My boyfriend and I have been five year customers of straight talk and paid the $45 plan for each phone. The phones were cheap and limited.
We went to MetroPCS and bought two ZTE Max Blade phones and bundled them onto an unlimited everything plan and only pay $80. And I also pic the due date of my bill.
After 3 months I'm still loving it! I use it for everything! I hooked it up to my TV and watch videos from it, I also teather it and we run our laptop's all day!
The cameras are so clear and the sound quality is perfect.
I love mine so much I bought one for my daughter and put hers on my plan which made it $10. Cheaper! Now I pay $70. For 3 phones all unlimited everything and never lost signal.
The screen is alot bigger and takes some getting used to and it's hard to find holders for car use ohh and the charging port is a different size from my old phone. But it charges fast and lasts so much longer than my old phone. I put a 32 SD card in it and store videos and pics like crazy with no problems.
I love my phone and think it will las me for a long time without needing to upgrade.

Have had it lest than a month. Sometimes it recognizes my memory card, sometimes it dosen't. Having repeated issues with Camera, Play Store, Music Folder, File Manager, plus various other apps not opening/working at all. Just get black screen and eventually after about 5 minutes or so will get the message that that specific app has stopped working. Restarting the phone does not solve the problem nor does shutting down the individual apps. Would be a good phone if it actually worked consistently. I've been staring at a black screen again now for the past 5 minutes where it should be running my camera.

Just got this phone on the MetroPCS Unlimited Data Plan and it's the best phone I've ever purchased at a $100 price point, it's great. The performance, battery, camera (even in low light) are all great.. only real limitation is the 2GB of ram, but that's not bad either. It's one of the cheapest phones with Gyro (for 360 video and Phone VR), Good GPS.. and it has excellent build quality. I would recommend.
One correction to the moderator however: the phone does have an FM Radio built-in and comes with a radio app... I disabled all networks (Cellular & WiFi) and it works great on the phone. Just food for thought GSMArena and I would put in an update or recommendation but I don't know how.
To all those not on MetroPCS, it be a great time to get 4 lines at unlimited data rates for $100 a month ($25 per line) and with their current special get up-to 4 free phones (I'd recommend this one, it's the best one they carry). It's not a plug, just a crazy good deal.. and they will also unlock a phone for any other service after 3 months..
Thanks

Anonymous, 09 Oct 2017Can you use this phone with straight talk?To use it properly with Straight Talk you'd need to have it unlocked and then buy a Straight Talk SIM that uses the T-Mobile network.

Good phone. I had mine for 2 weeks now. It does everything I need it to do and more. snappy speed. Streams videos flawlessly. Excellent battery life. I have had no issues with apps closing. The only thing I can knock it for is the low load speaker on the back but I use a bluetooth speaker most time anyway. Totally worth the price!

Have had this phone for a month now. Excellent battery life and quick charge (better than other QC2 phones I've had in the past), good screen quality, mediocre camera (especially in less than perfect lighting), terribly weak loudspeaker in the back (almost unusable outdoors), low Ram(closes most apps instantly when app switching, especially annoying with chrome and Maps) but I can live with it

I absolutely LOVE this ZTE phone. It's big, it's powerful, fast charging and slow draining. I can use my phone ALL day and still have 30% left. The camera is what sold me. I can take photography grade pics with this amazing phone. It's definitely a great phone that's a budget buy .

i bought my ZTE Blade Z Max almost a month ago. I am very please with it. For the price you can't beat it. Wondering if you put a 32 Gig. memory card in it. Can it be used as an internal card and can you transfer apps on the memory card. Love the phone.
