ZTE Geek V975 - User Reviews

  • Help me ! the data is not working ...... besides wifi working very well tell me how to get data settings

  • i bought zte geek in may, and first thing i noticed was its awesome display and built quality, looks really premium, and all you people complaining about it being weak, it accidently feel from my hand on road while riding on motorbike, its body got heavily scratched and bumps, but nothing happened to it literally! n many times it fell from my hand too, soo dont lie if you dont own it! n battery is superb it gives me around 4.30 to 5hrs ON SCREEN time which is really good as far as i have seen, n on hardware well intel is real winner in multitasking, it never hangs or quits, but yes on gaming it gets hot as hell!! software is soo soo, but we can install launcher, n otg is there too, with really high transfer speed, n lastly display is really soo good, i love watching movies and vids on it. n camera is not so bad as people are saying i took some really nice night shots as it has 2.0 aperture wide lens, but yes you hav to lock focus rightly.

  • Any body tell me that ZTE Geek V975 is GSM mobile OR CDMA Mobile , Plez help me, I want to buy it for CDMA SIM...

  • hi guys.i have had this phone.it has really good interface.good speed and benchmark,with intel inside cpu.but first problem is that the rear camera is really poor than a 5mpx and second is a low capacity battery. i have sell this and going to buy HUAWEI HONOR 4C!

  • I bought this mobile one month ago,It is really fist but battery is so bad. if u use 3G only 3 to 4 hours.They said battery is 2300mah but actually 1700mah(cpu-z).Front camera ok but main camera not good its worse then huawei y300 5mp camera. set also not so strong but Beautiful set.

  • Yeah it have gsm but single sim

  • It is gsm phone?

  • It is gsm phone?

  • it's a very good device..with some add...run only B06 firmware and flash last google apk.. then the device work very very well smooth.. there are no bug in normal use..internet wifi bluetooth work!! i tested him and it's my daily devices... the only thing against it is Android 4.2 (now there is 4.4 kitkat)

  • Are u sure its 1 gb ram ?? .... bcz every online vendr says it to be 2 gb ram .... ... I realy like the spec they say ... and am looking forward to buying one

  • don"t buy this phone.The internet receiver of this phone is very bad.Just buy lenovo

  • suddenly in my galerry it show NO THUMBNAIL and sudenlly when i wake up this morning,all my apps and game a re gone. not even in internal or external storage. its unistall someone please help me!

  • Please am in Cameroon and I wish to have a copy of this ZTE v975 phone. what do I do?

  • it is not fake

  • The apps installable spaces is just 2GB only. The 8GB internal storage mentioned in the specs is not for apps installation at all. Apps you can install in the internal is only 2GB. The other is for storing files and musics, videos.

  • Its available here in Malaysia, if you wish to buy, leave your contacts to buy for Rm600.

  • hi everyone. how much have you paid for this phone? is there any fake version? is this reliable:

  • what are the real dimensions

  • support one mini sim with SD card support up to 32GB antutu 4.2 score : 22800 5.0 OGS screen 320PPI GREAT PHONE FOR THE MONEY !

  • this model can support dual sim ?

  • Its A dual Sim Phone ?

  • RAM is 2GB, Gorila glass no?!

  • This one was the most difficult to find its dimensions. From ZTE China website (only) : Dimensions : 144 x 71 x 9 Weight : 148g NOTA BENE : An "UNICOM" version exists, and its dimensions are a very little bit different : Dimensions : 144 x 71.5 x 9.5 Weight : 148g And, i don't know if its a mistake or not, but a "company" news on the official ZTE website is reporting another dimensions, once again a little bit different : Dimensions : 145 × 70 × 9.5 Weight : 148g

  • it has a great CPU with 2 GHZ I reckon it should be better than other the same cpus

  • Is it true that after changing from chinese to english,somethings are still in chinese?..and is it true that google apps aren't preinstalled in the phone?

  • I have this phone since around two months and I must say its really good piece of hardware. 2300mah battery last for a full day of usage without dimming the screen and I must say I travel a lot during day ( around 3h on bus and train). Phone is lightning fast and responsive, no hickups, random restarts or freezes. Screen is really of a great quality and only thing I can complain about its just back camera which isn't best. But as they say u can't have it all especially for a price like this which is a steal in my opinion. Btw. This phone looks way better in real life than on pictures.

