Bro had the Orange Monte Carlo - was still using it regularly up until few months ago when the battery just wouldn't hold a reasonable charge and it was reluctantly retired. Just can't get that preferable wide screen ratio now :disappointed:

Fingerprint sensors are so overrated. Specs aren't bad for the price though but there are alternatives with better processors and bigger and better screens (Smart Ultra 6 which is also made by ZTE and is less than £101 unlocked with a top up)

Nice phone in flesh much better design than su6 such as metal body but as others have said not ground breaking price point.

The San Francisco was a rebranded version of an earlier iteration of the ZTE Blade back in the day. Was a total bargain for the spec thanks to deals on here, and opened my eyes to smartphones.

Processor absolutely kills this. I reckon this will be pretty frustrating to use on a daily basis.

it will be really ok for daily use. just don't overload with havy multitasks and you are good
I've always found ZTE made very decent, reasonably priced phones. if take a ZTE over any of the "off brand" Chinese phones. In fact, I'm typing this on a ZTE Zmax2.... :wink:
