ZTE Blade V8 Pro (32GB) 5.5" FHD Display, Dual 13MP Camera's, Dual SIM 4G LTE GSM Factory Unlocked Phone (US Warranty) - Black Diamond

Coming from a LG G4 to this phone. Here is my Pro and Con list so far:Pros:Physical and Capacitive ButtonsFingerprint Sensor (quick-launch)BatteryFast and SmoothCamera3.5 mm Headphone JackDolby Sound for headphonesSD CardNon-Slippery BackConsHeadphone jack is on top of phone, not bottomThe first day, I had a hard time with the physical button. I'm so used to the software buttons that it annoyed me that I had to click an actual button. By day two, I had gotten over my annoyance, and instead am loving it and the capacitive buttons flanking it. Now, my big screen is completely used for content, instead of having the buttons onscreen. My G4 would hide the buttons when I was in a movie or a game, but I would have to swipe from the side to pull them back open. Now I just hit the physical button, and I'm good.The capacitive buttons don't have the symbols on them, but they do light up to show where they are. I appreciate the lack of symbols, as I can switch the order of the recent apps and back button.The fingerprint sensor is fast. It does take some getting used to to click the home button first for the fingerprint sensor to work (as opposed to the Moto G5 Plus, which works when the phone is completely off). Now it's no problem to do so. I also like that I can register certain fingerprints to open apps. So, my left hand index finger will open my camera, while my right hand middle will open my flashlight.Coming from a phone that I would have to charge twice a day, this 3140 mAh battery is amazing. I have gone a full 24 hours on a single charge. When I do need to charge, it takes about an hour to go from full dead to 100%.Even though this is a Snapdragon 625, it's still buttery smooth. I haven't seen any lag yet. It plays games that my G4 would stutter on, and it doesn't heat up that much when playing something intense.The camera with its dual 13 mp lenses is interesting. I've played around with the bokeh and monocolor aspects. Unlocking with a fingerprint to taking a picture is fast, under two seconds.Listening on headphones is great on this phone. The Dolby provides a distinct difference to how rich and full the sound is, and it gets much louder. This was one of the features I'd been shopping around for. The headphone jack on top of the phone is annoying, but not a dealbreaker.The feel of this phone is great. I know a lot of people like glass or metal backs, and an ultra thin phone, but I like the solid feeling. The back is a grippy plastic that still looks good, and doesn't slide on my desk. The front of the phone has a seamless edge between the metal edges and glass. I even like the weight of it. An extra 20 grams is not going to tire me out, and it's nice to hold a phone that doesn't feel like it will break if I set it down wrong.Best part was the price. A phone this good, for less than $150 is astonishing. It does only have Marshmellow on it, with no plans to be upgraded to Nougat, but again, not a dealbreaker. With everything else I get, for the price I paid, I can deal with an older OS.

Needed a good cheap smartphone with specs close to or better than the iPhone 6 as possible and unlocked to use StraightTalk plan. Works even better than I expected. Battery life with the quick charging is really good. NFC chip works with Android Pay. Fast fingerprint reader. Camera is better than I expected as well for the price. Very nice replacement for the iPhone on a budgetUPDATE: phone starts to lag after app updates to the point it starts to crash. NO NEWS ON NOUGAT OR IF IT WILL BE UPDATED TO A NEWER OPERATING SYSTEM.Update: starting to lose apps compatibity..to outdated for facebook now. Marshmallow is outdated.

The Zte Blade v8 pro is actually a really nice phone for the price. It's built very sturdy. Like the feeling of the glass curving into the metal case similar to iphone 6s. The plastic back doesn't really bother me like it has some reviewers on youtube. To me it makes the phone easier to hold. I am known to be clumsy with my phones so i also bought the zte case which i'll review separately. The fingerprint sensor works great. Just as good as my old Galaxy s6. The screen looks nice and i can see it fine in direct sunllight. It doesn't get as bright as my Samsung but its still very viewable when outdoors. I immediately put a custom launcher on it as im used to using Nova launcher on my android phones anyways. I've noticed no stutters in performance yet in the few days i've had the phone. If anything comes up i'll update my review. The speaker on this phone i decent in volume. Nowhere near as loud as my iphone 6s plus or my galaxy s6 but it gets the job done. My major complaint of the speaker is how tinny it sounds. Not a deal breaker though and only noticeable if you own a higher end phone. Call quality has been very good. I use this phone with T-Mobile service and i have not complaints yet with it. Speaker phone unless youre in a quiet room is kind of pointless as it isn't loud enough. It's strange though phone calls over speaker phone are quiet. But if an alarm or alert goes off its crazy loud. I love the camera so far... I do miss OIS but when it gets a shot clearly they look great. The bokeh affect, i believe that's how it's spelled, is pretty cool. The front facing camera is nice as well.. I have no complaints. Some people have issues with the phones weight. It doesn't bother me.. i like big heavy phones though. One thing i do hope for is an upgrade to Nougat at some point. ZTE has said nothing on this yet so i'm not getting my hopes up. I just hope they do upgrade it though. Last is the battery life. Its fantastic. If youve owned an iphone 6s plus you know about what to expect. I think it may last a little longer than the iphone though. I was used to my samsung where after about 2 hours the phone was almost dead. With this phone i'm getting 6 or 7 plus. It will easily last a workday. by 10 pm at night i'm usually still around 30 or 40%. Thats with alot of messaging and youtube use. Thats my review for now.. if you're looking for a phone off contract that can do most things a flagship can do this phone is a great choice. The main things you'll miss out on are speaker quality and Nougat(at the moment).

Excelente smartphone considerando el precio. Me gustan sus cámaras y su rendimiento es muy fluido. El diseño me parece elegante y la estupenda batería me aguanta dos días de oficina (más o menos) y se carga muy rápido. Recomendado.

Buenas características en relación beneficio costo es aceptable (buena cámara, buen cargador sobre todo por ser tipo c, buen rendimiento por 3 gb ram y 32 gb de almacenamiento

Es un celular súper completo y tiene magníficas prestaciones y desempeño. Además de contar con lo mejor de la gama media alta. Lo he probado y me encantó, súper completo memoria expansible, Nfc, BT, lector de huellas, doble cámara, velocidad lenta fabulosa, pantalla IPS brillante, UsB tipo-C, CARGA RÁPIDA, 4G, android prácticamente puro, es una magnífica inversión.

Gran celular funciona genial. La carga es en extraño rápida y dura todo el día aunque no pares de estarlo usando. La caja no viene con audífonos pero es un detalle pequeño. Es Android 6 por desgracia no se actualizó a 7 espero pronto allá esa actualización.Aun así me encantó tanto que quisiera comprar otro cuando este disponible.

Excelentes camaras y efectos, muy buen sonido con los auriculares, su carga es rápida. Los acabados son de calidad.Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
