ZTE Blade X - User Reviews

  • Alot of the tech nerds *cough cough* are here. This phone is actually pretty bad, it's only for simple people, for advanced people this phone is total crap

  • Whats up with the bad reviews i got a USED blade x and its phenominal i love everything thing about it

  • All of you giving the zte blade a bad review need to be checked at the door this is one of the best phones I have ever had I love my blade

  • Worst phone EVER. So many bugs with this phone it's disgusting. Cricket is losing a loyal customer of 8 years because they sold me this phone and want to replace it with another just like it. This phone was banned in the USA before and needs to be banned permanently. Cannot say in strong enough words how much I hate this phone and a waste of money it is.... 🤢

  • A good phone.. I 've had mine for a year now.. The only problem is dat i cant figure how to switch from 2g to 3g or 4g....settings are not helping.

  • I currently have the ZTE Blade X & Im having the same problems you are having. I've had my phone for almost 6 months, & im even having problems with the phone freezing, not opening my apps, deleting pictures, deleting apps out of nowhere, glitching.. theres so many problems my phone has that its not even funny. I liked the phone whenever i bought it but its already messing up. Im thinking about getting a upgrade or buying a new phone in general.

  • Update from June post: I have had my ZTE Blade now for about six months and I can honestly say that there are now only two features that I am deeply disappointed in: reception and speaker. My office is in the ground-level basement of my house and I have to go outside whenever I use my phone in order for the person on the other end to hear me. Additionally, calls are frequently dropped due to a weak signal. Now, I know that this is a common problem with most phones, however, I did not have this problem with my previous Moto E phone. The signal was always strong, calls were clear and rarely dropped. The other feature is the speaker - it sucks! When I put a caller on speaker, I can barely hear them without holding the phone up to my ear - which defeats the purpose of putting them on speaker in the first place. I would go back to my Moto E if it weren't for the bigger screen that I enjoy with my ZTE.

  • I have had my ZTE Blade X now for about three months (previously owned a Moto E). I like everything about this phone EXCEPT the reception (or lack thereof). When I make or receive calls, I either have to go outside or simply deal with having to constantly repeat myself over and over again. Sometimes, when I go outside, I still have to walk around, saying "Can you hear me now?" and then be still when communication is clear. Very frustrating.

  • I havent had it a week only 4 days and the sound went out.... I really like the phone but if you cant hear your phone ring or talk or speaker or watch a video on youtube the phone is useless. Zte needs to get it togther my last zte was great it was the zte grand max plus i loved it lasted until it couldnt anymore (3 years). But 3 days in unacceptable.

  • how do I add a new ringer tone to ZTE Blade X max. ? The ringer tone I want is not in the standard options that came with the phone

  • Bought 1 from Cricket. Within the first 7 days the battery fried and Cricket replaced it. A week or so later the second phone software went crazy and I couldnt take incoming calls. I spent an hour with ZTE to default it to the original programming which fixed the incoming ringing problem -- but then the phone locks up frequently. If it worked well it would be a wonderful phone -- sadly it does not so dont buy one! I am going back to a Samsung.

  • I've had this phone for almost a year and I feel like it's more than I need

  • I bought Moto X4 last Friday and i am not interested in ZTE phones.

  • These specs arent as impressive as other ZTE phones, id suggest looking else where for specs.

  • read the manual

  • Official page says heart rate monitor, where is the sensor on the phone?!?

  • i just cant imagine how people will choose this over the even unimpressive redmi note 5a.

  • Strange phone like apple X butwith a bit lower specs but much Much MUCH better price than Apple X.
