Should i get the zte warp




















My fingers flew across it, banging out messages quickly using the suggested text function. You also can select the basic Android keyboard, which is practically identical but with a black background and square keys.

Above the display is a silver earpiece speaker, but the lack of a front-facing camera means that video chat is out of the question. There's also a notification light, something that's becoming a rarity on today's devices.

Otherwise, ZTE keeps physical key options to a minimum. On the right side are a Micro-USB port and a dedicated camera button, on the top are a small black power key and a 3. I found all keys to be within easy reach and especially liked how the volume bar is scalloped to indicate up and down.

Around the back are the Warp's 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and the main speaker. Removing the textured battery cover, which is thin and unnervingly flexible, reveals the phone's big 1,mAh battery.

Features The ZTE Warp offers a very bare-bones Android experience, which I think is extremely refreshing in these days of custom skins and irremovable bloatware. While not Google's latest and greatest Ice Cream Sandwich version of the operating system, the phone's OS is a respectable Gingerbread 2. There are the five standard home screens that you can populate with widgets and favorite application shortcuts, and the device links to the Android Market for Google's library of music, books, movies, and more than , apps.

You'll also find the basic multimedia players for music and video here, a My Files app for sifting through the Warp's data directory, and a few helpful utilities like an alarm clock, stopwatch, and voice recorder. Plus, there's Boost Mobile's BoostZone app for checking your account balance, adding extra funds, and downloading suggested software. The only attempt to tweak the interface is a Mobile ID feature, ported from Sprint, which is Boost Mobile's parent company. With Mobile ID you can download a number of themes for the Warp, including MTV, Socially Connected, and Professional, built around differing wallpapers and apps supposedly tailored to match them.

It's a waste of time since a huge draw of Android is having the freedom to tweak your phone to your liking, not someone else's.

Equipped with a mediocre 5-megapixel camera, the ZTE Warp takes passable pictures in a pinch, but it won't blow anyone away with its image quality. Colors in my test shots were washed out and details were fuzzy, and the autofocus takes a long 2 seconds or so to lock on to subjects. The Warp's LED flash didn't blow out people or objects in the foreground, but it did paint them with a bluish hue in low-light conditions. Music randomly turns on, freezes every half hour, and randomly shuts do It's a terrible phone and shuts off by itself all the time!

The speaker and camera are no good either. I hate it. The operating system is way out of due and you can't take screenshots either. I just brought this phone, love it but only problem is after downloading two apps it says memory full.

Is there a way I can change it so all downloads are saved to my sd card instead? I had to get a battery charger,, the one where you have to take your entire battery out and charge it separately which eventually stopped working also Brand name: Kata V3 or Venus 3 Processor: 1. It was working fine until last week These include all the usual suspects such as Gmail, Google Search, the Google Play digital storefronts for music, video, and books, plus the Chrome mobile browser.

The Warp also links to the Google Play store to download apps from its wide selection of third-party software developers. Picture sizes range from VGA resolution x all the way up to 8 megapixels 3,x2, There are also manual settings for white balance, ISO, along with exposure, contrast, and saturation. In bright sunlight, the Warp 4G snapped pictures quickly in under a second and the orange, yellows, and greens of fall foliage was vividly captured.

The Warp was swift enough to nab shots of fidgety kids. I noticed that my indoor still-life shots were dark and had murky details.

Performance With a scintillating moniker like the Boost Warp 4G, you might expect this smartphone to offer blazing application performance. As a result, the Warp 4G stumbled through benchmark testing, notching a low Quadrant score of 4, ZTE says that the Warp 4G features noise-canceling technology from Qualcomm, the folks behind the ubiquitous Snapdragon processors.

Indeed on my test calls, the people I spoke to reported that my voice came through loud and clear. As a matter of fact, I clocked swift data throughput on the phone, with the Warp sucking down bits at an average of Upload speeds were nimble as well, reaching an average of 4.

The result is that the handset demonstrated impressive battery life on the CNET Labs video battery drain benchmark.
