Inexpensive model in metal case with fingerprint scanner

This spring, at the International Mobile Congress (MWC 2016) in Barcelona, ​​the Chinese company ZTE introduced two of its new Smartphone Blade V7 and Blade V7 Lite. From the names it is logical to conclude that the models are related to each other, and the prefix "Lite" in the second means "light", or, simply, a simplified version of the first. We will get acquainted with the older model a little later, but for now let's turn our attention to the younger Blade V7 Lite model. Everything is simple with her: she enters the Russian market without much delay, and under her own name. It is worth recalling that its immediate predecessor Blade V6, which we met under the name Blade X7, had several names at once, and was known under different names in different parts of the world. It should also be especially noted that our market was the first where the Blade V7 Lite was launched for sale. The smartphone is inexpensive, and in some ways it is even more interesting than the older model - this, at least, concerns the fingerprint scanner and the front camera with a higher resolution. All other details can be found in our ZTE Blade V7 Lite review.

Contents of delivery

ZTE Blade V7 Lite comes in a small rectangular box made of hard matte cardboard. The box is decorated simply, but neatly, the equipment does not correspond to its volume, there is more free space inside than necessary.

The set consists of a power adapter (maximum output current 1 A), a USB connection cable, a wired stereo headset with in-ear rubber ear pads, a protective film for the screen, a key-clip and a thin book with documentation.

Appearance and usability

ZTE Blade V7 Lite quite logically repeats the design of its immediate predecessor Blade V6 (X7) and is less similar to the older V7 model of its subfamily, although, of course, there are intersections with it. The basis of the outer part of the case is a large metal cover made of aluminum (light aviation, as manufacturers like to call it). The lid is not solid: inserts made of plastic, painted to match the color of the metal, fall on part of the sides and ends, it is in them that all the connectors are installed.

The case of the ZTE Blade V7 Lite does not look more expensive than it actually is, it is quite simple, but the assembly and workmanship do not cause any particular complaints. Due to matte metal surfaces and a very small weight (only about 136 grams!) The medium-sized five-inch device is comfortably held in the hand and does not slip. It is convenient for carrying in any pockets of clothes, the corners are very rounded in terms of not allowing the body of the ZTE Blade V7 Lite to unpleasantly rest against the body.

The practical and, apparently, reliable body of the ZTE Blade V7 Lite is really well held in the hands, and its low weight is almost a record for a five-inch device. There are no glossy smooth surfaces on metal and plastic parts, these parts are not easily soiled. But the front glass, it seems, turned out to be devoid of a grease-repellent coating, since the screen is covered with fingerprints extremely quickly, and they are poorly rubbed off.

Ergonomics is also a little lame: the side buttons here, unlike most modern devices, are distributed on both sides. There is no convenience in this, because when you press one of the buttons, the other fingers of the hand rest against the opposite key and often also press it. You have to dodge and get used to holding the device with a slightly different grip, but why is all this needed? The keys themselves are quite pleasant to the touch, large, protruding, not too hard.

The card slot is located on the right side, the already familiar hybrid slot for two SIM cards or one SIM card plus a microSD memory card is used. Both slots support Nano-SIM, the farm itself is made of metal, it is installed and removed without problems and distortions. Hot swapping of cards is supported.

The front panel is completely covered with 2.5D-glass with sloping edges, the back wall also has rounded edges, but still there is a feeling that the previous Blade V6 (X7) was more sloping and rounded to the touch, here the edges are a little rougher, and the glass rounded less than usual.

There is no LED indicator above the screen; sensors, a front camera and a speaker are standardly located there. The selfie camera, by the way, on the ZTE Blade V7 Lite has its own LED flash, which is quite unusual for a device of such a low level.

The event indicator, however, is here, it is implemented in the form of a ring pulsing with light on the central touch button under the screen. The other two buttons on either side of it are simply marked with dots, so in the settings their purpose can be swapped, and this will not cause visual discomfort.

