Your're wasting your time with sam, he's the village idiot on this site.

Does it support Cyanogen Mod??

cheap phone for specs I had one and could never get YouTube to work so I sold it but decent phone and cheap

Would this work with 4g LTE on EE

No 800 band, old phone, used to be hot 2-3 years ago.

Your're wasting your time with sam, he's the village idiot on this site.

Good specs. Wonder what latest android OS you can get with this?

​What a comparison between sd 820 with 4gb ram and sd 801 with 2gb. All porkies.

Does it come with Play installed? And how many weeks for delivery? As escort boy says these can be had for £90 on UK eBay.

is it true that this has both 'NFC' as well as 'Infrared port'?

Too big for me but heated nonetheless!

Thinking to order it. Likely to be any customs charges?

Warehouse is based in HQ.

Not sure if this was supported by Cyanogenmod but it's all up in the air now with what happened a few days ago. Probably won't be supported by its successor, Lineage. If you are especially tight and only use your phone for the most basic stuff then this thing will be fine for you, but if you can stretch it just a little bit then I absolutely recommend the Redmi Note 3 Pro. Much better custom ROM support and all round better phone for just a bit more money.

Thanks

Bit of an idiot when it comes to phones, so I do apologise

I currently have a Pay as you Go O2 sim, if I just chuck that into this phone, am I all good to go?
Thanks

Does it support the 4G band of Three network please?

Thanks!

To those who have bought from Banggood before -

Ship From:

HK Warehouse

is selected, and i dont seem to be able to change it - is that okay?

What about customs duty?

Many thanks

801 is old-school, my z2 is approaching 3 years old and features it. The new Android does not support the 801..

If this was amazon then not a bad price. Banggood - no thanks. If it breaks in 4 months you're £90 down. Plus you could get stung by customs. Save yourself the headache and get a moto g4 for £20 more.

Jesus fecking christ. Use the damn search, its what its there for!

under £200 with a good camera??? So much choice.....decisions decisions

Ok found the deal where you have to take out a credit account with very. That's more high risk than a phone breaking. Besides it's a lower spec.
But on the plus side I found the more equivalent speced 'plus' at £189. But for that money I could get two Z7's (as a spare incase one breaks or is stolen or lost) and a spare screen (incase one gets broken)
That would cover more bases. :smiley:

How is it more high risk? Its an item over £100 on credit, you've got them by the **** for several years. Very have to comply with UK and EU law, this shower of **** don't.

Very

Banggood

Whatever the outcome it's still a worse phone for more money.

Your're talking about the Moto G4 2GB/16GB dual sim 2016 model right? (Which I have owned) This ZTE phone is the better phone. It out spec's the Moto G4 in all departments apart from maybe the camera (Moto G4 camera I really rated). The Moto G4 flaws were that it didn't have no NFC, gyro, or compass. The SD801 aces the SD617 in performance, and because the ZTE has the SD801 it can record in 4K something the Moto G4 can't do.

If the Moto G4 dual sim version was this price on this site it would go 2000°+ hot. The Moto G4 is a lower spec phone, your're basically paying more for less. I would even chose this ZTE phone over the Moto G4 Plus (you don't need 4GB RAM in a phone, only the clued up people on here know that).

​Now that's being really unfair to village idiots

​You show your ignorance with every post so I can't take you seriously.
The S7 in this country runs a Exynos 8590 not a SD 820.

one more plus for this ZTE is that it has 'infrared port', which the Moto G4 doesnt.

but as you said - only the clued up ppl on here know a 'good phone' overall when they see it and not just go like drones for Iphones or for Android phones with 4GB RAM which lacks other more important specs some of 'us' are looking for. :smile:

little baffled by all the technical speak, would this work with a vodafone sim please and 4g enabled?

​If Vodafone has poor coverage in 2600 band, this phone will not work at 4g but only 2g or 3g. Having all UK bands means better coverage and full data speed due to 4g carrier aggregation.

Currently have a Samsung Note 3, is this an upgrade on the note 3?

