ZTE nubia Z17 lite - user opinions and reviews

I've been using this phone for the past one month now and so far so good...I haven't experienced any issues. However, I'll really appreciate it if Nubia could come up with an upgrade for the phone that enables both sims to actively make hd calls (dual sim dual volte).

I have this phone for about 3 months now. Here are my pros and cons:
PRO's:
* RAM is GREAT!!! I can run all sorts of apps without running out of memory.
* Camera is good.
* Battery does last at least a day. (this was a concern before buying it)
* Screen is very good value for money.
* It is not too heavy for the size of the phone and battery it packs.
* Good dual SIM handling. No issues with phone calls/texts.
CON's:
* Google Play stops downloading apps at times and then it fixes itself... This is very frustrating.
* CPU - It is fast enough but it is a bit slow to open apps.
* I noticed that it is not that fast downloading pages over WiFi. My previous phone was fasted in downloading webpages.
* No headphone jack - I knew this drawback when I purchased it. I would prefer it if it had one.
* No external storage. this is an issue that is solveable since 64GB internal storage should be enough for most people and if you need this crucial for you, you probably wouldn't buy y this phone anyway.
* OS - It is a bit crap. basically there is little room to tweak settings as you want and it is frustrating at times. I'll give it a little longer in case they fix any bugs but I'll ultimately switch if needed.
* Initial setup was frustrating!!! the WiFi would not connect and the setup would go around in loops. on the 10th or 15th (between the 2) attempt, it finally did an update before completing the setup and that solved the bug with the WiFi so I was able to then complete the setup. That said, I still think that the WiFi is slower than it should be so the problem is not totally solved.
In conclusion, there are days where I am very happy with it and I would give it a comfortable 8 out of 10. Then again, there are days like today where Google play won't install a new app I want and I have to work around stuff and I would give it barely a 6 out of 10. Keeping in mind that it is fairly cheap for what you get, a true reflection of the phone for me would be a 7. I can't rave about this phone because it has issues. It's also not as bad as some make it out to be. If I had spent EUR 300 on this phone, the score would have been a 4 or a 5 but with the EUR 160 I spent which included a screen protector and case, It will do for a couple of years.

I've had this phone for over 1 month. The software is really bad. The play store will eventually stop downloading and resetting the phone solves the problem for a few days. Support at ZTE is non existent. Sent 2 emails and tried also facebook page. No avail. Then I installed a custom rom...lineage (unofficial) and the phone is the best phone I had so far. P.S. There is a light leakage at the very edge. If you are a perfectionist don't buy this phone.

Good hardware and the worst ROM ever. Don't buy unless you plan to get a custom rom on it. I just decided to get rid of the stock within a few months because it was just so extremely badly done. And trust me, I had plenty of phones within my hands.
Some of the issues with it:
- The draggable quickmenu is placed where the dot of your keyboard is. That's right,try to punctuate correctly when the keyboard gets closed down randomly.
- Google randomly stopped syncronizing without me changing anything on the phone for weeks. Fixed itself,again,without changing anything.
- They have this feature to keep your battery up for a longer time where push notifications can't start the backend services of most apps. So you won't get 90% of notifications unless you have the app open.
- The whole menu is just illogical and constrained. For instance There are edge gestures,but you can't select what should happen when you do them. It is either off or a single preset ZTE decided on. And this is true for most settings

AnonD-743116, 08 Mar 2018where i can buy this smartphone in philippines?
Please help !! :DSorry. I figured out getting it inside the Philippines would cost you so much with all the customs tax and post office fees. All in all you might pay around P3-4k more if you bought it from AliExpress, Gearbest, Geekbuying, Banggood etc.
Geekbuy on Lazada on the other hand offers an all-inclusive price of P14,115 for the black gold and P14,847 for the blue variant. Plus the seller also offers a maximum discount of P200- for both of these items which you can avail upon check out.
Please disregard my first comment as it would certainly cause a ton of inconvenience and perhaps NTC(National Telecommunications Commission) troubles as well as I heard any smartphone importation must be registered under it.

Please help !! :DHave you bought it yet? If not you can check out AliExpress and look for the seller named ValueDeal as it offers one of the lowest prices with free case and tempered glass at US$205 or roughly P10,800- as per writing.
I'm also hoping to get this phone particularly for its bezel less screen and overall build quality.
