Love my zmax 2, it was a throw out phone from my wife, the motherboard fried but I just put another in and it's been great ever sense for 7 yrs. Does anything a newer phone can, tough as nails, super fast, big screen, picks up service even when her new ZTE can't. Has great gps, she hotspots off me a lot (so yea it's got hotspot!) Upgraded to 6.1, partitioned a 64 gig card (could go bigger) to get it to accept it and now has massive internal storage! 2000+ songs, 2000+ pics, 200+ video, and 48 gigs storage left! Has great typing and next word ability. Super text tool bar. Awesome mic and talk to text. Super simple and easy to work with! If this one fails I made a clone phone of it, wouldn't have another.

JJ, 12 Jun 2020Have had this phone since it came out... still going strong 6/11/2020 best phone i have ever h... moreI have the same, love it! It's my wife's old phone I rebuilt, it's motherboard fried. Love it so much I made a clone of it Incase it fails. I have hopped up these sooooo much. Best hop up is get a 64 gig card, put a memory card partitioning tool app on your computer. Wipe and partition the 64 gig card for 2 32 gig partitions because it will only accept a 32 gig card. It fakes out the cpu into believing it's a 32 gig and sneeks it in the back door. Once into the phone, just format for internal storage and it dumps all card info into cpu and the cpu accepts the 64 gig and agrees to it. The 60+ gig then appears into memory storage. Plus I dumped and disabled all junk factory apps, and added in software that lets me app storage in sd. My little 15 gig phone has over 2000 songs, 50+ videos, 2000+ pictures, 20-30+ apps and so on. It still has 48 gigs of storage left!. Also a z957 parts interchange with the z958 so all but motherboard interchanges. It even has a cooler looking screen with ice blue glowing controls and breathing menu button, lol. I have it's screen in mine. Often cheaper to buy a parts or not working phone with good screen to get a new screen if yours gets broken, now you have more options!

No hotspot capability, no OTG cable capability, no gyroscope MEMs inside, horrible phone mic that can't pick up my voice unless I have it in speaker mode, and apparently can't be unlocked now. Tracfone will give me $10 for its FCC-mandated buy back program for phones that can't be unlocked. Spent $150 on this and can't say I'll ever do HSN.com again.

Have had this phone since it came out... still going strong 6/11/2020 best phone i have ever had... only looking to upgrade because my storage is maxed out..... but It still runs fast as ever even after close to 5 yrs of use. Outstanding device for the price....at the time i paid around 100 bucks... and the screen still looks brand new. I have been through 3 cases... in the time... still using original screen protector. Wish you could still find ZTE phones to replace this one.

This is one hell of a phone. I've owned this phone for at least 3 years, if not 4, and still counting. This thing has been accidentally dropped in water and taken a lot of beating but is still fully functional. I don't want to jinx myself now, and if I ever need a budget phone or "cheap" phone under 150 USD, I'm probably going to ZTE and seeing what they have to offer. They make (made?) hella durable phones.

I have had this phone since it came out 3 years ago and haven't had any problems with it. The best phone I ever had. I have all kinds of apps on it and still no problem. I have my SD card as internal memory. If I ever do need to get another phone it will be another ZTE for sure.

Nice phone for the low price.
Bought 2 of them for $49 each at Best Buy a year ago
Both had battery problems- won't charge to 100%. Had to buy 1 new battery for $15.
Still- got my moneys-worth --- for about $115 --- for 2 16gb 5.5inch phones!

Wi-Fi connection on this phone frequently fails. I can't find any solution to solve the problem. I'm thinking about buying new phone.

I have owned this smartphone for several months. I am familiar with some of the complaints mentioned above. The size is large, but there are lots of smaller cells if that's what you want. I wanted large for easy video viewing. It still fits in most of my shirt pockets. It is very frustrating when the dialpad disappears, but there may be a workaround. Ya gotta play with these things because instruction manuals seem to be a thing of the past.

This is a very poor phone. To large. Pocket dial wonder phone. Cuts off calls. Screen disappears when talking on phone and can not find it again to hang up or enter numbers or letters. I hate it alot. Doubles what u say on texts.
