ZTE Blade V7 Plus

actually like it – For my basic user requirements there is much to appreciate, low profile easy to carry and great looks..! Regularly used for what's app video call's.. and performed very well The speaker phone performance needed improvement and it would have been a better experience. Show details

really cool – I bought this as a replacement for my nokia that stopped receiving textes after only 4 months. I have never heard of the brand but it has been a dream. Would highly recommend for a basic texting and call making phone. Of course more can be used on it my im old school and don't use those other uses. Show details

Love it – Easy to use slim light great price all it needs is more internal memory takes fantastic pictures. Easy to navigate and very hardy have dropped it with no damage would definitely recommend this phone to anyone especially those who have trouble navigating phone and technology very happy with this phone  Show details

I hated it – I just dropped this phone ... screen cracked, touch ceased to work (compared to other phones where even quite badly cracked screens continue to work). I looked up cost of replacing screen ... more than the purchase price! I WAS RELIEVED! After 3 months with this phone I had grown to hate it. It has many strong points for the price but, for me,… Read more

the jumbled logic of the interface, the way your aps move about, the way it ceases up sometimes, the lag when using Google Maps, the fact that the screen remains active so often when on a call - making the phone do very weird stuff ... altogether made it frustrating to use.

I guess, having been a long-time iPhone user, I am spoiled ... the stability, clarity and connectivity of the iPhone is impossible to beat ... but, there has to be better than this, even at the budget end of the market.

I think there is - my wife recently bought a Huawei Y6 for about the same $$'s ... I have been using that ... it's

performs much better on the above points, tho' it is a bit slow and does not have as much storage - and the camera's picture editing seems a bit glitchy - but, hell, I can make a phone call without it suddenly calling someone else in the middle of my call!

Such a bargain for the price – Without a doubt this must be the cheapest all feature phone available in Australia at the moment. With decent RAM and processor speed, the only thing it really lacks is space, which you can fix with an SD card. Don't expect to do a million tasks at once though. What you fail to get is the ability to multitask too much. It's just too much. Great aluminium casing. Screen that never seems to break. Bargain.  Show details

Worst phone I have had – Issues I have had with this phone since purchasing include: when on a call the screen stays active, I have to tell the person to hold on a second then press the home button and lock the screen otherwise I will put the phone on mute or hold with my face. even after doing this it randomly brings the call screen up again and I am constantly at risk… Read more

of putting people on hold. When I try to take it off mute or hold it doesn't work and I have to hang up and call back.

- When I play any type of media file or video you can barely hear it even with the phone up against my ear.

- Screen randomly lights up for no reason and drains battery. It is set to sleep after not being touched for 15 seconds but sometimes won't go to sleep/ lock at all despite no media playing or touching it.

-When I search in setting for audio then click audio it goes to storage settings instead. Cannot access audio settings no matter how I try.

- Photo editing very limited and only picks up one person in the photo ever. You cannot choose which face or area to edit.

I contacted the manufacturer regarding these issues and more 2 months ago but they did not reply. I would not recommend anyone buy this phone, I will be replacing it as soon as I get back from my holiday and have some spare money.

Good but 8Gig not enough – Phone was super value, packed with features, the perfect size and feels nice to hold. Screen touches respond well with no lag (But I'm not a gamer). Camera is Ok, sharp image but sometimes hard to focus quickly. Call volume is good and voices clear. Reception Telstra, never been a problem. Overall a reasonable phone for the price.  Show details

Great for the money, but lacking in features – I have bought 2 ZTE phones in the past 12 months. They slow down over time as you add more applications and I find the battery life to be getting slower over time. I replaced the first one simply because I dropped it without a cover and the glass smashed. I was needing to replace it anyway as the battery and performance was quite slow. I would probably buy an older model Iphone instead.  Show details

Waste of money – The phone was very basic and unreliable. Every person I've known who's purchased this phone has had theirs die randomly and unexpectedly as mine did. Wasn't worth the money. The screen quality wasn't very good and was straining on the eyes to look at. The phone overheated and didn't charge well either.  Show details

Great mid-range phone, 5* for "bang for buck" – With some money from odd jobs, our son bought this as an upgrade from the Colesworth $69 special ZTE 4GX plus, and it's a huge improvement from the cheapies. It runs smoothly, great screen, and the metal body feels stronger - great for teenagers. Battery life is excellent, and the 2 SIM slots (or 1 SIM and 1 micro SDHC card) make it really… Read more

useful for overseas travel. Has all the bands you need in Australia - B28 4G (700MHz), 850MHz (Telstra Next G), 900MHz (Vodafone/Optus), and 2,100MHz 3G (all 3 carriers in the cities). For $188 at OW it compares favourably with the $300+ Samsungs, Oppos and LGs.

Great phone good features without the price tag – This phone is Outstanding for the price it costs, The added finger print scanner helps me when I need to unlock my phone fast, Great display without the hefty price tag of the other big named brands. Highly recommend this phone if you are looking for an affordable smartphone with all the features without the price tag.  Show details
