Gives a great deal of trouble though its a great phone. The music app keeps closing as soon as its opened, and the speakers fry easily. It is a good phone other than that tho

Carmanen, 24 Mar 2016Too bad ZTE is crappy when it comes to updates so probably ... moreI won't trust ZTE anymore until they start a decent support of all their mid to high range devices. Support of Blade S6 has been too much disappointing. Phone is stuck with lollipop 5.0.2 with its bugs and security flaws.

Too bad ZTE is crappy when it comes to updates so probably no Marshmallow update for this model... ...ZTE only supports their high end Axon line-up :/

2 disadvantages...First the lowrange volume of the radio (speakers and hands free) and second and most serious the low life of battery after charging lasts no more than 10 hours..

I have the Australian version of the phone and I've been using it heavily as my main phone for a few months.
The build quality isn't great. The glass is just glass, no resistance or anything fancy. The body is plastic, but sturdy. Overall,ive dropped it a fair bit, but the only notable damage is a tiny scratch on the glass and a scratch on the top corner of the device.
The software is great, but a restart every month is recommended. The Australian version runs on stock Android lollipop 5.0.2 with an alternate icon pack. Unlike other releases of the Blade S6, the Australian version has an app drawer. It comes pre-loaded with a few apps such as camera360, Clean Master, TouchPal and so on.
All software I've used has been smooth and snappy, that includes graphically demanding apps and apps you would typically expect to only be able to use on a high end phone. So you will have no worries playing around with this device if your a techie.
The battery lasts me all day on standard use, with 40-30% battery left in the afternoon. So you can comfortably use the device without worrying about battery life, as long as you put it on charge of a night. Although, the device can get hot if you have a lot of processes running while charging. The battery also isn't removable, if that bothers you. The device never crashed on me though, and I threw some pretty heavy software at it so the battery issue didn't bother me.
The 13mega pixel back camera does not work well under low light conditions, but works pretty good in well lit areas. It'll do fine for posting on instagram and what not. Notably though sometimes images can look a little pastely. The back facing camera also uses a special lense built for "groupies" so the images will fit more in. I haven't ever used the front facing camera though.
Connectivity was great, it loaded web pages and videos quickly. I did have issues with the dual sim tray every now and then, but that was fixed in a few second by just sliding it out and in again.
Sound out put is average,the speakers at the back and has a small bump next to it to improve sound when the phones laying down. I don't know if that actually works but it's a nice gesture.
Call audio quality was clear and load enough.
Gaming ran smoothly and fast, a few (very few) heavy games took some time to load though. I've only had two crashes so far.
I didn't test sound recording.
The gimicy gestures work, if you want to look like an idiot performing them.
The display is near HD but not quite.you wouldn't question it though, it looks HD and everything is smooth.
Multitasking is probably the most impressive thing, along side the overall speed.
Storage is expendable and can hold more then the recommend size of 64gb.
The device looks, feels and overall handles like a high end phone the bevelled edges make it easy to hold the navigation buttons look awesome. It's speed is competitive with high end devices and in all honest opinion was actually faster in most cases then the iPhone 6. For its price, if your willing to buy a phone case and screen protector is one of the better choices for a budget phone.

For price it's a good phone seen few saying bloatware is to much I never noticed it I added custom launcher (ubuntu) also needed as phone has no app draw that I could find. I then added avast ran remove bloatware function and it's a happy phone now. and yes it run fast/ smooth it's not a Samsung s6 is best thing to it.
Phone last me a day and half on basic use full day on heavy call use as for gaming I have no idea on power use I don't play mobile games myself.

AnonD-481541, 28 Dec 2015Let's face it folks: I bought an expensive brick here..
Th... more(continued) .. is only 7.51 Gb (sd), while internal is 7.71 Gb, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR SD CARD SIZE IS. Sounds more like an internal partition to me, to hide SD card inability.. On top, it does not allow you to copy to SD card or create any files on it, which confirms suspicion on inability.
4. Headset plugin: non-existent, most of the time. Neither a headphone, nor aux-out into car radio. So no solution to bypass regular phone sound issue either.
5. I will not even start about other issues, such as material (most slippery phone ever in my average size male hands, impossible to hold in one hand, unless with extra sleeve) or weird button choice (right button press brings up some color scheme you'll never use, ever, so you'll have to long-press to see menu of open apps, which gets really annoying) or the overall annoyance of much worse swiping precision than my Nexus4 was, which had much lower specs.
"All else" works fine..
All in all, if you buy a phone that you can't phone with, not use it for navigation and cannot use it with a headset, then it's time to wonder what you spent hundreds of euros on. And which was far too expensive to throw away and move on to something that actually works.