On the back side there is a main camera module with a single, but rather bright LED flash, as well as a fingerprint scanner. The camera module protrudes beyond the surface, so it is inconvenient to work with the device lying on a hard surface: it sways when touched. However, this does not really matter, since the fingerprint scanner on the lying device still cannot be reached, and without it the smartphone cannot be unlocked. The scanner is responsible for authorizing the owner by fingerprint, not only when unlocking the smartphone, but also when launching applications. It does not always work clearly, but erroneous recognitions are still rare. Touching the scanner does not unlock the smartphone, first you need to turn on the screen, and then touch the scanner area.

The main speaker is located on the back side, but this does not muffle the sound when the phone is on the table, because the grille covering the speaker falls on a slight bevel of the case. There are two gratings, but the sound comes out only through one of them, there are no stereo speakers.

At the bottom, there is a universal Micro-USB connector in the center, which supports connecting third-party devices in USB OTG (USB Host) mode. Nearby you can see the opening of the conversational microphone.

The hole of the second, auxiliary microphone could not be found - perhaps it is not in this smartphone at all. At the top end there was only a lone 3.5 mm jack for connecting headphones.

There are no fasteners for a strap on the case, the connectors are not covered with plugs, the device has not received protection from moisture and dust. As far as colors are concerned, Russian market the device is presented only in one - light gray color.

Screen

ZTE Blade V7 Lite is equipped with an IPS touch display combined with 2.5D glass with sloping edges. The physical dimensions of the screen are 62 × 110 mm, the diagonal is 5 inches, the resolution is 1280 × 720 pixels, the dot density is 294 ppi. The sidewalls around the screen are 4 mm wide, and the top and bottom margins are 16 mm each, the frame is quite wide. The manufacturer painted over the frame around the display in black, so that when the display is off, the display looks like “frameless”, but in reality the device is far from that.

The brightness of the display can be adjusted manually, there is also an automatic adjustment, among the sensors there is an ambient light sensor. Multi-touch technology supports up to 5 simultaneous clicks. When you bring the smartphone to your ear, the screen is locked using the proximity sensor. Double tapping on the glass wakes up the screen, it is also possible to activate it by drawing special characters.

A detailed examination using measuring instruments was carried out by the editor of the sections "Monitors" and "Projectors and TV" Alexey Kudryavtsev. Here is his expert opinion on the screen of the test sample.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface, resistant to scratches. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-glare properties of the screen are better than the screen of the Google Nexus 7 (2013) (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, here is a photo in which a white surface is reflected in the off screens (on the left is Nexus 7, on the right is ZTE Blade V7 Lite, then they can be distinguished by size):

The screen on the ZTE Blade V7 Lite is a bit darker (brightness in photos is 106 versus 114 for the Nexus 7). The ghosting of reflected objects in the ZTE Blade V7 Lite screen is very weak, which indicates that there is no air gap between the screen layers (more specifically, between the outer glass and the LCD matrix surface) (OGS type screen - One Glass Solution). Due to the smaller number of borders (glass/air type) with very different refractive indices, such screens look better in conditions of strong external illumination, but their repair in case of cracked external glass is much more expensive, since the entire screen has to be changed. On the outer surface of the screen there is a special oleophobic (grease-repellent) coating (noticeably worse in efficiency than Nexus 7), so fingerprints are removed a little easier, and appear at a slower rate than in the case of ordinary glass.

