januszzbych · May 26, 2014

Hi, it has Snapdragon 801 , here you can get it: If you dont want wait to long i suggests choose a DHL shipping and you have two options, standard its only smatrphone with original box inc. charger and usb cable, option 1 means the same + the headphones, phone case.

but take care , the included headphones are don’t compatible , because the zte have a omtp jack / other standard , the same have sony xperias, etc.

Hi, yes it has a notification led (red/green/blue), Battery life is good i think , i can´t tell you the exact time but with heavy usage (power saving-off, hsdpa using , web browsing, etc.) i have 65% battery and 2 hours of screen on (60-70% brightness) , it is quite good

Lte (4g) - test

I have new info for those who want try 4G (LTE) but cannot disconnect from the 3G network , just go to dialer and type this: *#*#4636#*#*
you will be in the testing menu , now go to phone information then scroll down and you will se: set preferred network type and choose LTE only , i can´t try it now because I live in a small town/village and we don’t have 4g coverage only 3G-HSDPA..

Good Luck and tell us the testing result a speedtest would be also nice

Just read

, the build quality is good , it´s plastic but don´t feels cheap it is like the samsung galaxy phones. Screen density? If you mean DPI , originally it´s 480dpi but you can change to 445. The speaker is really great, loud and good sound the build in dolby equalizer give to it an extra kick. ZTE said that there will be the 4.4 update soon , when you have root you can remove it easily.

I think Huawei Ascend P7 is better than this phone.
