kalel Wilson my experience with the zte z982 was fine at first then it couldn’t keep up so unfortunately my experience was horrible, it’s in the box in my desk drawer. I was expecting it to much better.
I'm a senior and just use basic functions on a smartphone. I bought this phone unlock new in the box for less than $100 three years ago and it's still going strong and battery lasts all day. For the price its been great! Takes good pictures in daylight. Both your reviews are accurate for the best and worst features!
awesome!! Thanks for leaving a good constructive feedback !!! Also glad to hear this phone is still used after all these time . This was probably my best budget phone that I reviewed at that time
I've had my zte z blade for a year now. No problems what so ever . My battery still holds a charge, it's still fast in performing my tasks. And the sound quality great. Perhaps they sold you a defective phone.
Hey man!! I think it was just my opinion.. I did two videos reflecting the good and the bad.. I know they did some update afterwards that helped resolve some of the glitches. I also got mixed feedback from diff people. Thanks for sharing the info!! 👌
3 years with mine and the battery still lasts for days if I'm not on it constantly. Under constant use it still goes the entire day without needing to be charged.
I love incredibly thorough you are with these reviews and don't just pull this info. out of thin air. You clearly do your research and play with it before you tell anyone the yes and no about a product. Awesome job Mayito!! ❤❤❤
+ram_man rock I don't disagree with you on that, specially on the price. The purpose of the video is to point out specs that not every user my will be satisfied with. I also mentioned that on the Video! Thanks for the feedback! ✌
Best budget phone next to Stylo 3. I agree low light photos are bad. Great outdoors pics. Its big battery is great. I connected to a car charger and it charged up enough to keep on going. Quick charge helps. I use bluetooth speaker to compensate for speaker. Yes it is bulky with a case but i am used to it.
Thanks for the video. Good info! I just bought this phone today. I had to get one in a pinch with out any time to do research. I will post my opinion once I have some time with it.
Hi Dire! This video was just to point out a few things that not everyone may like, I made a similar video covering what I like about it . Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks!
I would give up the speaker quality entirely (I just need it for notifications and ringtone) as long a phone has these 3 things: 3.5mm audio jack, adoptable SD storage and a removable battery.) This one has 2 out of the 3 so for the price, not bad!👍
I watch a lot of tech videos and youre the best man so informative the way you talk and everything so straight out wow amazed thanks man I'm gonna probably go for the LG STYLO 3 Plus
Thanks for the positive feedback! I try to improve on every video and getting that kind of feedback helps a lot! This is not a bad phone at all, I noticed everyone was giving it amazing reviews, but in the comments of many videos I noticed people were mentioning many of this issues that reviewers were not addressing . Is not that is a bad phone, is just not the phone everyone is looking for. I Tested the Stylo 2 and it was nice, pretty sure there was some improvement to the Stylo 3 Plus.. Let me know how you like it if you decide to get it !
Love this phone as far as looks, size, and battery life. And yes you are right about night-time photos. Had some deer in my yard and took photos and and a video. Couldn't even see them....lol. And another thing I'm trying to figure out. This phone won't send or receive photo's on text messaging. Is there a solution to that or does it not have this programmed? Subscribed your channel.
Mayito, so far so good. I have only had it a few weeks. I just might get back with you to let you know how it performs. I am looking forward into purchasing the Samsung S9 or S10 in the near future.
OMG you are not going to believe this. on July 30th my ZTE was stolen from inside Walgreens (Pharmacy). I had LOOKOUT! through Metro PCS. Guess this...that program only gave information as to location two days prior. LOL Needless to say I did not have the time I would of liked to have in purchasing a phone. I needed a cell immediately so I purchased the LG Stylo 4. I was hoping to wait to see what Samsung had to offer after knowing they where coming out with update products. Anyway, I do appreciate you corresponding. I did take your opinions into consideration. Again Thank-You, G.G.
