Galaxy Nexus vs. LG Optimus F3 or L9

[the_animal99]

Have a Nexus 5 on MetroPCS and am happy with the service (after breaking away from Verizon contracts). My wife may join me and we're trying to decide between grabbing a used unlocked Samsung Galaxy Nexus off of Swappa or buying a LG Optimus F3 or L9 in a Metro store. Price would be about the same for all three devices after rebates involved. Any advice on picking between these?

Thanks for any help!

I've browsed the Galaxy Nexus listings on Swappa as well. I'd have to say that as far as internal storage goes, that'd be the better phone. The others will get the 4G speeds.

Nice, what phone is that?

The F3 is a great phone, I've been very happy with mine so far. However, it does have limited internal storage and that may be an issue with some people especially those who play games. There are options to move apps to the external SD but these require rooting the phone so you have to be comfortable with that.
Then there is of course the display size. I'm fine with the 4" display on the F3 but others may want something bigger.
One more thing to consider is wifi calling. Phones purchased directly from Metro will have wifi calling capability built in, but those sourced elsewhere and brought to Metro will not and it can't be added. I have found this to be a very helpful feature and I use it often.

unless it's t-mobile branded, my Sony Xperia Z's wifi-calling worked with no issues
