The Sprint Force features Android™ 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and a 4-inch WVGA 480×800 touchscreen display and access to the Sprint 4G LTE network, YRB staff spent a week using this phone. it does quite a bit to cost only $49.
The 4G speeds in NYC were great and the easy hotspot function is a ease to setup.
Only snag we noticed: On several wifi networks the phone had trouble staying connected to some of our favorite streaming apps like Songza , Pandora and Stiicher for an extended period of time. While our other Android phone and Iphone connected on the same wifi network with no problems.
In short, this must be the smartest and cheapest handset you can get that supports 4G LTE for $49