I am not voda so wont argue this point too strongly, but where you fail in your comment is the use of the word 'if', you might as well say if vodafone has poor coverage on any bands or if any network other than vodafone has poor coverage on any band then this or any phone wont work on that network. :smiley:

got one, very good price thanks OP

This or Huawei P8 Lite or Huawei p9 lite or Motorola Moto G4

ROM = Read Only Memory.

32Gb of ROM would not be very useful to store apps, picture and music.

Ordered one, yesterday.

But got an email from Banggood like 2 hrs later telling me both black and white are backordered, so they cancelled and refunded me.

not good at all :confused:

i thought backorder meant - waiting for stock, so why wld they refund you?

​I know decisions decisions

Infrared doesn't work. The phone has NFC but I haven't tried it...

It's a lovely phone, unbeatable specs for this price. Beautiful screen, gorilla glass (real gorilla glass not like some phones which say they have but haven't), fast CPU, decent memory, 2 SIM slots and a micro-sd card slot.

I ordered this and it says it ships with Android 5.0. Can anyone recommend a rom please?

Looks like it should perform similar to the Galaxy s5 as it has same chip etc... slightly lower spec camera and no fingerprint reader good price for new though. If you want more custom rom support and things like spare battery, mhl, water resistant, covers etc... then a used s5 for similar money might be more suitable. Voted hot as this is for brand new.

You can't get a new s5 for that kind of price but used ones do pop up on ebay, there is a dual sim version of the s5 or you could use a dual sim adapter. It's a good deal for £82 but you might get stung for import duty. Custom rom support is usually really good on Sammys, I still have an old s2 and it can run lolipop and marshmallow. I'm not knocking this deal, I guess it depends on how up to date and secure you want the software, one downside is that cyanogenmod will stop soon so the future is unclear.

Has anyone who ordered 5 days ago received the goods yet? I know it's a long shot but hoping mine will arrive sooner rather than later.

can this be upgraded from android 5?

is it better than a samsung galaxy s4?

will it work with 4G on the 3 network?​

these are £15 more on ebay with a 1 year warranty uk seller surely a better bet?

hey - all, i got one of these off the ebay seller - android pay doesnt work - when you try and run it is says the phone is incompatible! any ideas? its straight out the box - i've not touched the bootloader or root.

friend just recvd the 2 of these phones he bought and was shocked to have recved it so soon

- he ordered on 26-dec-2016 during the holiday period as well and got them today (12-jan-2017) which is 2wks 2 days and coming all the way from HongKong.

...so 'bang good' Banggood he says :smiley:

lots and lots :smile:
http://www.needrom.com/category/zte/serial-nubia/nubia-z7/#

but have heard much about CM12.1

I received it yesterday and it came ruining android 5.1.1 Yeah I see there are a few options ROM wise, with some issues raised in the comments section on needrom.

Hoping to get some feedback from someone that's tried some out, but might just have to try them out for myself!

Anyone tried another ROM yet?
Mines come with 5.1.1 on it and it's snappy fast. It's true that an old flagship like this still beats a lot of new mid range phones.
However I am intrigued by some ROMs on needrom but the community for this phone seems pretty dead. Not much conversation on XDA.

I have now tried a couple out. First I went for Resurrection Remix v5.8.0, which is android 7, but found that wifi was dropping out all the time, and there were also issues with status bar icons vanishing.

Next I tried MoKee 6.0.1, which is android 6, and I have been running this for around 4 days now. So far everything seems to work fine, but there's some stuff I haven't tested, like second sim and bluetooth.

MoKee for Z7 Max

No don't have to do that. Think that's only if you're going from android 4.

The only issue I had was rooting the phone. TowelRoot didn't seem to work, so ended up using Kingo Root, which did work, but also installs loads of crap onto the phone and also PC, so I'd avoid that method if possible.

I got all the instructions from this thread.

anyone with virgin sim having any problems? on a few occasions I'm not receiving calls or messages,but can make calls & people receive my texts. can't manually choose network too,any ideas?

i have found this phone to be picky with sims. I had a nano sim with a micro sim adapter and the sim kept "disappearing". I have changed the adapter and it seems more stable. @shimmy1 Ask virgin for another micro sim