A lot of apps crash on this phone. It's the one I'm using at the moment. Watched this video to find out if there was some way to remove the battery. The camera is nice. The battery lasts a very long time. Keyboard is useful with one hand if using swipe to type & has a big screen for videos, but the glitchy buttons & slow load times for everything is terrible! If you only have 5 minutes to check your email, don't even bother turning this phone on. By the time email loads up, it's time to turn it off again & shut down is slow! I leave my phone turned off a lot while working or doing other things to avoid being distracted, but this is the first phone I've had in several years that I can leave on for more than 3 days at a time without having to charge the battery. Slow & glitchy. Nice screen & battery. Phone calls quality is good if you turn off the wifi.
I have this one for one month already and I have nothing to look at everything you mentioned on this video I don't have no problem with none of it I have not accredited.
I don't have the phone anymore, but I remember they were working on some software optimization right after I released the video. thanks for the feedback!! In the video I really only pointed out one issue which was the performance, the rest were just matter of opinion.
+Eevnos thanks!! This is the one I was telling you that I messed up the camera settings.. tried to do some color correction but didn't come out as good as so would wanted
Speaker on the back is strange... I need to order another battery for my LG V20. Yay for companies who are still using removable batteries! Not many left. Nice work man.
LOL Thanks!!! The S8+ is the first phone that I am using for a long period of time as a mainly driver, so just hopping it will get me through with the built in battery for over a year
It's good to weigh the cons with the pros, to hear the full story. I'm still not fully sure I will get the ZTE Blade Zmax, as I have a LG G Stylo that is adequate, but actually finding many pluses in the ZTE that appeal to me. I like the price point as it is a big draw. Everyone's needs will be unique for the most part, so for my usage it ought to suffice well. Appreciate pointing out some of the drawbacks though.
+Robert Spreitzer hi Robert, I made a separated video. This was just to point out some aspects of the phone that some users may not like. The la for the feedback, I think I should have made it clear at the start of the video. @4:00
Just change your animation scales to .5x and no crashing and snappier than any expensive phone.... Screw the speaker I use Bluetooth headphones........ This phone is a bad ass phone for $100 bucks.......Battery is available on ebay and very easy to replace......
Your presentation was accurate in regards to the ZTE only wish that you would have included the more prominent issues. I'll explain why. I purchased the ZTE ZMAX 982 September 2017 with in the past ten months I have had to exchange it four times going on my fifth. Cost is not economical. This by far has been the 'worst' cell phone I have ever had. And I have had cell phones since cell service cell phones began.
MayitoTek If your able to answer I have questions for you. In your opinion which current Metro PCS cell phone would you recommend? And what's your thought on the Samsung's?
I have some friends that work in Metro , I will get back to you on that one .. as far as Samsung , I have used Samsung phones for a long time.. My first Samsung phone was back in 2010.. I really started liking Samsung after they release the S3 and eventually jumped into the Note 4.. Ever since I have used Samsung as my main phones. Live every other phone, they will have some issues here and there, but I feel they are pretty solid. You do have to be careful with the budget Samsung phones you find around as they may not be worth it . For some reason , I have grown to like the Samsung's user interface as well.. Do you have a Samsung phone in mind, which you want to get ?
MayitoTek The Galaxy S9. Then I heard that Samsung is coming out with a new phone August 4, if that info is correct. I'm with you in that I have always had good luck with Samsung. That being said I'm just not feeling it to spend $700. Think I need a coupon. LoL
You are 100% right.. but.. the average user does not know how to safely remove and install a new battery.. Last time I checked it cost between $50-$80 to replace a battery professionally.. I guess that terminology is used to make it clear to the average consumer that they will not be able to just buy a new battery and slap it in the phone. Also, I had many people tell me that they keep multiple charged batteries to swap on the go.
MayitoTek true but u can just buy a battery charging case and ur phone will only die quickly if u use it for gaming. Not even UA-cam a challenge for this phone big battery. I went about two day on UA-cam with a few other apps
People are expecting too much from phones these days. If you buy a phone certain price point then you know is not going to give that much. Value is the key but also lots of things are omitted do to the low cost.
