This has Dual-SIM, gyroscope, compass, NFC, 3100mAh battery and a decent camera. According to the Youtube review (at 14:55) on Post #2 the screen is Gorilla Glass 3. No fingerprint scanner, and non-removable battery.
5.5" Full HD IPS display - Pixel density 401ppi, camera - Sony IMX214 Exmor RS sensor. Apparently the video supports 4K recording (!).
ROMs are also discussed on the aforementioned HUKD thread but that's beyond my ken (see Post #20).
This phone will only work with
2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz (HSDPA)
4G: TDD-LTE B38/39/40/41, FDD-LTE 1800(B3)/2100(B1)/2600(B7)MHz
It’s unlocked for worldwide use, customers please take a check to see if your local area network or the communication operator you are using is compatible with this phone before purchase.

Unboxing and review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtvwV-ra6iM at 14:55 it's mentioned the screen is Gorilla Glass 3. No fingerprint scanner, and non-removable battery. At 16:27 the reviewer also mentions a Dolby audio chip (?).
From 2:48 https://youtu.be/E-UQoMqL-Dg?t=168 you can see how the Home button, capacitive keys also work as notification lights. This reviewer points out the different ports, microphone, speaker and buttons and removes the back to reveal the un-removable battery, SIM slots and MicroSD slot.
Also the display is mentioned (at 3:42) - Full HD IPS display - Pixel density 401ppi.
And the camera is a Sony IMX214 Exmor RS sensor at 4:03 and talks about ZTE's UI, which he's quite excited about :laughing:
Chinese roms usually aren't official builds (may be seen as rooted) as such google and many banks won't allow you to use their banking apps or indeed android pay due to security issues.
Unlikely, it won't be an official google build or may be rooted. Many Chinese phones are incompatible with pay/banking apps for this reason. Just one of many reasons I'd never buy a Chinese phone again.
Rubbish!
Applicable to android and apple pay.
"Both services generate a temporary credit card number that is used for your transaction. Should this number be compromised, it’s likely that it’s already expired and won’t be used to drain your account. As far as security goes, that’s the biggest advantage of Android Pay and Apple Pay.
These systems use a “token” approach, rather than the static number on a traditional credit card. On both platforms you have to have some level of device protection enabled to be able to use the app. This can slow down the payment process while you unlock the phone or app, but it’s relatively quick, and absolutely worth the extra layer of security it provides.
Once you’re in, your app talks to the Android Pay server to ensure your tokens are up-to-date. If you don’t have an internet connection, you’re still okay – for a while. You can perform a limited number of transactions without a connection to the ‘net. Think of this like a credit card with a very short expiration date. Once that date passes you’ll need to get a new card to make more purchases – but here, that “new card” is an updated token that’s created automatically for you once your app syncs with the server. The whole concept is called Host Card Emulation, or “HCE” for short. The way it works is a bit more technical than what I’ve described, but that’s a pretty close “tangible” example."

These are great well specced handsets. However, there is no official native ROM with Google Play Services included as these handsets were designed only for the Chinese market. Therefore, GApps has to be added (which the retailer has done). Just know what you're getting going in.

if it had a fingerprint scanner I'd of bought this :disappointed:
Assuming Banggood don't take too long (not sure as I've only ordered from them once!) it's probably best saving your £20 and waiting a week or two.
Edit: Actually, quite a few are listed at £99.99 Buy It Now or Best Offer, wonder how low they would go? :neutral_face: The previous HUKD thread on this suggests some paid £90.

This is really a great phone. I got mine three weeks ago. It arrived in ten days from China and I am very pleased with it. Great camera, good battery life. Google Play Store was installed on it. I got my case and tempered glass screen protector from Amazon.

My sister's in the market for a new phone but she said "It's from China!" and seems to think it will be all in Chinese, great to hear some feedback, and even better to hear of quick delivery from Banggood.

I ordered several times from BG and it never took longer than three weeks. Unlike some other Chinese stores. I am actually typing this message on the Nubia.
