ZTE A71 5G

How crap ZTE is – Just needed everyone to know that ZTE in general is crap the worst phone you can ever own now I own one of their cheaper ones it doesn't work at all and I bought a deer one and things on it just start changing like I I have the ZTE 715g auto rotation turns off on you constantly phone turns off constantly anything z t e brings out is crap and utter crap so people do not buy this stuff Show details

Worst phone I've ever used – Very unstable randomly restarts for no reason even when not in use did it at least 10 times today avoid at all cost I'd rather use a rotary phone than this POS Show details

Brilliant for the money – For the price of this phone it is pretty good. Normally $279 from Optus but I got mine on sale for $139. For the price I'm very pleased.

told that they had a update coming for it (this was back in May or June 2022). A week later the message came through saying that the new update was available and 5 minutes later the update was reseting the handset and then no more issues.

My mum has used this phone since then without any issues and it has performed excellent ever since. I have also brought 2 more of these for the kids and they are heavy users and they haven't had any issues.

I wasn't interested in the 5G side so I am still using my old ZTE T86 which is 5yrs old and still going strong. But I have no issues with ZTE devices and they are all Android (I don't ever want a iPhone) as I am Android all the way...

I will see if the kids want to post a functional review later.