With manual brightness control and with a white field displayed in full screen, the maximum brightness value was about 310 cd/m², the minimum was 10 cd/m². The maximum brightness is not high, however, given the excellent anti-reflective properties, readability even on a sunny day outdoors should be at an acceptable level. In complete darkness, the brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. In the presence of automatic brightness control by light sensor (it is located to the right of the front camera eye). In automatic mode, when the ambient light conditions change, the screen brightness both increases and decreases. This function depends on the position of the brightness slider. If it is at 100%, then in complete darkness, the auto-brightness function reduces the brightness to 90 cd / m² (too much), in an artificially lit office (about 400 lux) it sets it to 190 cd / m² (normal), in a very bright environment (corresponds to outdoors on a clear day, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 lux or a little more) the brightness rises to 310 cd / m² (to the maximum - that's right); if the adjustment is about 50%, then the values ​​​​are as follows: 10, 105 and 310 cd / m² (ideal combination); regulator at 0% - 10, 15 and 310 cd / m² (the average value is underestimated, which is logical). It turns out that the auto-brightness function works absolutely adequately and allows the user to some extent customize their work to individual requirements. At any brightness level, there is no significant backlight modulation, so there is no screen flicker.

This smartphone uses an IPS type matrix. Micrographs show a typical IPS subpixel structure:

For comparison, you can see the gallery of microphotographs of screens used in mobile technology.

The screen has good viewing angles without significant color shift even at large deviations of the gaze from the perpendicular to the screen and without inverting shades. For comparison, here are photographs in which the same images are displayed on the screens of ZTE Blade V7 Lite and Nexus 7, while the brightness of the screens was initially set to about 200 cd / m², and the color balance on the camera was forcibly switched to 6500 K. A white field is perpendicular to the screens:

Note the good uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field. And a test picture:

The color balance is slightly different, the color saturation is normal, the picture is a little dark. Now at an angle of about 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the colors have not changed much on both screens, but on the ZTE Blade V7 Lite, the contrast has decreased to a greater extent due to black bleaching and a strong decrease in image brightness. And the white box:

The brightness at an angle of the screens has decreased (at least 5 times, based on the difference in shutter speed), but the ZTE Blade V7 Lite screen is much darker. The black field, when deviated diagonally, is highlighted to an average degree and acquires a red-violet hue. The photos below demonstrate this (the brightness of the white areas in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the screens is the same!):

And from another angle:

With a perpendicular view, the uniformity of the black field is good (here the backlight brightness is set to maximum):

Contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is high - about 1500:1. The response time for the black-white-black transition is 26 ms (14 ms on + 12 ms off). The transition between grayscale 25% and 75% (according to the numerical value of the color) and back in total takes 43 ms. The gamma curve constructed from 32 points with an equal interval according to the numerical value of the shade of gray did not reveal a blockage either in the highlights or in the shadows. The exponent of the approximating power function is 2.25, which is slightly higher than the standard value of 2.2, while the real gamma curve deviates little from the power dependence:

Due to the presence of dynamic adjustment of the brightness of the backlight in accordance with the nature of the output image (brightness tends to decrease on dark images), the resulting dependence of brightness on hue (gamma curve) does not correspond to the gamma curve of a static image, since the measurements were carried out with sequential grayscale output almost full screen. For this reason, we carried out a number of tests - determining contrast and response time, comparing black flare at angles - when displaying special patterns with a constant average brightness, and not monochromatic fields in full screen. Let us show the dependence of brightness (vertical axis) on time when switching from a black field to a white field in half of the screen alternately, while the average brightness does not change and dynamic adjustment of the backlight brightness does not work (graph 50%/50% ). And the same dependence, but with alternate display of fields in full screen (chart 100% ), while the average brightness is already changing and the dynamic adjustment of the backlight brightness is working with might and main:

In general, such a non-switchable brightness correction does nothing but harm, since it reduces the visibility of gradations in the shadows in the case of dark images. In addition, this dynamic adjustment, when displaying any image other than a white field in full screen, significantly underestimates the brightness (which is not too much anyway), which worsens readability in bright light. Note that the adjustment is slow, so at least there are no annoying jumps in backlight brightness.

The color gamut is slightly different from sRGB:

The spectra show that the matrix filters moderately mix the components to each other:

As a result, the colors have more or less natural saturation. The balance of shades on the gray scale is average, since the color temperature is significantly higher than the standard 6500 K, however, the deviation from the black body spectrum (ΔE) is below 10, which is considered an acceptable indicator for a consumer device. At the same time, the color temperature and ΔE change little from shade to shade - this has a positive effect on the visual assessment of color balance. (The darkest areas of the gray scale can be ignored, since the color balance does not matter much there, and the measurement error of color characteristics at low brightness is large.)

