Huawei Mercury review: Cricket’s most advanced Android phone yet

Score one for Cricket, whose Huawei Mercury is arguably the most feature-rich phone in its lineup.

I say “arguably” because the Android 2.3 Gingerbread smartphone lacks Muve Music, the all-you-can-download music portion of the unlimited voice and data plan for select Cricket handsets, such as the Samsung Vitality.

Muve would be the icing on the cake, but if you’re no audiophile, the Mercury is absolutely a phone that Cricket fans should eye. It’s got a 4-inch screen, a 1.4GHz processor, and a pair of cameras, one of them 8-megapixels. The camera isn’t as good as other 8-megapixel shooters, but it performs nicely outside. Indoor shots were still problematic.
