    It has a slow processor, a mediocre camera and a low-res screen that can be unresponsive to the touch.but The ZTE Speed is compact, comfortable to hold and comes at a bargain prepaid price.

    This phone accomplishes the basic tasks of an android phone of it's price point. 8GB of storage and accepts SD card but news flash!!!! It doesn't save apps to SD card only music, pics, and video. You also have to install a different video player if you make any recordings because the user manual tells you to access through the gallery which doesn't work and the preinstalled video player doesn't work either so I disabled that along with some other apps I don't use. Otherwise, if you use certain maintenance the phone is functional.

    I had to spend a lot of time reading manual I down loaded for simple task like making a phone call, listening to voicemail, setting up next bus three times so far, why my battery is draining do much,extra charges for a bit to read voicemail. I have had to spend a lot of time reading and re reading to manual I down loaded since what comes with the phone doesn't cover much. But sometimes it's a good phone.

    My niece's phone ceased to work anymore and this was the best deal for a quick Boost Mobile phone. Purchased the 1 year insurance since this one might mess up like the other one.

    The touchscreen is sometimes non responsive and the battery is not removable. Most Android phones have batteries that can be replaced, but this one does not.

    Overall this is a great phone. I bought it for my daughter and the only problem so far is the battery doesn't have a long life and needs to be charged a few times a day.

    needed a cheap phone to replace the one I broke the night before vacation. This has served the purpose well. It freezes up periodically and texting on it can be a pain but it was cheap and is still working. Will keep it as an emergency backup when I get my new phone.

    Bought this for my teenage daughter it serves it's purpose even though she broke it within 14 days. Best buy was great with giving her a new phone even though she has broken that one already as well. You know kids don't appreciate anything they didn't pay for!

    Its OK, but Issues.

    The phone is very nice for the price and is fast. There are a few issues: The charging port is on the side, this is very problematic esp. when trying to store it anywhere while charging. The user interface is very weird. This is kinda hard to explain. Default features are terrible so its going to take several days to get it all adjusted to preference. If it's your first smartphone, this is a good choice. I would not recommend this phone for someone use to more advanced/user friendly phones.

    Just a basic phone - great for use as a budget android phone. Battery life is about what is expected from this price set - features are just like any other budget android phone - would buy again if in a bundle.