This device has a fairly advanced system of profiles and settings, supposedly providing the ability to adjust the color balance, etc. It is called Mira Vision. However, attempts to correct the color balance with its help were unsuccessful, since the correction of the color temperature leads to the fact that the shade of the midtones changes, and the white point almost does not, it looks disgusting.

Let's summarize: the screen has a low maximum brightness, but it has excellent anti-glare properties, so the device can be used at least somehow outdoors even on a sunny summer day. For conditions of complete darkness, you can set a comfortable level of brightness. The mode with automatic brightness adjustment works adequately. The advantages of the screen include the absence of an air gap in the layers of the screen and flicker, as well as a color gamut close to sRGB. Significant disadvantages include a weak oleophobic coating, as well as non-switchable dynamic adjustment of the backlight brightness. Nevertheless, taking into account the importance of the characteristics for this particular class of devices, the screen quality can be considered at least above average.

Sound

The ZTE Blade V7 Lite sounds just as uninteresting as the rest of the Blade series models we've seen so far. Both in the headphones and in the main speaker, the sound is not only faded and colorless, with a predominance of only high frequencies, but also distortion and debris are noticeable. Individual instruments cannot be disassembled, the higher the volume, the higher the background noise. However, it is worth noting this time a rather large margin of volume of the main speaker and its overall sonority, the sound cannot be called deaf.

To play melodies, a regular Google Play Music player is used, and to improve the sound, the same built-in sound system from the French company Arkamys, which was previously present in ZTE Blade smartphones, is used. There are no separate settings in it, there is only the ability to turn this feature on or off as a whole. The regular player has a familiar equalizer with preset values. In conversational dynamics, the interlocutor's speech, timbre and intonation remain recognizable, but the sound is muffled.

There is an FM radio with the ability to record programs from the air in the smartphone, it works only with connected headphones. The built-in voice recorder is not particularly sensitive, there is no noise reduction, and apparently, an auxiliary microphone is not provided here at all.

There is a suspicion that the main 13-megapixel camera here, like in the Blade X7, is equipped with an 8-megapixel sensor, and the maximum resolution is achieved using image interpolation. The lens has an aperture of f/2.0. Autofocus is quite fast, there is no electronic stabilization, video is recorded at a maximum resolution of only up to 720p. The maximum ISO value can be set manually up to 1600, also in manual mode, you can influence the brightness, contrast, sharpness, set the white balance and select the metering point manually. It is impossible to transfer control of camera settings to third-party applications using the Camera2 API, and there is also no possibility of recording pictures in RAW.

The camera can shoot video in maximum resolution up to 720p, there are no 4K and 60 frames / s modes. In general, the camera shoots video at an average level, the image is loose and full of artifacts, while the sound is recorded quite well, although there seems to be no noise reduction system here.

ZTE Blade V7 Lite Apple iPhone 6 Plus

The pictures have good sharpness in plans and across the field, although it drops a little towards the edges. The program works moderately, noise in the shadows can be found - both "cured" and unprocessed. Otherwise, the results are not outstanding at all, slightly above average, so the camera can be recommended for documentary shooting, nothing more.

Telephone part and communications

The smartphone supports most of the 2G GSM, 3G WCDMA, and LTE Cat.4 wireless networks used in Russia. FDD LTE smartphone supports in all three most common bands of Russian operators Band 3, 7 and 20. In practice, with the SIM card of the MTS operator, it was not possible to achieve high speeds in LTE from the device in the same test places where other smartphones demonstrate twice the speed in test program. Full list supported frequencies is as follows:

  • GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
  • WCDMA/HSPA+ networks (850/900/2100 MHz)
  • LTE networks (1800/2100/2300/2600/800/850/900 MHz)

The rest of the network capabilities of the smartphone are also modest: there is no NFC, like Hot Knot; only one Wi-Fi band (2.4 GHz) is supported, there is Wi-Fi Direct, you can organize a wireless access point via Wi-Fi channels or Bluetooth 4.0. The Micro-USB 2.0 connector supports connecting external devices in USB OTG mode.

