Let's face it folks: I bought an expensive brick here..
The issues are all the same and the after -sales service people are sitting 24h on the forums to post anonymous praises and deceiving replies on its major flaws. My first Blade was a good one, but this one failed big time.
So I advice all future users to give this one a wide gap and spend your buck on a decent phone, one where at least the TELEPHONE function works!
So here's the list and the misleading advice. I can't speak for any "versions" (Asian vs European, etc.) as I live in Europe and received an Asian one via a legal dealer, so pretty much the "safest" channel.
1. Phone "quality": for unexplained reasons, the other side of the line will not simply not hear you every fourth call or so or during the call itself suddenly. This does NOT have to do with putting it to your ear, as some claim. What does work (half of the time) is switching to speaker phone and/or back to regular mic. Sometimes.
This basically ruins the phone already as your friends and family will stop enjoying phoning you, each conversation becoming a comedy. Not kidding.
2. I use GPS a lot for navigation and sports tracking. Major fail here: unless you switch the GPS on well before you leave and put it in the open, it can take up to half an hour before it switches on! But don't worry: even if it does in 5 minutes, it can fail you at ANY time underway. I never had any such issues with my previous 5 or so GPS phones, even the cheapest ones.
As for sports, even being outdoors fully, it sometimes decides to make a blur out of a straight ride on the bike, as it searches for the best signals. Result: seems as if I rode about twice as much, which makes proper training evaluation impossible.
3. Storage: for some reason, my SD card cannot be copied to. It shows also as if storage

My Blade S6 mobile data ain't working. I can only use Wi-Fi for internet. Sim slot one can't do anything but sim slot two only can receive calls and messages but no mobile data. If I wanna use internet I use Wi-Fi. Was it built like that?

The instructions state do not use nano sims that are obtained be separating them from larger sims even if they are called nano sims. The amaysim card I used was a dedicated nanosim - it was not from a lager sim. Hope this helps

Charlie Baby, 14 Oct 2015It needs to have a Marshmallow UpdateWe will see if it gets it because ZTE is releasing now a Blade S7. That will show how much ZTE cares about their phones support.
