ZTE Blade G2 - User Reviews

  • phone ok but urgent need touch screen to replace

  • uninstall google chrome browser, UC browser and any pre installed apps which are not necessary i.e. google play books, movies, antivirus, etc. keep only those apps that you need. There is a Chinese Browser Pre-installed (name is in chinese script), this does not crash and works very fast. This will resolve all problems with the mobile. This is a very good mobile with good camera, wifi, whatsapp, call clarity, 3.5 mm handsfree (great quality), Sound Quality, excellent charger, etc. Cons: Low speaker volume. Can't get backcover, flip cover or other accessories.

  • Hi zesa...very nice of u to share links n rooting procedure...u hv detailed it very well...I was looking for step by step root method but got more n more confused by surfing..even xda didn't help. My Blade's screen goes blank while on call..may P.Sensor issue...can u suggest me sumthng for that may b a Proximity Caliberation app.....

  • Looks like its a clone of ZTE. You could have returned it for product not correct send to you . Can you let us know as what its displays when its starts on .

  • The phone is not upto my expectation.The features do not match with demo given by salesman.The phone is going in hang position frequently within 1 month of purchasing it.I am unhappy with this phone.

  • Hi.while browsing web pages the browser is crashing. I did a factory reset. But no use. Chrome browser and all other browser also getting crashed.any one face this problem.also browsing is tedious in this phone.

  • hello I purchased this phone from paytm but it doesn't look similar to the pictures shown everywhere, it had no ZTE LOGO. also there is no information availabile on imei.info. can anybody tell me that is it ok or not

  • please read my post in order because i was unable to post in single msg.... Here is detail and time Part 1 - 2015-07-01 01:41 Part 2 - 2015-07-02 21:07 Part 3 - 2015-07-01 01:45

  • I have Two owesome apps for you First of all you have to root via framaroot app (see my last post) App no. 1 - Roehsoft RAM Expander(5.3 mb) - This app can increase your phone's RAM and phone will run faster , you can increase your ram upto 4 GB but i think increasing 500 mb ram is good enough because processor is only 1.2 ghz, its creat swap file in storage (i suggest creat 500 mb swap file in phone storage only) swap file means increased ram , also on notify icon when you creat swap file , it will show total ram of phone after creat ... app direct download link - App no. 2 - Derectory Bind (76 kb) - This is magical app, you can play any hd game any size of game in your mobile with help of this app, no worry about storage space, put game data in your external sd card(any folder) and bind this folder to original location of game files or obb file (you can also use it for whats app folder then whats app data will save in ext sd card directly) after bind successfully files will show in both, phone storage and sd card but its not in phone storage you can check it via removing sd card or check space of phone storage to understand how to use this app go to this url read carefully

  • tip [transfer (move) files manualy don't tick on {Transfer files from target to data.} if you don't know how to move then tick] I have installed (wild blood, asphalt 8 and more games and they runs smoothly because my ram inceased and about 3.5 gb of games files are in ext sd card and i bind it using directory bind) i love these apps Thanx for reading Waiting for feedback enjoy...............

  • Hello freinds zesa back again sorry for my last post everything was right but which rom i was install is not kitkat rom its looking like kitkat version but its jellybean 4.2.1 But this time i have realy something owesome for zte blade g2 v880h users go to this url, if not open directly, google it and download all importand softwares and zte blade g2 rom and flashing rom I thing old rom is better than new rom (New Rom have - Wifi direct, Menu Optin changes,shows app icon in file manager,some new apps ,etc) Download mediatek drivers , Flashing ROM (New or Old), SP Flash tool from above url Step 1 - see video how to use sp flash tool on youtube or download video from videos.yaaya.mobi (keywords - How to use sp flash tool) its easy Step 2 - Back up your phone data and Install the new ROM using SP Flash tool Thats it

  • This is an excelent phone at this budget, i'm buying this from flipkart at rs. 3000 and it work best but after 5-6 days it has only one problem related to 3G network i.e. it shows no 3G network available (checked on voda aircel idea) and it works only in 2G network otherwise it is good phone except unstable 3G network.

