    I am very happy with this new ZTE SPEED for Boost Mobile. It has a 4.5" screen with a good picture quality, a front camera and rear camera with flash, and it is a 4G LTE phone.

    The ZTE Speed offers solid performance at an extremely affordable price. The phone itself has a nice quality feel and finish. The form factor is a perfect compromise between phones that are unwieldy or minuscule. The 4.5" display delivers vibrant colors, but the images tend to wash out when viewed from wide landscape angles. This can be a problem if you're watching a video with a friend. Overall, I'm very pleased with the phone as it delivers a smooth experience at a great price.

    This phone is a ridiculously good deal. I bought this for 40 dollars. That's cheap - cheap for any android phone. Don't expect it to be a galaxy S-500 or whatever! It works well. The charging port is plagued with inconsistent connections like the previous ZTE phone I owned two of. I think this is a design weakness with ZTE. It is relatively slow loading the screens and the RAM fills up quick compared to 600 dollar phones of course. It's a 40 dollar phone and seriously awesome for that cheap price. Can't complain. It will do anything you need an android phone to do at a burner price and it has a very good camera. There's nothing to b***ch about with the phone at that price point. Like you get an Audi for Ford price - no.

    The ZTE Speed phone is a good, solid phone available for a great price that does everything you need for a fraction of the cost of other phones. The display is clear, the screen size is very adequate, it is fast, responsive, and call quality is good. Love that it has both front and rear facing cameras. The phone charges fairly quickly and battery life is pretty good as well. Works great as a hotspot for me as well.

    I purchased this phone as a temporary replacement until my phone return from being repaired. I'm used to high end phones so I was surprised to see that this phone had a lot of the same features, was very easy to use and still had good quality. It is a great value for what you get at $40 when I purchased it. The camera did well too. Not good for motion shot just stills, but took good shots. Overall, I will be glad to have it if something ever happens to my everyday phone

    I love this phone and I'm still learning what it can do. I needed a smart phone and this is my first choice because of the price, ease of use and plans available. Having the Internet always at my fingertips is a plus. I can do voice activated calls and put apps on my phone. It' has the added plus of excepting a micro SD HC memory card. This phone lets me check my email and FB. It's screen is just big enough to see my games like word trick and candy crush soda.

    This is the second one we bought. The first one stopped working after taking a minor fall, and of course that was the one time we didn't purchase Geek Squad protection, but a few weeks later the phone went on sale and we bought another one to replace it. Overall, it's a good phone for the price.

    This phone is really good. I've had every Boost Mobile phone Best Buy has to offer. Every. Single. One. And this is definitely in competition with the higher end phones, which is astounding. No physical problems except for having a battery that can't be removed, very few bugs which is extremely surprising due to the value of the phone, the camera isn't horrible, the operating system is smooth and doesn't seem to slow down and bug out like most other cheap Boost Mobile phones have, even without cleaning the memory once in a month. This phone is a gem and I'm very glad I found it. I won't be giving it up until I upgrade to a higher end phone again.

    We bought this phone for both our parents as a gift . It is affordable and the screen is a larger one . The only thing I thing that could be improved is the battery life when you are playing with the apps it goes down quickly . My parents loved them and the phone is affordable .

    Perhaps this phone would not satisfy a techie, but it does everything I need it to do. It is so far superior to the Samsung Replenish it replaced, especially with battery life and antenna sensitivity. Fairly intuitive to use. For $39, it is hard to beat.

    I purchased my phone for a low, low price of $39.99 on January 27, 2015. It runs nice and smooth, so far. The keyboards a little small, but I may have to get used to it, since I like this phone. I used to have a 3G LG Realm through Boost Mobile and it was OK, but not the best like this phone. I would recommend this phone to anyone who is on a low budget to buy this 4G LTE mobile phone from Best Buy in Tacoma, WA on 48th St. There the best store with low, low prices.

    I bought the phone on a half price sale . Normally I hate touch screen, But this phone is so easy to use and the larger screen makes it easy to see and read . The battery life is great as I only have to charge it every two days whereas my old one need to be charged every day . It's big but not so big as to hard to carry or handle .

    The programming isn't as fancy as the other expensive phones, but I can still do everything I want or need, by downloading a few apps. Found that once I removed or disabled the junk programs or features, it works even better. Battery life is the only negative, but I've found it easy to keep a charger around for all day surfing or music while working or running errands. For the price, can't beat it. Call clarity is good, you shouldn't be disappointed.

    This phone is a decent little phone. It has a relatively good screen, but as most phones it does work well in direct sunlight. It is fast enough for most task and has so far served me well. I hope more manufactures produce decent units with a minimum of 8GB internal storage. Need a low cost phone get this one on sale.

    Most of it worked well. I did need to go to boost. Mobil because your techs were unable to get my voicemail to operate. Boost took less than a minute to correct the problem. I do like the size and operation of the phone. Your people were unable to get me a case for the phone and suggested I go online for one. I went instead to dollar general and got a perfect fit case for 7.00.
