I have had this phone for as long as it has been out, and like you, my battery is deteriorating. However, this is normal for any phone, as over 2 years, the battery will have lost 30% or more of its original charge. You can buy a new battery on Ebay, Alibaba, or TaoBao for under $15 and swap it out yourself. This should give you a much better battery life.

Ive had this phone for a couple years. The battery is very bad. It wont last not even till noon.
You cant change it. So this phone which I expected and belived the supposed long batter life, doesn't last more done a few hours.
someone had this issues too?

Go to androidsage and download oreo for A2017G European version. The update will work only from SD. Everything ok camera is super, battery life is the same almost one day. Good luck

Got this for about £185 about a year ago, not regretting the purchase. Coming from an 8 core A53 chip previously (Snapdragon 615) to a 4 core Kryo CPU (Snapdragon 820) on the Axon 7, this was so much faster. It handles everything I throw at it without slowing down, and usually lasts 36 hours on one charge. Nova launcher is a good choice with this phone as the default isn't great. MIUI is a bit different to stock Android but you can get custom ROMs if you really hate it. The phone has its downsides but for the price now it's better than most you could get (like the Axon 7 Mini, shameless cash-in on brand name).
It seems that after this generation of phones came out, 8 cores became the high-end standard with SD835/845. Do we actually use that much processing power multi-tasking on a phone, or was it just a marketing move to keep prices high with only modest gains in single-threaded performance? Even the budget high-end seems to have moved up a couple hundred in price over the last year.

The screen is most definitely not poor quality, this is a garbage opinion a minority of people have claimed. one of the better ones I’ve seen particularly factoring in its price. The issues or issue of note is the maximum brightness output is decidedly average giving it not so great sunlight legibility. It suffers the rainbow effect on an angle yet all AMOLED screens appear to have this or the blue shift to some degree.

It's a Samsung AMOLED panel from a couple of generations back. It's not as good as the S8 or S9 screen, but it's the best screen ever on a 300 dollar phone. At extreme angles there's a little green and orange color shifting but it's fleeting and doesn't encompass the entire image.

The other party not hearing you is due to a bug somewhere, if they cannot hear you, hit the speakerphone button twice to switch to and from speakerphone and it should work properly.

Moved from a xiaomi 3s to this phone. Excited about the specs.
First impressions we're ok... but the build quality did not impressions me.
3 months later... The screen is scratched to heck and the receiver cuts out intermittently .. people can't hear me on the phone call 2 seconds after I've made a phone call where it works. Would never buy a ZTE again. Went back to. Moto x4 and couldn't be happier.