  • There are some mistakes in the article. ZTE GEEK series has two versions. One named as U988S is TD-CDMA/GSM with Nvidia Tegra 4, 1.8 GHz processor, 2 GB RAM, 2 MP front camera and 1080p display. The other one.The other one is V975 for WCDMA/GSM with intel's CLT Z2580 chipset. And also the two specifications are different.

  • Only one correction; ZTE Geek V975 have 5 inch HD IPS Retina screen and it is 1280x720 pix,,...and I think it have 2GB RAM memory and 8GB internal memory (my sample have 2GB)!

  • I have this phone for a 10 days and I can only say that this phone is much,much better then some "brand-name" phone that cost much,much more money. The display of this phone (FullHD IPS-Retina)is one of the best that I have ever seen,and the Intel-Atom Dual-Core CPU is realy quick and reliable. Phone works very fluently with Jelly Bean (v 4.2.2),and the graphic GPU PowerVR SGX544 is simply so far the best solution for all demanding new games.

  • As long as you don't live in China ( and obviously U don't ) you can't use 3g on u988s as it operates on td-scdma. I haven't seen Tegra 4 phone yet that is wcdma.

  • yo bro its a gud smart phone.i use it, i'll suggest u,k.

  • Guys can someone help me please? im looking for the 'ZTE Geek U988S' with a TEGRA 4 processor. This one here seems a complete different phone. Does someone know from where i can get the Geek U988S model? Peace

  • I just ordered this device form an online store. Will post a more in dram, not depth review. I noticed that all vendors specify 2 GB not 1 GB and no gorilla glass. The specification here appears to be incorrect.

  • LOL are you sure about that, looking at the spec of thios mobile is not say that to me.

  • mother of telephone.

  • The Device Is already available here: If you Will register through this link you will get 5% Off: You can read about the reseller here:

  • Follow this link booking only at the moment, delivery will not be started until 08 Aug.

  • Guys where can i buy this phone from? Is there any Chinese website i can get it from ?

  • because its a chiness handset tieup with Indian ZTE company...it is resone its avavilable only in India...

  • Why this phone I cannot find in malaysia

  • A normal person does not want high end specs.. all he needs is flawless performance and compatability with latest apps.. in that sense.. this fone is awesome..

  • It's not a high-end.

  • Amazing specs, it roughly got it all for a fair price....wow

  • I think it would be better if it was dual sim .

  • why? 2GB ram is normal for today's high-ends and it would also help to utilize it with a dock as a desktop(ubuntu)

  • Well it sounds nice but all tose specifications you mentioned are not very pragmatic...

  • the specs looks good and if the price is adequate i'll probably get it but they could do much better, like 2+GB RAM with ubuntu or dual boot ubuntu/android

  • I agree :-)

  • 100% agree. So many flagship phones are terribly overpriced. Seems phone manufacturers are forgetting how important pricing is when it comes to selling

  • Handset is to strong, Read before you post. Search before you post. Your question is probably already answered. Great many thanks.

  • the specifications are solid and even the looks are understated and elegant.. looks like a hot seller

  • Anyone notice that the MOST IMPORTANT factor in any kind of product: the "BEST VALUE FOR MONEY" is not mentioned at all in many gadget/tech review sites incl. GSMArena?? Ferrari may produce the best car in the world from the overall aspects, but every one also knows about its exorbitant price... thus, is Ferrari car the best car to buy for any consumer? :-) The ratio between the Price vs the overall performance/quality should be of the prime consideration in any prudent purchase decision! Ignoring the price factor is unreal in this physically finite world!

  • The processor is strong but little and being the latest tiny 32nm tech , it generates less heat and requires lesspower to operate so the battery is more than perfect.

  • Intel is takin` over

  • not bad. i prefer to 5 inch display with 720p resolution than 1080p. and i hope the price is reasonable

  • not bad. and i hope the price is reasonable

  • Very good points sir!

  • It's a shame to see it only has 1gb RAM as opposed to 2gb, same goes for the 720p screen, should be 1080p. and one last complaint from me, 2300 mha battery on 2ghz?

  • Looks great

  • Just speca on paper are good ,but quality and price would be low. & The most important it won't have much benefits & lag because of software engineers.

  • fone for geek

  • Not so Good but this phone can have very good price and at the end is the faster phone in the market even beat the GS4.
