours of talk time and I noticed that the battery drained really quickly especially if I had the screen timeout on anything longer than about 30 seconds or a minute ninety nine dollars after fifty dollar mail-in rebate is a really phenomenal price for an unlocked phone however I think you can do a little bit better for metropcs and I would recommend taking a look at the LG motion 4G if you're looking for a phone in this price point I'm Jessica doll court for cnet this has been your first look at the huawei premia 4G you
