Will I lose anything by activating Unlocked S3 i-747 from ATT on MetroPCS?

the s3 is really shown its age, it was a decent phone to consider last year still but now where budget devices outperform it, idk if i can really suggest an s3 especially at 200 bucks... swappa has tmo s4's for 260 and up and would be more than double the power and a far better screen.

if you dont mind losing LTE you can snag a sprint s4 off swappa for 170, sim unlock it and enable aws via xda and use it on tmobile/metro with hspa+. the htc one can also be done with this trick and is 195 for cheapest right now.
 
X the moto x due to no memory card slot... Seems like s3 is better than it lol. Looked at the S4 but it's rooted on swappa.com

Looks are deciving I have nothing bad to say about the moto X its great with its 2gbs of ram and adreno 320 gpu all day battery ...dont count her out.. its s4 chip is better than any other i used
 
the x is a very decent device, but with the moto g 2 and x+1 due out soon i wouldnt risk grabbing one now. even if you dont want the newest models, the price will drop on the older ones.

Speaking of moto devices it seems the moto community on xda seems very good upsetting its devs.. any idea if dhacker is still working on the 2013 model and i am sure jcase is done with us

I dunno i think the s3 is still better than any budget device out there. The s3 actually runs pretty smooth with the kit kat update. Its light years better than anything budget lg offers and does have a better screen better camera more ram and more internal memory than the moto g. The s3 really still is a decent device. The s4 pro still can hold its own and is just as powerful as the budget quad core a7 chips. Until they release a budget device with a 4.8 inch hd screen an 8 mp camera 16 gb of internal storage and 2 gigs of ram id say for 200 bucks the s3 is hard to beat.
 
an s3 at 200 bucks vs s4 at 260, you would be hard press to find anyone who couldnt say that the s4 isnt worth the 60 dollar upgrade.

im a bit biased since sprint has awesome coverage in my area so if i had to pick a device LG Volt Android Phone Specs | Boost Mobile would def be it, matches teh specs in every way and improves on a few with the only compromise being 720p vs qhd
 
I got the volt to play around with and honestly thought it was pretty laggy. The only phone ive seen the 400 work amazing in is the moto g all the lg phones that run it seem to lag some. Yea for 60 bucks more the s4 is deff the better device but some people only have 200 and for 200 you still cant get a better phone than the s3.
