ZTE Blade Q - User Reviews

  • I Love to see, if someone will port Android GO to this phone. Then this will be again good phone.

  • I had this phone for over a year. I thought it would be a good first Android phone, since I was a Maemo/Meego user. I didn't want to spend much, in case I don't like it. This phone made me like Android, but made me hate cheap Chinese smartphones. I still have it as a second phone, but there is no comparison between this and my new HTC 820. Both run KitKat, but the ZTE freezes at least two times a week, and people can't call me. I'm a tech, so I fix my own stuff, and I had to change the digitizer twice. Not because it broke by falling, but it just started to click on stuff that I didn't want. The second one wouldn't work on half the screen, but still clicked on stuff, and called people, by pressing call. I touched it somewhere and it would click somewhere else. This wast the most frustrating part. The second was the very very very very shitty camera. Apart from braking down, and freezing all the time, it was a useful phone. Pros: -Great battery life, after one year, still holds 3 days. -Pretty fast for it's price. When working well, it's faster then 2 year old flagships. -Fast web browsing, good interface, not too much bloatware. -Good signal strength. Cons: -It has the reliability of an old Alfa Romeo. -Both cameras are the worst I've ever seen, meybe the Sony Ericcson T300 was worse in 2004 :) -Digitizer started a different life after a while. The first one was original, and started to misbehave. I bought 2 new ones from ebay. The first one worked great, for 3 months, but I dropped it and broke. It was still working better then the previous one, and the next one. In my opinion you should only buy this phone, if you like fixing things, or want to keep it no more than a year, or 6 months to be safe :)

  • How to root the sd card? It's not working...

  • to use your sdcard you have to root your phone guys.

  • Does anyone know how to print screen? All I found on google/youtube is instructions for blade 3 and blade g and those tips aren't working on blade q. :S

  • I got this phone yesterday. What I liked about it is big screen, pixel density is good aswell so it didn't cause me trouble seeing the pixels. 1,3 GHz dual core + 1GB ram handled multitasking perfectly, I've played some of the games and they were going pretty well. And what fascinated me the most is that it ran so fluently and without any lag. Now things that i dissliked: camera and screen colors. So the camera is let's say minimum, pictures are nice in daylight but when there is no light pic quality will fall down. Front camera is very bad i give it mark 1 (from 1-5) because the quality is very poor. And about the screen colors they feel a bit washed out but I think this should be disregarded since this is, still, a bargain phone that you can get for less than 100 Euros. All in all, screen is pretty responcive, viewing angles are good because of the IPS panel, battery holds for a day or so. All in all i give it mark 8 ( from 1-10).

  • Great phone, especially for the price. I bough for 50 euro on contract 3 days ago and have had no problems with it, everything works smoothly. When talking sound is a bit strange, but it's probably just me getting used to the new phone(the quality is great, it's just a bit weird to ME). It probably won't play heavy games particularly well, but battery is great, and it runs all my less demanding apps no problem. I'm really surprised, I got it just because I don't like any of the flagship phones and am waiting to see the summer models, but now I think I might just hold on to it

  • this phone is great ..i have it fora week...the big problem for me is that mine cant play hd videos on youtube...tho it can play any other stream with high resolution...the density of pixels is also on the laq...but..all other stuff is great :-)

  • yesterday I bought it, and is best 4 the money, no doubt about that. The only thing that is annoying is the there is NO option to move apps from internal sd card to external sd card. All apps are going in internal sd card, ..... the option in settings "sd card" means for internal sd card. ' If anyone knows hoe to move apps ...... let me know.

  • Wery nice phone in that price range,it record video in 720p what was not mentioned in specification, good speaker, fast, reliable. And let say something that i didnt like about phone, for example: back cover not so good buld quality (crunching); bad pictures at night and that about it. All in all a good mobile phone. P.S> I hope that this helped someone

  • I would like to buy this phone, if anyone can tell me if it was good towards the cost?

  • I would like to buy this phone, if anyone can tell me if it was good towards the cost?

  • i can't to that too... iT's really really annoying!!!

  • Can I stop the camera shutter sound somehow? It's really annoying..

  • it's not true! Phone have compass and is very good for GPS!

  • No because game data mast be in phone memory (can't be on sd card),but phone memory is too low for game data.

  • Can i play gta san andreas on this device?

  • Please help me. I have problem with my flash. When i want to take a picture in night conditions and use a flash, flash is too short and my pictures are practically useless.Do i have a problem with my phone and flash or i have to make some settings in camera mode?

  • No compass, not good for GPS use..

  • The camera captures the format 720p, very good qualiti! This phone is "BEST BUY"!

  • The camera captures the format 720p, very good qualiti! This phone is "BEST BUY"!

  • This phone use normal SIM card

  • The phone is using regular sim card.

  • Can anyone tell me if this phone uses normal or mini SIM?

  • I bought this phone five days agora. When i compare it to Huawei g300 or blade 3 i cana say that this phone is great. It is best buy in mid segment. It has s4 looklike design. Screen display is with medium resolution but very good on sunny weather. Antutu 4 it scores, 10600points. Csr racing runs fluently. Camera is nothing special but everyday shooting tool. 5mp with panorama, hdr, smile detection

  • I've had 4 phones form ZTE so far. This one is the best!

  • Try factory resetting it :) Did the job for me

  • Very nice phone and quite fast for its price. The only but major problem is wifi - it keeps disconnecting from any wifi AP which makes it quite useless. I hope there will be fix soon, otherwise I will have to return it.

  • No, it does not. The moto g's processor is a lot newer and therefore faster, screen is miles ahead and so on and so forth. Also, comparing Motorola and ZTE is unfair, the former is an old known company that is now owned by google and should be taken as one of the best companies out there at the moment, while the latter is a chinese company... draw your conclusions from that. P.S.: Might be a pretty decent company and phone in the end, but I wouldnt bet on it

  • Bought Blade Q a week ago. Have had some problems. Friends have been complaining that voice cuts and had some disturbance. Lumia 710 seems to be faster while browsing. While calling it takes very long time to start a call. I'm dissapointed. Took it to repair, hope they can fix it. Hope they all are not the same. Even Blade 3 feels better.

  • qurious to see how the new midrange mediatek soc performs.. should be better than the old entry level novathor and easier on battery

  • Guys, tell us more about the camera performance. Is it any better than Motorola Moto G's? Is it capable to record 720p video with 30fps? How's the build quality of the phone? Does this Blade Q device manage to compete Moto G?

  • i have now zte blade 3 but this lag and alot.I have it because my lumia 620 is in maintence for seconmd time. but i read about the specs of BLADE Q and ordered it instantly.Give lumia to my son or exwife.Because i am pretty sure that this is better than lumia.And its only cost like 138.70�.It have bigger screen larger resolution and 1gb ram hd video

  • Have it for a week - great and perfect phone for its price! And the screen is IPS :)

  • After one week usage. Great phone for the price. No lagging or any other problems. Works great.

  • How does this cost in dollars?

  • best specification at low price......go ahead
