A happy Friday the 13th to everyone reading this blog, I hope you all are doing well and ready for the weekend. Earlier this week on my YouTube channel I unboxed my brand new phone the ZTE Warp on the Boost Mobile prepaid network during my unboxing I promised to give a full review on my blog and YouTube channel so here it is!
Oh! I almost forgot for those of you wondering, I did have the Motorola Triumph for some time, another great phone offered for Virgin Mobile service, unfortunately my phone died in fact it will not even power on so I knew I had to make a decision on a new phone, It’s been some time since I’ve bought a phone or gotten one for review purposes but that has all changed. With all the smart phones out on the market it was very hard to decide between them but the ZTE Warp stands out for me because of the 4.30 inch touch screen and the fast processor 1000 MHz.
So a little about this phone the ZTE Warp is an Android device running Android 2.3.5 with a Capacitive, Multi touch screen and a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash with included camcorder option. For all those tech nerdy people like I the phone is running a system chip of a Snapdragon with a single core processor 1000 MHz as mentioned above. The system memory is a whopping 512 MB internal and supports Micro SD cards.
So with them specs out of the way lets discuss my thoughts , I’ve nearly had this phone a month and there’s both good and bad things lets discuss the good first. The large touch screen stands out greatly it’s probably one of the biggest advantages this phone has to others it makes reading emails, playing games on screen keyboard typing and much more easier to do and its very responsive. I also enjoy the face it has the 512 MB of system memory I have 73 applications installed and it has hardly took up any memory this phone could definitely hold hundreds of applications and even with the applications installed games, social networking, live wallpapers there is no sluggish behavior or problems with it slowing the processor down! I would also like to talk about some included hardware added to this phone such as the option to record incoming or outgoing calls. Many people try to find applications for their phone to make records of calls so they can hear both parties this phone can do it easily with just the touch of a button while in a call simply hitting the menu key and record will start that process! Also added on this phone is the option for speed dial, I’ve missed that greatly being able to hit a 2 or 3 and connect to someone makes it more convent then looking in recent call logs and searching for the number.
On to the negative I have experienced some flaws with this phone, but all my years reviewing phones I’ve never got a perfect device keep that in mind, no technology is perfect. My main gripe for the ZTE Warp is occasionally about twice during the day the phone will reset on its own it doesn’t seem like a full reset because it doesn’t shut off completely and restart in the middle of nowhere the Boost Mobile Logo will appear and it will go to the home screen, I’ve read about others also experiencing this issue of resetting although restarting twice a day isn’t a deal breaker I do hope in the future the ZTE or boost will put out a patch or update to fix whatever causes this problem. The 5MP camera is another fault picture quality isn’t always great some are grainy and the flash doesn’t work properly in my opinion these are my problems that I’ve experienced and as stated earlier, there definitely not enough for me to take the phone back I only wish ZTE would fix the restarting issue.
I would definitely recommend this phone to a friend or family member its plus’s outweigh its minus, Call quality was great, texting fine and I think Boost Mobile has a great service, I’ve officially been with them now for 2 months and there a lot like Virgin, running on the Sprint network. Below I will leave some photos taken with the 5MP camera I hope this review helped if you’re trying to decide on the Warp for a new phone.
