How does it feel that ZTE has made the best phone this year?

I mean seriously.

>Starts at $400 unlocked
>Snapdragon 820
>4 GB RAM
>64 GB storage WITH MicroSD expansion
>Dual SIM
>5.5 inch screen @ 2560x1440
>20 MP camera with OIS and dual tone flash
>Can record videos in both h.265 and lossless formats
>Still has 3.5mm headphone jack
>Has the best DAC pretty much ever put in a smartphone (powerful output and supports 32 bit audio)
>Has some of the loudest front facing dual speakers ever put in a smartphone
>USB v3 Type C connector with quick charge
>3250 mAh battery
>Rear-mounted fingerprint scanner
>Will support Google's Daydream VR platform

>Did I mention IT'S ONLY $400 UNLOCKED?

I was really wanting to hold out for the Pixel, but I mean

>Starts at $650 unlocked
>32 GB, no SD expansion

...and it already lost me. Only thing interesting about it is the camera, but we're in a time where the only shit cameras are on super budget devices, so it's not really a big deal anymore.

Why aren't you getting a Axon 7, Cred Forums?

Nah, I bought the Honor 8 instead. :^)

>Snapdragon 820

because ZTE is chinese, and chinks make terrible phones with terrible quality.

i still regret buying my 6P. screen bent out of the frame within the first month, and neither google nor shitwei's warranties covered it

never trust chinks when it comes to phones

Feels creamy.

>shitposting

>never trust chinks with anything

fixed that for you

>starts at $650
>5.5 inch

Fucking dropped. Everyone knows that the Moto X Style will stay the best phone.

Feels nice actually. I always thought of ZTE as the cheap ass phones that only drug dealers on MetroPCS plans used. It's nice that they actually managed to make a great phone.

Still

>Not on Android N yet
is a huge deal breaker for me. It's hard to go back to M after the greatness than is Nougat. At least their skin doesn't seem to be hot garbage.

>Starts at $650
What, it actually starts at $400. Unless you're talking about Pixel.

Oh shoot I was skimming through the post and didn't catch that. Sorry

Regret because I got a HTC 10 instead.

The 10 isn't a bad phone by any stretch, but the fact that this phone offers all the missing stuff I wanted in a 10 but for cheaper is disheartening.

It's perfect but the OS is fucking garbage.

I bought a OP3 after returning mine, really missing that microSD. I don't do custom ROMs and I need a really stable phone, surprisingly the OP3 was good in this regard.

>never trust chinks when it comes to phones
Can you even buy a phone that isn't at least 80% chinese made?

I've had no problems with their skin besides the stupid name.

And I mean, I could just install a decent launcher if I don't like their skins anyway. It's not like a Xiaomi device where I'm stuck with their bastardization of Android.

Agreed. This phone is basically the "flagship killer" that the OP3 wishes it was.

I just hope it gets updated to Nougat soon.

lmao, this.

>snapdragon
kek

>hardware navigation buttons
>non backlit hardware navigation buttons

so close, but yet so far...

Just tried it at best buy and it feels great in the hands. The only thing holding me back is zte's bad history with updates. It's not even on nougat yet.

>tfw people are LITERALLY going to pay more for less with the pixel phone

see

You used to be able to buy one that was only like 40% chink when google forced moto manufacturing in the states but lmao
