Hey, I do not understand this. Metro's LG Optimus L70 does not have KitKat, but Cricket Wirless's LG Optimus L70 does have KitKat. What gives? If Crickets L70 has it why does Metro not have it?
 
If you are looking for a decent new lg phone i think the volt is about the best budget device they have, its not on metro though :/
 
I picked up a volt on boost to play around with. Decent phone better than the f6 or the l70 for sure. But honestly even though it has the same chipset as the moto g i still think the g ia the better snappier device. The camera in the volt is ok nothing special but deff an improvment over the l70. Storage on the volt is 3.9 gb outta the box available to user. So another bonus over the l70. All in all though i would still say the best sub 200 dollar phone is the moto g. If you wanna pay 221 you can now get an lte one with sd card storage. But i would even reccomend the older one with hspa and 8gb of storage over the volt ,l70/l90 unless you must have lte.

I love my Moto G. I went with the original 16 gig HSPA+ version. I get nice enough speed, any where from 3 to 8 gig download speeds. I know that LTE would be faster, but I'm content with these speeds. I bought one of the grip shells along with the phone, and had a $40 off discount code, so I only paid around $187 I think, after tax. Deff the way to go, for me. With the new Moto E out, that might also be the way for someone to look into. It's only got 4 gig of storage (a little over 2 usable by the owner) but it has micro sd card support.
 
I love the g. To me if you take everything into account (price,hardware,software,performance) the g is the best phone out there. Yes you can pay more for something like the note 3 s5 or any other flagship and it may do more but when it comes down to the core of the phone like running apps playing games ect ect the g performs right there with them and a third of the cost. Again the volt isnt awful its just lg loaded it with there full optimus ui that they have on the g2 and it does cause it to stutter and lag a lil. Theres some ok features with optimus u.i. but the g2 has 2gb of ram to actually run it. At least on the l70 its a watered down version of the u.i. so you dont get the stutter. On the volt you do get some lag and aome hangups especially when opening multiple apps and multitasking. This is something you dont get on the moto g also. 1gb of ram runs flawlessly on stock kit kat.

I don't think any snapdragon 400 device is as snappy as the moto g. yet don't think any could be, the Google play edition isn't even from what I heard. Moto did some magic
 
The l70 runs pretty smooth with the snapdragon 200. Was actually impressed by that part. I kinda chalked it upto the fact that optimus u.i. isnt as intense on the l70 they left off numerous features and kinda watered it down. Kinda how sammy does for touchwiz on there lower speced devices. But i agree the g runs smooth as can be. Ive used an x and its also buttery smooth. From what ive seen the e is an outstanding device also in terms of performance. Its a shame moto got bought. Hopefully they keep everybody cause they really got a good thing goin.