+Tech4YourNeeds with all the new phones and all the quality features, people are becoming acustome to those standards.. but there are still many people who don't care for all the extra bells and whistles. You always get for what you pay 😊👌.. thanks for stopping by man!!!
2GB is pretty bad even for a budget phone today. The front facing speaker I've had on my past 2 phones now is something you can easily overlook too but I'm sure I'd hate it if I had a rear-facing one now. Great job Mario!
Best phone I have owned. Pros: Large conversation piece, durability from falls, large screen, slimness, vivid color and color customizing, easy organization of notes etc. Cons: This baby is heavy, low volume speaker, speaker on back of phone, cumbersome camera adjustment for quick picture taking. Caution: While laying on bed nude, this vicious a** phone slipped off my hip down behind my butt dialed someone and went into video mode!! I WAS TOLD THIS PHONE IS DISCONTINUED AND BANNED IN U.S.?!
I also made another video where I pointed out the good about this phone. I think they were at some point and never really heard much after that.. they were getting pretty popular in the US for sure
I didn't say it was a bad phone, I pointed out some things not "EVERYONE" may like.. I also made a video pointing out the things I like. But I understand what you are saying and I don't disagree with your point of view👍
I just bought the ZTE blade z max and it froze and reset on its own. I had two apps running at once and what you mentioned about the 2gb ram is spot on. It sucks.
thanks for sharing the info. I am getting mixed feedback from users, good to know I was not alone. Some people mentioned they have not had any issues with performance, which I found very interesting 🤔.. I know is a low price phone, but 2Gbs it is pretty low for now days.
Wow. So far after that issue I haven't had any problems with my phone. I think when my UA-cam music (offline playlist) was updating I had other things updating at once causing the phone to freeze. 2gb of ram will apparently do that so I've been told lol. Thank you for the info
great info! i’ve been experiencing a problem with the back light. even though i’ve chosen 30 minutes before it sleeps it always goes off in about 10 seconds. even while watching videos. so i constantly have to tap the screen to keep it awake! any suggestions?? tia!!
I don't have that issue or heard of anyone with the same phone. My suggestion will be to ensure you have the latest updates on the phone, save all your media/information and do a complete restore to bring the phone back to the original settings. If the issue is still there, you probably have a hardware issue which should be covered by the manufacturer. If the issue goes away, there was probably an app or a bug causing this issue. let me know!
yeah , I think that is the biggest issue out of the five, but seems not everyone is experiencing this issue based on all the comments I am getting .. who knows..
Try a case duh when u have a case ur hand is not right over the speaker cuz it has an indent in the case for the speaker so if you have ur hand over it it still will work great and if u see it down it’s the same so
you mean the phone turns off and you cant get them to come back on even after charging them up? I am not sure, that is a first one for me, I never actually had that issue on mine or any other phone. If is still within warranty you should def get it exchange.
I had this phone and didn't experience any of the issues your talking about! Who are you sponsored by? Most of the phones on the market are throw aways which means they are only designed to be used for a year or two and then the next latest and greatest phone comes along let's face it most of us only want to make phone calls and surf the net! Isn't it funny how no one ever talks about how well any of these cell phones make a call! LMAO how about testing that feature go out in the middle of no where and test if if will pick up a signal! I'd like to see which phone is great at that!