  • This Phone is really so great, I am using from 1 year and my usage was so rough, screen glass broken, dropped many times and still working great as new.ZTE is the best "i am giving 10/10 for the performance" Camera quality also good .. Price is really beatable. Battery backup great . Design also good . Wifi/3g great speed.I used samsung,nokia phones but just wastage of money.

  • One of the best fone i have used so far... If you want to buy just basic fone for the using of all the facilities of internet its the perfect.. but if you wish to use it for Game..then Go with Tablet, If you wish to Go for advanced camera result then Go with Samsung/Apple of Sony. if you want the speed in your fone then this is the best piece. because it never get turn off of it never Get hanged . I had faced one issue before 2 month, in my cell fone the Airtel and Docomo sim was not supported rest of the SIM card was running smoothly. so i get it replaced form the company. Best fone in the budget. You cant expect more at the lowest price. Thanks

  • language english only available..and if phone is running screen is off..this is very critical problem

  • To root this phone download framaroot.apk from here This is torrent url download it via bittorrent Install and click on Boromir and restart

  • ZTE Blade G2 V880H Review. These days many android phones are available on markets. But it is very hard to judge best android phone under budget. Let's start with android phone ZTE Blade G2 V880H. Look And design. This android phone is developed by Chinese manufacture ZTE. First of all the device look is very gorgeous and stunning, device come with 4.5 inch IPS display, screen density 240 dpi. It's back cover come with black matt finish which quite handy to hold the phone in hand. The right hand side of device we get power button, And left hand side it has volume up and down button, On front of device it has VGA camera on top right, and top left we have sensors. On top there is 3.5mm phone Jack for headsets or earphone. Company done great job for device look. It feel very good in hand. Device look and design are very impressive. Call quality, Speaker, In earphone quality. Here we get impress too, the call quality of mobile phone is adequate, Speaker sound is good but not too loud, But it is quite clear. That's means we have to choose right ringtone to get much from phone speaker. And about earphone quality which come with device is OK, I used creative EP - 630 and Nokia WH - 205 for testing of audio quality of phone through 3.5mm phone Jack. It really surprising, it audio quality almost alike my Sony mp3 player. But the music player come with this device it have Equaliser as well as bass boost, 3D effect and Preset Reverb. All these things deliver premium quality on earphone or headsets. Overall audio is astonishing. Camera Quality. Now, Let's move to camera quality. For outdoors photographs, In morning and at noon the photo capturing is brilliant, But at night it have flashlights for capturing image. One can get better shots only by using perfect setting of camera option for photographs capturing. Now, About camera video quality, Video recording is not good, It's work well only need to do lots of tweaking. During video camera testing I was got neutral video, may be little bit distorted video. Generally camera is good for image capturing. But not all for video recording. Build Quality And Battery. This is the matter of device quality. The build quality of device is excellent. Here ZTE Company done wonderful and fair work for related to build quality of device as compare to many other mobile phone company like Samsung, Nokia, Sony, Micromax, lava and etc. And it has 2000mAh Li - ion battery, Anyone can get full day battery backup under mixed usages. But somebody like to play heavy games on mobile phone then battery not give full day backup, And it get discharge soon. Generally, battery give impressive backup. Pros 1. Display 4.5 inches with IPS. 2. Touch response is very responsiveness. It have 5 fingers multi touch support. 3. Overall Sound quality is incredible. 4. Quad core processor with 1.2 GHz. 5. Build in 3G, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. 6. GPU : PowerVR SGX 544MP. ( Games played on this device like Subway Surfers, Temple Run Brave and Pocket Rally. These games were tested. And all these games run without any lag.) 7. Camera : Rear 5 megapixel with Flash. Front 0.3 megapixel. 8. 2000mAh Li - ion battery. 9. OTG support you can use pen drive. Cons 1. It have only 512mb RAM. 2. Camera for video recording is not Okay. Verdict. It is clear that ZTE Blade G2 are perform theirs task very excellently. Mobile phone users almost get every feature on this mobile phone. So, What else expect with this device at 5K to 10K budget price. And at this budget price it is just unbelievable to grab a such kind of android mobile phone.