The navigation module works only with GPS (with A-GPS), the device does not see domestic Glonass satellites. The first satellites during a cold start are detected within a minute. The smartphone is equipped with a magnetic field sensor, on the basis of which the digital compass of navigation programs functions.

The smartphone supports two SIM cards in Dual SIM Dual Standby mode, when both cards can be in active standby mode, but cannot work at the same time - there is only one radio module. A SIM card in any slot can work with 3G / 4G networks, however, only one of the cards can operate in this mode at the same time. To change the assignments of card slots, you do not need to swap places - this can be done directly from the phone menu. You can assign the desired card for calls or SMS in advance in the settings, or using the pop-up menu right during the call, if this has not been done in advance.

OS and software

As a system, the device uses the 32-bit software platform Google Android version 6.0, installed on a 64-bit SoC. There is no own shell here as such, only the external design of the theme has been changed, icons and the navigation bar have been redrawn, and a separate menu for installed applications has been removed. Added extensive support for gestures, including body swipes, screen swipes, and various character inscriptions.

There are not so many pre-installed third-party programs: there is a file manager, an alternative to UC Browser, there is a set of applications for working with office documents WPS Office and the ubiquitous Clean Master. Access to individual applications and even files can be restricted using fingerprint authorization.

Performance

The ZTE Blade V7 Lite hardware platform is based on a quad-core 64-bit single-chip system (SoC) MediaTek MT6735P. The SoC configuration includes four Cortex-A53 processor cores, operating here at a frequency of up to 1 GHz. The Mali-T720 video accelerator is responsible for graphics processing. The amount of RAM is 2 GB, and about 10 GB of internal memory is available for the user's needs in the device. It is possible to install microSD cards up to 32 GB, but in practice our 128 GB Transcend Premium microSDXC UHS-1 test card was confidently recognized by the device. The device also supports connecting external devices to the USB port in OTG mode.

We have studied the capabilities of the MediaTek MT6735 level platform well, this SoC belongs to the entry level, and here the maximum operating frequency of the CPU cores is also reduced to 1 GHz. Accordingly, one should not expect any impressive results in tests from the device. In practice, the capabilities of the MediaTek MT6735P are enough to work confidently in most standard applications, but it is not intended for demanding games. In Modern Combat 5, stuttering took place, the game World of Tanks runs more smoothly (at about 35-38 fps with subsidence to 29 fps). You can play with a strong desire, but you still can’t get high graphics settings with such a screen and such a platform.

Testing in the latest versions of AnTuTu and GeekBench 3 comprehensive benchmarks:

For convenience, we have summarized all the results obtained by us when testing a smartphone in the latest versions of popular benchmarks in tables. Several other devices from different segments are usually added to the table, also tested on similar latest versions of benchmarks (this is done only for a visual assessment of the received dry numbers). Unfortunately, within a single comparison, it is impossible to present the results from different versions benchmarks, so many worthy and relevant models remain “behind the scenes” due to the fact that they once passed the “obstacle course” on previous versions of test programs.

Testing the graphics subsystem in 3DMark gaming tests,GFXBenchmark, and Bonsai Benchmark:

When testing in 3DMark for the highest performing smartphones, it is now possible to run the application in Unlimited mode, where the rendering resolution is fixed at 720p and VSync is disabled (due to which the speed can rise above 60 fps).

