ZTE Warp Sync

ZTE Warp Sync
ZTE has done a good job of establishing itself as a source of value-driven smartphone. That is quite true to Boost Mobile, where you will find more ZTE-branded phones than any other carrier. While ZTE Speed ​​$ 39.00 on Amazon is a forgettable failure in the lineup this year, hitting $ 149.99 Warp synchronization good balance between features, performance, and price. This utilitarian priced alternative to equal Sharp Aquos Crystal $ 128.99 on Amazon, offer slightly better battery life and call quality in exchange for a much cheaper design.

Design, Features, and Quality Call
Warp Sync is a rounded blob of soft-touch plastic, nor slim lightweight at 5.6 by 2.9 by 0.4 inches (HWD) and 5.75 ounces. Dated capacitive navigation buttons and a poor, micro USB port side-mounted accentuate the poor design choices here. Back peels off to reveal a removable 2,300mAh battery, as well as the SIM and microSD card slot.

The 5-inch, 720p LCD easily trumps $ 79.99 Amazon smaller display the LG Volt in both resolution and quality. Viewing angles are wide, look vivid color, and contrast is excellent for an LCD panel. It is a high-quality display, but it can not match the magic of bezel-free design Sharp's Aquos.

Warp Sync connects to Sprint's 3G CMDA (800/850 / 1900MHz) and 4G LTE (850/1900 / 2500MHz) network, which means fast mobile speeds if you happen to be counted under the limited scope Sprint LTE that. In my tests, call quality is not particularly strong, but the earpiece overcome traditional unorthodox system that Crystal Aquos. I was able to hear the caller clearly moderately strong outdoor settings, although vocal sound of hitting treble-heavy for my taste. Shipping via mic is kept in my test, but I saw occasional clipping at the beginning or end of the phrase. Noise cancellation is only average, while the back-ported speakerphone is loud, but no tone on both ends.

Rounding out the options the 802.11b / g / n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS.

Performance and Android
May all-too-common Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC 400, clocked at 1.2GHz with 2GB RAM, performance figures yield some surprises for Warp Sync. This is the same basic setup we've seen countless Android smartphone for the past year, but the 2GB RAM is more abundant than 1.5GB of Aquos Crystal. I did not notice any real performance advantage when jumping between apps at once, and like every other Snapdragon 400 devices, the Warp Sync rarely feels underpowered unless simulate firing up graphically intensive games. Performance before suffering a bit when compared to phones like LG volt, with a lower resolution display.