I am just going to say thank you for watching and sharing your experience. You have some valid points, but the way you delivered them just made you look like a fool. Don't be a #keyboardwarrior and start attacking people online just because you feel secure behind a keyboard. I wonder if you would walk-up to a stranger in the street and start talking to that person the same way you do online 🤫
@@MayitoTek it's not a attack at all it's just that I've watched so many of these videos and all they do is talk about the camera 😂 and no one speaks on the phone signal how well does the phone work in the middle of nowhere on a road trip or camping I think phone signal is more important than camera quality but I guess not for everyone! Keyboard warrior not at all typical when people who assume to be the Masters of they universe get questioned! So here is the question presented to you since you seem to be in the know! How well does this phone perform away from the city on a Road trip or camping? Keyboard warrior that's funny don't be so sensitive you are dealing with public opinion you should have a little thicker skin and in NO WAY was this attack on you😉
I can't answer that since I did not take it out of the city. The antennas on the phone are important, but most importantly is the carrier that you have, what coverage they have in the area, and how close is their closest antenna. I can tell you in the city it worked fine, I compared it to some of the other higher-end phones and don't recall having issues with the signal. 👍 I did not made this video to bash on the phone, this is a two part video where I talked about what I like about the phone and some of the features I didn't really like.
@@MayitoTek That's one of my biggest concerns about a flag ship or budget phone what is the signal strength of the phone and I do know that carries do play a roll in that matter I actually use a Huawei Honor 10 cell phone but I use to have a ZTE blade Max 2s and this ZTE blade Max you tested and was extremely satisfied with the performance but I didn't like the sound quality of the speaker..
Too late for me, I just got one yesterday,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, pero no se como usarlo,,,,, me siento perdida en el espacio, como dicen,,,,,,,,,, Tina desde Miami Florida
En realidad no es un teléfono malo, este video solo enseña las cosas que no le pueden pareser a todos. Pienso que todos nos sentimos de esa manera cuando compramos un teléfono nuevo o diferente.. trata de aprender algo nuevo casa día, si hay algo que no entiendes, casi estoy seguro que en youtube encontrarás un video que te lo explica 🙂
I got this phone and I disagree, I can use it with one hand and I play like 5 games and all of them play just fine and there 1.67 GB or over and this phone works just good and the camera is excellent, better than I phone 7 and 8.I got a case to and it don't make it that much bigger.
MY SCREEN BROKE IN HALF. The phone is too big. I bought it 3months ago because I needed an inexpensive phone quickly. I didn't even bother to look in depth at the specs and was surprised when I got it. I thought it was cool at first but after two months the screen broke from being in my pocket. Now 3months in and the phone is totally fucked. Also, You CANNOT use google pay or other wireless pay services with this phone.
Yeah it's laggy it freezes up.ect.but o ported over for 50 bucks so I don't feel bad..it has cool features.but if the phone don't work well them fetures r not a big deal..and and it see a lot of charging time..but 100bucks..
Yep, for me I think it was mainly the slow response on multitasking and issue with the apps crashing. I still have the Max Pro and don't recall it having similar issue
Strange cause this phone has not once lagged on me at all or froze and u say poor specs wtf this phone has a damn octa core 64 bit processor how is that bad ram isn't always everything the phone works excellent for me
+lamont staton I had the issue after I installed multiple apps, some apps would crash often.. when I first got the phone it was working smooth. Some people mentioned the same issue, and saw many comments reported by users in social media reviews. ZTE is also working on some beta testing to increase performance on this phone.. I think the phone is still a great buy for the price, just not for everyone
it's funny how people demand super quality "pictures" from a damn cellphone. If you want great shots buy a good SLR camera. It's a phone and you aren't a photographer and what else do you want for $100! lmfao
Actually the average user uses their phone as a primary camera and most people will never buy a DSLR. All the new phones mainly focus on how good the camera is. I agree with you, it is a $100 phone, but was getting hype as a phone that could compete with some of the higher-end phones. I made this video to give it a difderent perspective, not to batch on the phone itself. 👍
I have to say these three things : 1st you are a HATER 2nd this phone is just awesome for the price I've got it 15 days after it came out and it had worked perfectly, though I would agree on your speaker point, but still is a great phone it holds charge for a long time. 3rd this phone has an Excellent camera and colors. I think that someone who has 130 bucks and want a brand new phone this one would be perfect for them.