Browser cross-platform tests:

As for benchmarks for assessing the speed of the javascript engine, you should always make allowances for the fact that the results in them depend significantly on the browser in which they are launched, so that the comparison can only be truly correct on the same OS and browsers, and this possibility is available when testing not always. In the case of Android OS, we always try to use Google Chrome.

thermal images

Below is a thermal image of the back surface obtained after 10 minutes of running a battery test in the GFXBenchmark program (closer to white - higher temperature):

It can be seen that the heating is a little more localized in the upper left part of the device, which apparently corresponds to the location of the SoC chip. According to the heat chamber, the maximum heating was only 34 degrees (at an ambient temperature of 24 degrees), which is very little.

Video playback

To test the "omnivorous" when playing video (including support for various codecs, containers and special features, such as subtitles), we used the most common formats, which make up the bulk of the content available on the Web. Note that for mobile devices it is important to have support for hardware video decoding at the chip level, since it is most often impossible to process modern versions using processor cores alone. Also, you should not expect everything from a mobile device to decode everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to the PC, and no one is going to challenge it. All results are summarized in a table.

According to the test results, the test subject was not equipped with all the necessary decoders that are needed for the full playback of most of the most common multimedia files on the network, in this case, sound ones. To successfully play them, you will have to resort to the help of a third-party player - for example, MX Player. True, it is also necessary to change the settings in it and manually install additional custom codecs, because now this player does not officially support the AC3 audio format.

BDRip 1080p MKV, H.264 1920×1080, 24fps, AC3 video plays fine, no sound video plays fine, no sound

Further testing of video playback performed Alexey Kudryavtsev.

We did not find the MHL interface, as well as Mobility DisplayPort, in this smartphone, so we had to limit ourselves to testing the output of video files on the screen of the device itself. To do this, we used a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle moving one division per frame (see “Methodology for testing video signal playback and display devices. Version 1 (for mobile devices) Red marks indicate possible problems associated with playback of the corresponding files.

According to the criterion for displaying frames, the quality of video files playback on the screen of the smartphone itself is good, since frames (or groups of frames) can (but are not required) to be displayed with more or less uniform alternation of intervals and almost without frame drops. Except for files with 60 fps in which case a lot of frames are skipped. The reason is an atypically low screen refresh rate of approximately 49.5 Hz, so even files with 50 fps are played either with a periodic skip of one frame, or a little slower. When playing video files with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels (720p) on a smartphone screen, the image of the video file itself is displayed exactly along the border of the screen, one to one in pixels, that is, in its original resolution. The brightness range displayed on the screen corresponds to the standard range of 16-235 - all gradations of shades are displayed in the shadows and in the highlights.

Battery life

The non-removable battery installed in the ZTE Blade V7 Lite has a capacity of 2500 mAh. In the absence of a productive platform or a high-resolution energy-intensive screen, the smartphone, as expected, demonstrates pretty good autonomy results. But you need to be aware that this is achieved due to low performance and low graphics settings, the device is weak in multimedia tasks. The smartphone quietly survives until evening charging, in general, it can last about a day and a half under normal operation. There is an energy-saving mode in the smartphone, but testing, as usual, was carried out without using such functions.

Continuous reading in the Moon + Reader program (with a standard, light theme) at the minimum comfortable brightness level (brightness was set to 100 cd / m²) with auto scrolling lasted until the battery was completely discharged a little less than 13.5 hours, and with continuous viewing of video in high quality (720p) with the same brightness level through home network Wi-Fi device almost reached the 9 o'clock mark. In 3D gaming mode, the smartphone worked for more than 5.5 hours.

The smartphone battery is fully charged from the standard network adapter in about three hours with a current of 0.9 A at a voltage of 5 V.

Outcome

ZTE Blade V7 Lite, as already mentioned at the very beginning, first went on sale in the Russian market. Here it is priced at official retail at 14 thousand rubles (but you can find offers from 11 thousand). In principle, against the background of the price tags of modern top-end smartphones, such a cost cannot be called high. However, this is not at all the case when we can say that a smartphone is extremely interesting to purchase at this price. No, the ZTE Blade V7 Lite is a rather modest device in terms of all technical parameters and capabilities with a weak or at best average screen, cameras, sound, performance, and communication capabilities. The smartphone did not even shine with the level of autonomy, although in general “hardy” budget devices with low performance (precisely due to this low performance) are not uncommon.

