Mind a slower processor, a small camera and may be unresponsive to the touch screen that has a low load.
Bottom Line Speed The price is attractive, but are faster and more reliable, better leave it for prepaid handsets can.
A great value as smartphone technology is becoming an increasingly difficult task is to find a low-cost device, high-end features and advanced specs. And at first, Boost Mobile ZTE Speed competitively low price of $ 100 may be an attractive offer.
Despite its name, the quad-core processor speed is less than easy task - but do not be fooled. The 5 megapixel camera takes pictures underwhelming, and the low-res display due to unresponsiveness from time to time require the repeated taps.
ZTE has intensified over the sin of speed speed in almost the same price comparison smoother and more reliable way to perform many of the phones on the market that fact. Mobile (LG, like Best F3) to promote some offers, and other prepaid carriers also alternatives (eg Cricket Wireless' HTC Desire 510) is. Although whatever channel you choose, the ironically named ZTE speed is much faster than that will not be hard to find a phone.
It is compact at 5.3 inches, though (it weighs only 4.8 ounces) tall and 2.6 inches wide, and the lightweight, speed by measuring 0.4 inches, thick. That genes can slip into the pocket, while it means that there will be a snug fit. Although it is still comfortable to hold. I can maneuver it easily with just one hand, and with his thumb had no problem reaching across the display.
S 960x540 pixel resolution handset with a 4.5 inch LCD display game. Text and images are clear and easy to see even still, he did not look as sharp or crisp. This is blurry or pixelated edges a very close eye on the place, and no aliasing occurs around the letters. Display on the highest level you can stand to be bright, and at times, it is unresponsive. I was dismayed to tap or register, to get an action to swipe again when there were opportunities.

All keys with your fingers to make them easy to find, is slightly raised above the surface. On the back is a 5 megapixel lens and flash, as well as audio to the speaker in the bottom right corner are two small slits.
Battery door to avoid fingerprints and does well to improve the grip of a soft, matte plastic, is made out. Unlike most backings, battery door is not a flat plate - the device around the four edges of the curves. If you still have a small indentation on the bottom left corner by using backing can pry, but it will need a little muscle. Once removed, you will have access to the microSD card slot. Unfortunately, 2,000mAh battery is embedded inside. This is not a deal breaker for me, but it is okay to swap the battery for consumers hoping to be a sour note.

Camera and Video
5-megapixel rear camera image quality was passable, but do not expect to take clear photos. The objects are easy to make out, can see blurry edges. Fuzzy faces seen as particularly special. Digital noise and there was a significant amount of graininess, and that something is casted a slight blue tint was light sources.
Usually, the colors muted and darker hues seen were difficult to distinguish. The camera itself is too slow - you ready to take another shot before may need to wait a few beats. For more on image quality, please check the pictures below to see it in its full resolution click on each individual image.
Similar results video quality. Both moving and still objects were easily recognizable, though, the images were not particularly sharp and blurred edges. Light sources maintained that the blue tint, and black colors were reduced to only jet black. Fortunately, though, both near and far up the audio well.

Performance
Call quality
I tested the speed at San Francisco offices, and call quality was enough. Some of my call was clear and easily understood, and volume range was more than adequately. Moreover, none of my calls are dropped and audio continuously. Every so often, though, when I spoke, I could hear a bit of static, and her voice did sound a little hollow. At the end of my colleagues, I was told that it seemed clear.
The audio from the speaker to the maximum volume came off poorly focused. As with iPhone speaker sounds thin out even more. Than the ear speaker, my calling partner seemed slightly Tinny and faster. All in all, however, either audible holding a conversation on speaker and was easy to understand.
Data speed, processing speed and battery life
Sprint's high-speed 4G LTE phone features brand called Spark, but the speed of downloading content and browsing the Web for hours of data were very slow. For example, on average, respectively, CNET's mobile and desktop sites to load lasted 6 and 9 seconds. New York Times' mobile page loads after 17 seconds and 12 seconds on each clocked at ESPN for its desktop version 5. loaded in both mobile and desktop site.
44.52MB game Temple Run 2 approximately 2 minutes to download and install an average of over 24 seconds. Rates were 5.24Mbps download and upload rates, 5.47Mbps Ookla speed test app to average out.
The average rate of 4G LTE download 5.47Mbps
The average rate of 4G LTE upload 5.24Mbps
Temple Run 2 app download (44.52MB) 2 minutes and 24 seconds
Download 6 seconds CNET's mobile site
CNET Download 9 seconds to desktop site
57 seconds of the restart time
Camera boot time 2.14 seconds
I have mentioned before, quad-core 1.2GHz processor speed of the device is anything but. , By calling the board to launch apps and returning to the home screen and small tasks like simple felt slow. And video recorder and camera for loading games even more complex functions like switching felt laggy.
For the most part, these comments reflect the quality test. On average, the handset to launch the camera about 57 seconds of the restart took 2.14 seconds. The best multithread Linpack score was 203,704 MFLOPs in 0.83 seconds. Frankly, I do not really match my real world experience that a high result - Funnily enough, however, it's best quadrant score was 10,181.
Hours of LTE device data (left) and some of the best quadrant score.
Anecdotal observations 2,000mAh battery is still decent. According to a report in the 14 hours of talk time and standby easily lasted a weekend. With medium to high usage, as well as a charge can survive a workday. I have lost my lab tests to drain the battery of our own free will update this review with the results, so be sure to check back with this review.
Conclusion
Smart phone for a contract of $ 100 is a good price - especially 4G LTE, download Android 4.4 KitKat and a 5 megapixel camera that has a device. Unfortunately, ZTE Speed bargain phone is not currently in existence, and there are plenty of better alternatives.
Boost Mobile, $ 120 LG, choose F3 4-inch display is older and small, but its 5 megapixel camera takes sharp images. And despite having a dual-core CPU, the device performs fast and smooth. Moreover, 50 percent of the $ 150 price jump from Sharp Aquos crystal speed can be, but it's an 8-megapixel camera, 128GB and a unique design of the bezel to reduce expandable memory.
If you want to expand your options even further, it is also cheaper than other prepaid carriers speed that is capable handsets. Virgin Mobile and Cricket Wireless' HTC Desire LG award 4G LTE $ 80 to 510, and the design of the game faster, more nimble camera and a high-capacity batteries. Indeed, the devices will cost an arm and a leg, and ZTE will not manage to outperform speed.