Come on brother.. define hater.. because makes no sense to me.. make sure to go to the video and tell me I am a lover where I gave you five reasons to love this phone
I will even make it easy for you.. here is the link ☺👍. Thanks for the feedback, but don't call me hater.. Cause I Ain't Hating!! ua-cam.com/video/A6PwRemdh8I/v-deo.html
MayitoTek I've just gone in and checked out the video. Now we're talking. This phone is just AWESOME. I had a Samsung Galaxy s6 edge plus and you know what?? Won't even last a day and all of sudden stopped working... I was desperate and broke so I bought this one and trust me. I haven't felt the need of switching phones I am just waiting for the ZTE v9. You should take a look and make a 5 reasons why to buy it or not to buy the ZTE v9. Thank you and sorry for calling you a hater.
Is all good man! I don't take anything personal, everyone has the right to express their opinion. I agree with you, S6 was just bad for samsung, specially the s6 edge 👍☺
MayitoTek yeah. Bro take a look at the ZTE v9 i was telling you about. Do you speak Spanish? No offense I could feel a little Spanish accent or maybe listening to my parents got me wrong. If so check out this clip ua-cam.com/video/68jfhYvbyT4/v-deo.html
+Ted Stout hey Ted, any idea when you noticed the phone started slowing down? I am getting mixed feedback .. for me the phone started good ,but started slowing down and apps were crashing after installing all my daily apps
+Ted Stout I haven't tested the stylo 3.. the issue with 2 GBs of RAM is that many apps start eating up what ever memory is free, making the phone slow while multitasking.... I know many people have given the ZTE Blade more love compare to the stylo 3, based on what I have read online
dont get me wrong , it is a very good phone. but is just just not for everyone. I also made a video on why you would want to buy it . Link : ua-cam.com/video/A6PwRemdh8I/v-deo.html
Don't forget to watch the first part of this video. Five things I like about this phone! ✌

Thank you in advance. I appreciate your time in assisting me.
I have been thinking about rooting this phone to get an extra ram hack, maybe it will help some of the impactful problems

Also, I had many people tell me that they keep multiple charged batteries to swap on the go.
MayitoTek true but u can just buy a battery charging case and ur phone will only die quickly if u use it for gaming. Not even UA-cam a challenge for this phone big battery. I went about two day on UA-cam with a few other apps
Ah yes, I used to have a battery charging case back in the day when I used to own the Galaxy s4.. good old days. 👍
People are expecting too much from phones these days. If you buy a phone certain price point then you know is not going to give that much. Value is the key but also lots of things are omitted do to the low cost.
+Tech4YourNeeds with all the new phones and all the quality features, people are becoming acustome to those standards.. but there are still many people who don't care for all the extra bells and whistles. You always get for what you pay 😊👌.. thanks for stopping by man!!!
2GB is pretty bad even for a budget phone today. The front facing speaker I've had on my past 2 phones now is something you can easily overlook too but I'm sure I'd hate it if I had a rear-facing one now. Great job Mario!
Thanks Tim!! yep , I think that 2 GBs of RAM can make a diff it it came with 3GBs
I've used maxpro for a year now and it's fine.
Looks great. Love your channel.
Subbed!
see you in next videos.
+Frode Borge 👍
The only thing I hate is my music plays very low. Everything else is great
ah I see, maybe try to see if you can find a music player in the Play Store and see if there is one that performs better
Best phone I have owned. Pros: Large conversation piece, durability from falls, large screen, slimness, vivid color and color customizing, easy organization of notes etc.
Cons: This baby is heavy, low volume speaker, speaker on back of phone, cumbersome camera adjustment for quick picture taking. Caution: While laying on bed nude, this vicious a** phone slipped off my hip down behind my butt dialed someone and went into video mode!!
I WAS TOLD THIS PHONE IS DISCONTINUED AND BANNED IN U.S.?!
I also made another video where I pointed out the good about this phone. I think they were at some point and never really heard much after that.. they were getting pretty popular in the US for sure
I have several Yahoo accounts I want to put on the ZTE blade zmax. what are the pros/cons to using the internal email program vs the actual yahoo app?
hopefully someone else can answer
This phone is good to have but it's have poor performance base on the 2G that uses. Is there anyway to access the 4G LTE on this phone.
bro it's a budget phone. All the 'reasons' you named is why the price is what it is. it's an awesome phone.
