Huawei Activa 4G is a rather modest Android offering that will set you back only $150 after rebate while still hooking you up with some LTE goodness. It sports an 800MHz processor and a 3.5-inch HVGA display. There is a 5-megapixel camera with flash on its back, and a VGA shooter up front for video chats. Not too impressive, we know, but hey, at least you get the Kung Fu Panda 2 movie pre-loaded. Android 2.3 comes out of the box.
