[@wallsmartsme]

On my second ZTE Max Pro phone. I dropped my first ZTE Max Pro over a few hundred times. The Google Assistant feature is cool. I've noticed that it can be so sensitive that it will pick up people talking thinking I am searching for something. Fantastic phone. Best phone I've ever had. No other phone comes close. Great video as always.

I've had the ZMAX Pro for nearly a year now. And I have to say, it's still working great just like the day I bought it. Doesn't give me any problems at all. I find it kinda funny when my wife asks to use my phone and she tells me how she likes how it feels and moves. Note she is a iPhone 7+ user lol. What game was that, the one you were playing?

[@PaulTech-Reviews]

+Juan Abernathy That's great to hear your Zmax Pro is running like a champ even a year later. Yeah my wife has the iPhone 6+ and same thing she will use my phone and be like wow how do customize your phone like that and I can't..lol.. Also The game I was playing was Asphalt 8 off the Google play store. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍✌

[@LivinClean-p9e]

Bought mine when it came out at Metro PCS for $99 and still have it 3 years later with no problems to mention since buying it. To me it's a poor man's inexpensive big phone without spending the $$$ of an expensive Samsung or iPhone. I do have the $$$ for a top of the line phone but can't bring myself to part with something that works and works well. It still charges to 100% and gives me a full day of use. I learned years ago if it ain't broken don't fix it.

I've been using mine for a good 10 months now and, despite a couple bugs and a slight charging issue a few months ago, it has worked like a dream and I love the phone. Oh by the way, how did you get it to where you just swipe up and now you're at the apps section?

[@loumason6120]

@Benjamin Personally i say the ZMax Pro IS STILL a Great phone in 2019...It's the best budget phone Metropcs ever sold, i got mine in Dec, 2016 and it still blows away $200 phones...my screen has a crack but still works great, however, i don't want to risk it getting anymore damaged so i got the Moto E5 plus for FREE at Metro. Thats a nice replacement.

[@monj5492]

I love the specs and the speed for the price, but the batch of Zmax Pros at my local MetroPCS dealer is full of drained batteries. I have to return my phone because it keeps dying fast, and also is dying at random times. It especially dies while I'm recording long audio lectures in class, which has corrupted a few of my audio files.

[@cecilkelly628]

My ZMAX Pro started have major screen glitches within the first 2 months of using it. Now, a little over a year in, I can barley scroll through instagram or twitter for 30 seconds before it closes the app. It will also reboot at random times even when no apps are open and the phone is at rest. It takes me 4-5 clicks on the power button to turn it on. I slapped a screen protector and a sturdy case on this phone the MOMENT I got it and I have been very delicate with it. everyone in the comments loves it though? I am left wondering if i am cursed. Is it just me?

[@EmmanuelHernandez-C]

Bought this phone a year ago in December 2016. Was doing well for 8 months. Hit November, it could barely a charge. By December I would have to leave it off and let it charge for 10+ hrs to only get 50% battery. At the time of writing this, mid-January it is essentially dead. It shows that it "charges", blinking light, but after checking overnight. It says 0% battery. Warranty expired... time to go a cheaper phone to not worry about paying $100+ for a phone.

Man... I HATE mine!! While I agree the camera is very good. AND this phone was free. I don't like that I have to add a operate app to give me notification bubbles for my mail etc... the bluetooth connecting is TERRIBLE! Apps continually crash while I'm using them or they won't work properly or run AMAZING slow. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme nor reason to it. I have to reboot a lot. I don't like Instagram won't stay linked to my business Facebook page. Pandora closes or stops working. The weather app just is terrible and won't update on the notification page. Not a huge fan of Sheets, or Docs, or Calendar, they just seem limited to me. The email app that comes with it is frustrating to use. The auto correct drives me nuts. I'm glad it was free phone or I'd REALLY be bummed.

[@philj.6887]

Rex Landings I would suggest an iPhone I had this phone, went to a 5s then a 6s plus then gave the 6s plus to my lil sister and went back to this one. I loved the 6s plus no lags, very fast, battery life depends on how much you use it and how long you charge it, I loved it but I'm not into phones like I used to be and it waspre important to her than me so I gave it away but would recommend it for anyone. It lives up to the hype and you wouldn't run into any of those issues at all