I didn't say it was a bad phone, I pointed out some things not "EVERYONE" may like.. I also made a video pointing out the things I like. But I understand what you are saying and I don't disagree with your point of view👍
MayitoTek you is correct bout using two hands to hold the phone it's is an good phone tho so far I just got the phone Saturday
Nice video man.
Thanks Richard!! I didn't forget about you ! I had you in the back of my mind when I was planning for this video 👍
I just bought the ZTE blade z max and it froze and reset on its own. I had two apps running at once and what you mentioned about the 2gb ram is spot on. It sucks.
thanks for sharing the info. I am getting mixed feedback from users, good to know I was not alone. Some people mentioned they have not had any issues with performance, which I found very interesting 🤔.. I know is a low price phone, but 2Gbs it is pretty low for now days.
Wow. So far after that issue I haven't had any problems with my phone. I think when my UA-cam music (offline playlist) was updating I had other things updating at once causing the phone to freeze. 2gb of ram will apparently do that so I've been told lol. Thank you for the info
cool!! Great to know!!
Nice video mate
Thanks man!
great info! i’ve been experiencing a problem with the back light. even though i’ve chosen 30 minutes before it sleeps it always goes off in about 10 seconds. even while watching videos. so i constantly have to tap the screen to keep it awake! any suggestions?? tia!!
I don't have that issue or heard of anyone with the same phone. My suggestion will be to ensure you have the latest updates on the phone, save all your media/information and do a complete restore to bring the phone back to the original settings. If the issue is still there, you probably have a hardware issue which should be covered by the manufacturer. If the issue goes away, there was probably an app or a bug causing this issue. let me know!
The apps crashing is a big peeve for me.
yeah , I think that is the biggest issue out of the five, but seems not everyone is experiencing this issue based on all the comments I am getting .. who knows..
MayitoTek true. Apparently my brother has the same phone but he says he doesn't experience those issues. *Shrugs*
Thx for the reply.
Battery is removable of you do some research on it. I replaced mine after 2 yrs
How to disable double press power button to open camera
Try a case duh when u have a case ur hand is not right over the speaker cuz it has an indent in the case for the speaker so if you have ur hand over it it still will work great and if u see it down it’s the same so
+Kaitlin Roberts ok, I will make sure to do that. ✔
I'm watching this video with my phone zte z982🤣I use this phone for filming
very nice!!! 😜👍
@@MayitoTek thanks
This phone seems like it performs the same as a IPhone we in performance wise
in a good or bad way ?
It’s pretty good I’ve played PUBG on High graphics Realistic lighting and HD and it has a decent Frame rate and pretty and battery
why they turn off out no where and takes days to star again happens to my daugther mines and my stepmother???
you mean the phone turns off and you cant get them to come back on even after charging them up? I am not sure, that is a first one for me, I never actually had that issue on mine or any other phone. If is still within warranty you should def get it exchange.
I have had the phone two years and I am going to replace the battery the lying salesman said can't be replaced. It costs 6.49 on ebay.
You a hater this phone is great
+Nicholas Tanner hater? Watch the video again from start to finish 😉
I agree. This phone is great
Nicholas Tanner right
It is SLOW.
Ted Stout Nope. Not at all. I'm coming from a Galaxy S6 and I have no complaints at all. This phone is great in every way
Hate the it doesn't support otg. Or does it?
Not sure, I don't recall references for it and I don't own it anymore 🤔
I had this phone and didn't experience any of the issues your talking about! Who are you sponsored by? Most of the phones on the market are throw aways which means they are only designed to be used for a year or two and then the next latest and greatest phone comes along let's face it most of us only want to make phone calls and surf the net! Isn't it funny how no one ever talks about how well any of these cell phones make a call! LMAO how about testing that feature go out in the middle of no where and test if if will pick up a signal! I'd like to see which phone is great at that!
