Put the convenience of a flip phone in your back pocket with this TracFone ZTE device. A large keypad allows for easy dialing, and the large screen displays your texts and incoming calls. Featuring a wide range of pre-loaded apps, this TracFone ZTE lets you watch video, play games and browse the web.
I love the fact that it’s a flip phone smart phone with a small external screen that tells time , battery level and signal or who’s calling before ever flipping it open.
Compared to the ZTE Valet Tracfone I previously used, this is much faster and more reliable.
I added a 32 GB SD Card and so have memory to spare. Be sure to adjust the save location to the SDCard to take advantage of that and to move apps to the SDCard, since you only have a few GB of useful memory on the phone itself.
The big keys for dialing make it so much easier to dial, especially when in a moving vehicle, but I find that for entering text, I prefer the onscreen keyboard.
It is set up to act like a flip phone and answer when opening, although that can be changed if you don’t like that. The small exterior screen displays who is calling. I like that since I hated to swipe to answer or not or my previous phone.
The screen doesn’t auto-rotate for most apps although it does when viewing a video.
I always had trouble hearing calls on my old android, and had to turn the speaker on; no such problem with this one, which is great.
While some may not like the large size since it’s basically almost twice the length of a normal phone when opened, I like that both when using it to talk to someone and when taking videos as it seems easier to grip for me that way.
I’ve used it for three months with no complaints so far.
