I'm planning on spending about 250 for a new phone. No more. If something is 300, let me know why I should get it
Thank you guys.
Thank you guys.
I'm not okay with 3G.
I want something that will most likely get updates in the future. I got the Marquee when it was released and I saw that there was no support for it later on. It's still a Gingerbread phone.

There is honestly no way of knowing which Boost mobile phones will or will not get upgrades.
The Moto G is getting kitkat in the spring but you said you want 4g so it is out.
My wife is very happy with the F7. No lockups, reboots, or any weird problems at all so far.
BestBuy.com has the F7 on sale right now for 199.99...
BOOST MAX is the best!
Nothing good about that phone other than its screen, and the resolution on that isn't even impressive Lol. The fact that its made by zte should be an automatic red flag, give it a few weeks you'll start experiencing random reboots weird lags etc.
Warp 4G right now is on sale, there are some issues with it though. The camera seems to bug out when using applications that use the camera such as Twitter, Instagram, etc. Has random reboots from time to time that can only be fixed with a factory reset.
I know you mentioned that you're not okay with the Moto G because it's 3G, but that's really your best option for performance in a phone without going over $300 or so.
Your next option is the Optimus F7 which lacks a good CPU and doesn't have support for anything above 4.1.
Why would you say it lacks CPU? It has the same processor as the GS3 a Snapdragon S4, only clocked at 1.5GHz when the GS3 is clocked at 1.7GHZ. So what you're basically saying is that the GS3 lacks CPU.... Compared to the Moto G yeah sure its quad core lol. The F7 current version is android 4.1.2 and is rumored to be updated to KitKat based on a Phone Arena source that they have inside LG. I for one think that it will be updated to KitKat. It just makes sense if you look at the facts.
I have the S3, it's CPU is 1.5ghz not 1.7ghz. It's the exact same CPU that comes in the F7. I notice no difference in speed while using my wife's F7 vs. My S3.
Yes, I've stated it in previous posts that the GS3 lacks a decent CPU. It's a downgraded version of the flagship launch. Specifically downgraded from a nice sharp quad core to a high end dual core. However for a phone that isn't upgradeable to 4.4 (which is designed to use less resources to run efficiently) that makes it a "lacking CPU". Since the F7 has a very similar CPU with some clock changes, it isn't much better or worse.
Comparing the performance of the GS3 and F7 to other phones from other prepaid companies in the same price range (or even Boost itself) the price doesn't justify itself...unless you REALLY want LTE.
True it was downgraded from a quad core to dual core and Are you saying the GS3 won't get KitKat?