I am just going to say thank you for watching and sharing your experience. You have some valid points, but the way you delivered them just made you look like a fool.
Don't be a #keyboardwarrior and start attacking people online just because you feel secure behind a keyboard. I wonder if you would walk-up to a stranger in the street and start talking to that person the same way you do online 🤫
@@MayitoTek it's not a attack at all it's just that I've watched so many of these videos and all they do is talk about the camera 😂 and no one speaks on the phone signal how well does the phone work in the middle of nowhere on a road trip or camping I think phone signal is more important than camera quality but I guess not for everyone! Keyboard warrior not at all typical when people who assume to be the Masters of they universe get questioned! So here is the question presented to you since you seem to be in the know! How well does this phone perform away from the city on a Road trip or camping? Keyboard warrior that's funny don't be so sensitive you are dealing with public opinion you should have a little thicker skin and in NO WAY was this attack on you😉
I can't answer that since I did not take it out of the city. The antennas on the phone are important, but most importantly is the carrier that you have, what coverage they have in the area, and how close is their closest antenna. I can tell you in the city it worked fine, I compared it to some of the other higher-end phones and don't recall having issues with the signal. 👍
I did not made this video to bash on the phone, this is a two part video where I talked about what I like about the phone and some of the features I didn't really like.
@@MayitoTek That's one of my biggest concerns about a flag ship or budget phone what is the signal strength of the phone and I do know that carries do play a roll in that matter I actually use a Huawei Honor 10 cell phone but I use to have a ZTE blade Max 2s and this ZTE blade Max you tested and was extremely satisfied with the performance but I didn't like the sound quality of the speaker..
Too late for me, I just got one yesterday,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, pero no se como usarlo,,,,, me siento perdida en el espacio, como dicen,,,,,,,,,, Tina desde Miami Florida
En realidad no es un teléfono malo, este video solo enseña las cosas que no le pueden pareser a todos. Pienso que todos nos sentimos de esa manera cuando compramos un teléfono nuevo o diferente.. trata de aprender algo nuevo casa día, si hay algo que no entiendes, casi estoy seguro que en youtube encontrarás un video que te lo explica 🙂
You can speed the phone up if you know how to activate the developer options .
+Ken opalus good to know! Thanks for sharing
Ken opalus explain please I’m considering buying this phone but if it’s slow it’s no way I’m getting this
Somewhat. Even with Developer Options enabled, it's as slow as molasses in February.
I got this phone and I disagree, I can use it with one hand and I play like 5 games and all of them play just fine and there 1.67 GB or over and this phone works just good and the camera is excellent, better than I phone 7 and 8.I got a case to and it don't make it that much bigger.
+Kaylob Hinson thanks for sharing your experience! 👍
MY SCREEN BROKE IN HALF. The phone is too big. I bought it 3months ago because I needed an inexpensive phone quickly. I didn't even bother to look in depth at the specs and was surprised when I got it. I thought it was cool at first but after two months the screen broke from being in my pocket. Now 3months in and the phone is totally fucked. Also, You CANNOT use google pay or other wireless pay services with this phone.
It is super slow. It’s 2017. No wants this.
Valid points.
+Right Brothers it is still usable,but it does start lagging after some time.. thanks!!!
It is i was about to smash this phone but i moved to ios
Please work on its 4G LTE because is shit having it in but not working.
big thumbs up.
+Real Talk Real Conversation 😁👌
It's hella phones with a non removable battery in this day and age. Come on now, that shouldn't even be a reason
Yeah it's laggy it freezes up.ect.but o ported over for 50 bucks so I don't feel bad..it has cool features.but if the phone don't work well them fetures r not a big deal..and and it see a lot of charging time..but 100bucks..
