ZTE Supreme

Let me preface my "rant" by saying that I read reviews with skepticism. There are outliers that are emotionally ecstatic and disgruntled that need to be ignored. I promise you that this review is coming from a 5-6 year user of Virgin Mobile.

When I bought this phone, I was under the impression I was getting a tremendous deal through Virgin Mobile. The size of the phone, and the cost of the plan were great, and I was invested enough to get a thick case w/ kickstand, and insurance "Just in case."

Month 1-2, the phone is the shiny attractive object that fulfills all of my 4G, gaming, video streaming needs.

Month 3, the phone started bugging out and restarting, no doubt because of the price of the hardware...no matter, you get what you pay for.

Month 4, the phone fell 2 feet from my lap to the floor, with the case on, and the corner of the screen cracked. This is important to note because the screen is MADE OF GLASS. And once the glass cracks, the entire effected area becomes unusable....One large deductible later, I have a second phone, refurbished.

Month 5 - 11 Still bugs out and lags and restarts due to intolerance to graphic demands.

Month 12, the phone, through use and time in my pocket, cracked along the bottom of the screen. Once again rendering it useless.

My advise to you? Anticipate the high price of low cost, assume insurance costs and a minimum of 1 replacement phone within 12 months. Include this in with your plan, and compare the bottom line to other carriers. I was paying $88 a month for bad signal and a shotty phone.

Virgin Mobile selling phones like this is a clear signal to me to look elsewhere.

After reading the other reviews, I wonder if they have the same phone or if they just use it to text with?? Thiss phone is a overpriced paperweight! It comes with Real Racing 3, but when you attempt to play it you will be kicked back to home(that's after the literal week it takes to download). Yes, you read that right it comes on the phone, but you are required to download to play??? Next I want to mention what both Virgin and ZTE don't want you to know, if you are connected to WiFiyou will not receive text or msm. I want to share with you that this phone lags horrifically, I play clash of clans, this phone regularly shutsdown while on clash. The voice to text and maps regularly stop working. At first I thought I had a faulty phone and had it replaced, only to have ALL the same issues, and to be informed that's how this phone works and that ZTE won't let them tell you that you can only be on mobile network or WiFi. Finally if you like being frustrated and cussing your phone, then run out and get this piece of garbage, but I'm here to tell you beware be warned buy any phone except the ZTE supreme.

Good phone fast and reliable. Nice display. Outpreforms my Samsung by a lot. Some bugs but what phone is without some! For 100.00 was the best deal outthere without a contract! To bad Sprint is the worst carrier. Does no justice to the phone.
