Never waste your money on any ZTE product. The only thing they have going for the newer models is great camera mp for front and rear thats all! These devices are the slowest, most useless waste of time labor parts and money you can come across. I wouldn't purchase a zte for a 3 year old in Sierra as a charity gift thats how horrible these devices run. I mean they give them out as government assistance phones free to the public for a reason. Because they are very cheaply made and are only good for calls or text though it may take 9 hours to get it to accomplish that.

I love the ZTE Blade Spark and feel like it's one of the best phones in this price range. You're getting a large 5.5 inch screen, 2GB ram, and a decent CPU (snapdragon 425) which is a lot of phone for what you pay for. This phone is definitely capable of being your primary phone not just a spare. I previously had a Huawei Ascend XT2 which had almost the same specs as the ZTE Blade Spark and was about the same price, but the ZTE Blade Spark is much better in many key areas. The first thing I like is that you can add an SD card and format it as internal storage. It's very important you can format it as internal storage, because it means your phone can use the SD card as an extension of its regular internal storage and therefore can utilize much more of the SD card for apps and data. In contrast, some phones only let you add an SD card and use it as portable storage, which greatly limits it's usefulness except for storing things like pictures and video. Secondly, I love the fingerprint reader which many phones in this price range do not have. Once you get used to a phone with a fingerprint reader, you can never go back. You can unlock your phone instantly and also the fingerprint reader doubles as another button which you can use for other things such as another camera button. Both the front and rear cameras take great pictures, which has been validated through many reviews comparing this phone's camera to others. Another nice thing is this phone comes with Android 7.1.1 out of the box, while many phones are stuck with Android 7.0 or even Android 6.0 and cannot be upgraded. The screen is very nice to look at and so far battery life appears to be good. The phone feels much better in my hand than my previous Huawei phone, because I like the textured back,which helps the phone not slip out of my hands which is what happened with my previous phone which had a very smooth and slippery back. The speed of this phone is okay, although I feel like my previous Huawei phone was a bit snappier doing a few things, but in day to day use this phone is fine for most apps. Just don't try to run too many apps at one time on any of these budget phones. Overall I am very impressed with this phone!

First of all It’s a prepaid phone

Ok so first thing you have to know that this is a prepaid phone and most prepaid phone won’t be high end unless you drop above $200+. In my case I got it for 59 since it was on sale. It has a 13MP camera it might not have all the bells and whistles of a Samsung Galaxy s7 camera but for the price I feel it’s great. It has a fingerprint scanner, and I’ve never seen a prepaid phone at a similar price that would have this feature so that’s a plus. Type C charging. This type of charging is what will replace micro USB charging in the future so this phone pretty Is giving you an advantage over the other phones. There is not much to say about the processor and RAM is just typical speed for prepaid phones. Overall this phone is great and people that give bad reviews for the little things, well they don’t know as much. Bloatware can be removed through other ways, you could either pay someone to do it or you can teach yourself how to :).

I dropped my phone during a work trip to a different state and needed a quick replacement. This phone did the trick, and is extremely affordable for what you get in return. I'm still using it a few weeks later, and plan to continue for a while at least until I decide I'm ready to hop on a flagship. With a 5.5 inch screen, USB C, 16 GB of space, a 13 MP camera, and finger print sensor, you can't beat the price for what you get.

Phone works very well. Battery on heavy to moderate use you can get a full day. Camera is surprisingly very nice as well as the video camera. I would recommend if your looking for a descent phone for under a hundred dollars. Big screen in a small slim body.

The phone is fine, works, makes calls and all things expected of a smart phone. the AT&T 56 pre-loaded apps and what ever is working in the back ground left only 630MB of the 2GB and 7GB of the 16GB for the operation of the phone and for the user to keep stuff. most of it can't be removed.
I will say 'Yes' to recommend but warn the friend 1st.

I purchased this phone on sale for 69.99. Its quite a strap considering the specs. 5.5in ips display with gorilla glass 3, clear audio output, reasonably snappy with 2gb ram and a pretty good finger print scanner. The cameras are sufficient , but lack optical image stabilization, but what do you expect at this price point? Ships with Android 7.1.1

I got this phone for my dad after his long time flip phone finally bit the dust. He really loved that phone but we couldn't find another that was of any quality so had to look elsewhere. Wanted to go for the jitterbug phone for seniors bc it seemed a good fit but would've had to switch networks so ended up with this one. It's easy to use and has a really big screen so no problems with seeing. However, it's downside is also it's size because it really is a bigger phone. It fits in his front pocket but not as comfy as the old one.
