The Bottom Line With its dual cameras, strong processor, and attention to camera detail, the Huawei Mercury tops Cricket's charts for a non-Muve Music smartphone, but insatiable Web surfers may still want to shop around. While the ZTE Engage flaunts a sturdier design and better screen than most ZTE handsets, it's a poor performer where it counts the most. While the Alcatel Authority can serve as a first foray into Android, there are better basic smartphone deals to be found on Cricket. While the ZTE Groove can make calls, pass it over in favor of better Cricket handsets. A few quibbles notwithstanding, the powerhouse HTC One is a beautifully crafted, near-ideal smartphone.