Yep, for me I think it was mainly the slow response on multitasking and issue with the apps crashing. I still have the Max Pro and don't recall it having similar issue
Strange cause this phone has not once lagged on me at all or froze and u say poor specs wtf this phone has a damn octa core 64 bit processor how is that bad ram isn't always everything the phone works excellent for me
+lamont staton I had the issue after I installed multiple apps, some apps would crash often.. when I first got the phone it was working smooth. Some people mentioned the same issue, and saw many comments reported by users in social media reviews. ZTE is also working on some beta testing to increase performance on this phone.. I think the phone is still a great buy for the price, just not for everyone
It also doesn't support OTG
ah good point!! Didn't test that out !
it's funny how people demand super quality "pictures" from a damn cellphone. If you want great shots buy a good SLR camera. It's a phone and you aren't a photographer and what else do you want for $100! lmfao
Actually the average user uses their phone as a primary camera and most people will never buy a DSLR. All the new phones mainly focus on how good the camera is. I agree with you, it is a $100 phone, but was getting hype as a phone that could compete with some of the higher-end phones. I made this video to give it a difderent perspective, not to batch on the phone itself. 👍
I have to say these three things : 1st you are a HATER 2nd this phone is just awesome for the price I've got it 15 days after it came out and it had worked perfectly, though I would agree on your speaker point, but still is a great phone it holds charge for a long time. 3rd this phone has an Excellent camera and colors. I think that someone who has 130 bucks and want a brand new phone this one would be perfect for them.
Come on brother.. define hater.. because makes no sense to me.. make sure to go to the video and tell me I am a lover where I gave you five reasons to love this phone
I will even make it easy for you.. here is the link ☺👍. Thanks for the feedback, but don't call me hater.. Cause I Ain't Hating!!
ua-cam.com/video/A6PwRemdh8I/v-deo.html
MayitoTek I've just gone in and checked out the video. Now we're talking. This phone is just AWESOME. I had a Samsung Galaxy s6 edge plus and you know what?? Won't even last a day and all of sudden stopped working... I was desperate and broke so I bought this one and trust me. I haven't felt the need of switching phones I am just waiting for the ZTE v9. You should take a look and make a 5 reasons why to buy it or not to buy the ZTE v9. Thank you and sorry for calling you a hater.
Is all good man! I don't take anything personal, everyone has the right to express their opinion. I agree with you, S6 was just bad for samsung, specially the s6 edge 👍☺
MayitoTek yeah. Bro take a look at the ZTE v9 i was telling you about. Do you speak Spanish? No offense I could feel a little Spanish accent or maybe listening to my parents got me wrong. If so check out this clip ua-cam.com/video/68jfhYvbyT4/v-deo.html
You are awfully picky about a $100 phone... lol that's all crap to complain about when spending $900 not $100
Double D Don't forget to watch the first part of this video. Five things I like about this phone! ✌
Link: ua-cam.com/video/A6PwRemdh8I/v-deo.html
You son of a bitch I bought this phone now I heard your 5 complaints and now I returned it thanks....
+Gio arteaga what's up with the violence? 😂..Che arteaga
You should go watch my other video on five reasons why this is still a good phone, so you can buy it again!!
Phone is very slow, IMO.
+Ted Stout hey Ted, any idea when you noticed the phone started slowing down? I am getting mixed feedback .. for me the phone started good ,but started slowing down and apps were crashing after installing all my daily apps
MayitoTek Started really soon after purchase.
MayitoTek Is the Stylo 3 Plus as laggy as this phone? They both have the same processor and RAM.
+Ted Stout I haven't tested the stylo 3.. the issue with 2 GBs of RAM is that many apps start eating up what ever memory is free, making the phone slow while multitasking.... I know many people have given the ZTE Blade more love compare to the stylo 3, based on what I have read online
check out this video, there are many things you can do to speed up this phone, just search UA-cam: ua-cam.com/video/cHXkDQ-3L-M/v-deo.html
Something is wrong with this man
Please tell me
MayitoTek that is a great phone I will get it
dont get me wrong , it is a very good phone. but is just just not for everyone.
I also made a video on why you would want to buy it .
