About to buy an LG Optimus F3 coming from the Motion 4G, should I wait for a new phone?

[unnamedny]

I thought the motion has a 1.2ghz msm8960 lite CPU? At least that's what I'm finding online.

FYI, the F3 has a snapdragon 400 CPU.

it supposed to have 1.2ghz but it has 1.5.

Use Coverage Maps | Sensorly

You can set the map to show any signal your looking for. Keep in mind it is user based. It helps show if lte is launched in your area for multiple carriers.

As for hspa vs lte. Hspa coverage is more expansive. And speeds are area dependent, I get about 10mbps down 2mbps up with a 50ms ping (hspa+). Which is about the same as some lte in my area. But lte will max out higher in most areas.

And, I just found out that the L9 only gets 21mbps hspa+ and is not capable with 42mbps hspa+, which is a let down a bit. Even LTE data speeds aren't what they are suppose to be most of the time. Imagine a phone that only does 21mbps, it would get much lower speeds most of the time.
