The good: The LG Venice has a svelte design, a 1GHz CPU that runs swiftly and smoothly, and excellent call quality.

The bottom line: Boost's LG Venice has respectable midrange specs including a snappy processor and a vivid screen, but if you want 4G data speeds, look elsewhere.

Summary: Boost Mobile offers six or eight different 3g phones to its customers. NONE of the other Boost phones combine a large 4.3 inch screen, slim body, light weight, and modern Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.
The Venice is a "best buy" on the Boost network...BUT...by November Boost will have a good selection of new 4g LTE phones, which will make the Venice obsolete.
