      @@McPikeVHS Yes you're right. I had a ZTE Axon 7 that I gave up, and now I don't think I gave it enough of a chance to be a good phone.
      The trouble with the phone, imo, was ZTE itself. It always held it's cards close to the vest. Forum moderators and tech-help people were only allowed to say certain things re. their products, especially if there were problems and questions that needed addressing. It's hard when a phone maker from a communist country gets to dictate the conversation.
      It's why I left, but that was no reason to leave the phone. For its time (2016) it had a lot to offer.

    Phones in this video, and carriers:
    0:18 - Pantech Pursuit II (at&t social net, 2011)
    1:32 - ZTE Blade Vantage (verizon, most likely 2017 from earilest unboxings of the phone.)
    1:52 - HUAWEI Honor 5X (UNLOCKED (TravelTab?, international release was most likely 2016, since there are videos of the phone from 2015.)
    2:45 - alcatel Raven LTE (TRACFONE Wireless, inc., 2018) [Finishes boot at 4:34]
    2:54 - LG VX8100 (Verzion Wireless' V CAST, 2005)
    4:27 - Samsung GALAXY GRAND Prime {SM-S820L} (TRACFONE Wireless, inc. variant, 2015) [Also at 6:14]
    6:32 - LG Ally {VS740} (Verizon Wireless, 2010)
    8:22 - LG Phoenix 3 (at&t, 10th March 2017) [Finishes boot at 14:24]

    BONUS - More original slogans and advertisment campaigns for one phone!
    Pantech Pursuit II - Pantech says that it's the last messaging phone you will ever need, even saying that it's the perfect 3G for "NE1" (anyone)
    Samsung GALAXY GRAND Prime - It's the "Premium Device without the Premium Price."
    LG Ally - Allie's friends tell her to use the phone's "with Google" features to go to local shops and use social media features in the middle of an Iron Man 2 war. (I've no idea of who the main villain is in Iron Man 2.) with the tagline "Is it a smartphone? Or something better?"

Being a company out of the PRC, they were terrible at being forthcoming about problems people were having. I was on the USA forum, and the conversation was stifled somehow, because the support people weren't allowed to comment on what was happening with the phones, problems etc.

    2) Stop acting so juvenile and superior about the phones. Always you break out into these little gusts of laughter when there's nothing funny about whatever device you're looking at.