What really cannot be taken away from the ZTE Blade V7 Lite is the body that is pleasant to the touch and practical to use, mostly made of metal. Also, one of the advantages of the model is the presence of a fingerprint scanner, which is extremely useful for people who care about the safety of personal data. But on this, in general, all the pluses end. ZTE Blade V7 Lite is a real workhorse without a hint of multimedia focus. This is a low-performance, but reliable smart phone of a large industrial giant of the industry, officially presented with us, and therefore supported by warranty conditions, which is also important.

How to update the software?

We provide you with different ways to update the software, namely: update using a memory card or update "over the air".

To update "over the air" you need to connect to a wireless network Wi-Fi or GSM Internet connection and check for updates in the settings.

What should I do if the operating time of the device does not match the operating time declared by the manufacturer?

A smartphone is a complex electronic device that includes the functions of a pocket computer and cell phone and consumes a lot of power to operate these functions. The main amount of energy is spent on the operation of the display module and the GSM transceiver path. Display brightness is automatically set to maximum in very bright environments (sunny day) or set manually by the user. Maximum brightness consumes maximum power. During GSM operation and with stable and stable reception "at the maximum", the device consumes the minimum amount of energy to maintain communication. If the network signal is unstable and weak, the machine needs more power to maintain communication. In the case of "Network Search" in the network absence area, the device consumes the maximum amount of energy that is spent on searching for the nearest base stations. To reduce the energy consumed by the phone, you need:

1. Disable GPS if not required.

2. Disable mobile internet if not needed.

3. Disable or remove unnecessary unused applications, because. they are active and consume the internal resources of the device.

What should I do if the phone freezes, does not turn on or reboots?

The reason for the reboot or freeze in most cases is third-party software or programs.

1. Initially, we recommend that you restore the factory default settings (after saving the information you need). If the phone turns on, select the "factory reset" function in the device menu. If the device does not turn on, turn on the device in "Recovery mode" and select "wipe data / factory reset". The method of switching to "Recovery mode" is described below in the paragraph "How to enter Recovery mode?".

2. If factory reset does not help, update the software. The ways to update the software are described in "How to update the software?".

3. If the software update fails, contact your nearest ZTE Authorized Service Center.

How to backup data, notebook or "Back up"?

There are 3 ways to make a "backup":

1. In the phone settings, in the "Backup and Reset" submenu, check the box for recovery.

2. You can transfer the necessary information to your computer using a USB cable.

3. You can make a "back up" using a third party program.

What should I do if I do not remember the password or pattern to unlock the screen?

"Settings->Wireless networks->More" Modem mode - check the USB modem box. "Then the phone will start distributing the Internet to the computer. To stop the distribution, uncheck the USB modem or simply disconnect the cable connection.

2. WiFi router - make sure you have a stable internet connection via mobile network or USB. "Settings->Wireless networks->More" Modem mode - check the box "WiFI access point". To secure your wireless connection, click on the hotspot icon, then click "WiFi Hotspot". In this menu, you can set a name and password for your wireless WiFi connection. Your phone will start working as a WiFi router. To stop the distribution, uncheck "WiFi router"

How can I quickly see the charging status?

While charging, press the power button. The battery charge status will be shown on the phone's main screen.

Why is the amount of free memory of the device less than stated by the manufacturer?

Unlike the processor, which has its own built-in memory, other devices, such as a video processor, an audio processor, and other devices included in the element base of the device's central board, consume user memory resources. Some amount of memory is pre-reserved for internal needs, but in case of overflow, user memory is used.

What types of machine lock can be used?

There are 3 types of screen lock. Select one of the lock types in Settings -> Security -> Screen lock.

1. Pattern lock

2.PIN lock 3.Password lock

What is the operating temperature of ZTE phones?

The operating temperature is in the range from (-10C) to (+50C).
