ZTE result M (MetroPCS)

The good: The ZTE score M design is robust, but easy. The quality is decent and the battery is longer lasting.

The bad: The score of M-display has a narrow point of view, the processor is slow and it comes with a lot of bloatware.

The bottom line: Although the ZTE satisfactory result M calls, not its sluggish processor and the network speeds of trouble value.


If you think that you have déjà vu, you're not. You have seen the ZTE result M before, but as a cricket wireless device (there are not the "M" in the name have). When was it in that network, it had a smaller battery (1, 200mAh, compared to 1, 500mAh in this one) and cricket the Muve music service.


But not music lovers despair, as MetroPCS has back. If you pay an additional $60 per month over $99 no-contract price, get not only unlimited talk, text, data and E-mail, but also unlimited song downloads from Rhapsody music. Otherwise, the data of the phone remains relatively the same, which means that it is still the same problems. Despite his decent call and audio quality I could get just past the glacial processor and lousy display.


Editors Note: Because they are nearly identical devices, score lends our report for the ZTE M on MetroPCS network strongly from our review of the ZTE-Score on Cricket Wireless.


Design
The ZTE result M is slightly larger than the original score because of the pushed-in battery. The m measures 4.4 cm high and 2.44 inches wide. At 0.54 inch thick, it has a very stable build, but it has slipped a little bulky, as in a slim Jean pocket. This does not mean, it's too hard, in fact, it weighs only 4.8 ounces, but its thickness is obvious.


The device has a black glossy coating and the back consists of a rubberized textured material, the the listener a sporty feel, there are. I personally not a fan of (I have a thing against clusters of small holes), but it easier to access the cell phone.



The ZTE result M rubber offers again rubbing against smooth surfaces.

On the left side, you can plug it with the micro-USB port, which is protected by an attached door free of charge. At the top is the sleep/power button and a 3.5 mm-plug. On the right side there is a volume rocker and it follows a small door for your MicroSD card slot. The supplied SD card is 2 GB. To get it out, press it, so that it will pop. This has all the short nails or large fingers may be difficult, but it is not impossible.


In this slot, there is a special camera button. Keep them for a few seconds and the camera app is opened. This will only work if the display is enabled and unlocked your phone is.


The camera lens is on the back of the handset. Below there is a small slot for the speakers. You can find easily a lithium-ion battery support by a small indent on the left side of the device pop.


The score-M 3, 5-inch HVGA touch screen resolution only 320 x 480 pixels at 165ppi shows so lush graphics you do not expect. Apart from the heavily pixelated pictures I saw of menu items and videos (also the simple outlines of the circles in the settings app was fuzzy), I also thought that appeared the screen "Bacon." be it my eyes that were the problem, was scrolling through my apps a bit disgusting, because all fuzzy lines, which pushed the symbols. The display has a narrow point of view. If I the device a little from each side tilted, it was difficult or almost impossible to make, what was on the screen.


Under the screen, are the four usual menu, home, back and search buttons the weak light, above, if you touch them. My biggest problem with the original score cricket network was that the display is not completely reacted. I had below set to register, to push my movements. On MetroPCS unit however I found it very much be sensitive.


Functions
The ZTE result M runs on MetroPCS network and powered by a 600 mHz Qualcomm processor. These two factors make it not the fastest thing on Earth, but for some of your basic functions such as calls, calculating tip and text messaging, will it do the trick. Apropos text comes telephone preinstalled with the Swype input feature.


As an Android phone for a lot of standard Google apps like Google Books, Gmail, maps with navigation, search, places, talk, and YouTube. As this not the latest and greatest, which is on the market, either the hottest OS, expect you non-- the device is delivered with gingerbread.


There are also a handful of MetroPCS apps, that some might find useful. And because they are uninstalled, you must stick with them. These include: Metro own brand of cards, letters, app market and Web browsing; M Studio, the media files as ring tones saved; a Wi-Fi hot-spot app called MetroPCS easy WiFi; Near Metro411, which seeks and finds for the nearby shops and restaurants; Entertainment and media app of called MyExtras; and MyMetro we check your account balance and plan.


You rarely found a number of basic tasks management applications often in most devices, such as a clock with alarm clock functions, a calculator, Bluetooth 2.1, a calendar, text messaging, a voice recorder and a news and weather app apps as well as IN the social, which consolidates your social networking portals; the called mobile media suite Pocket Express; and loopt, you can use the your location and restaurant-check-in the to share with friends. There are also three Yahoo apps branded: sport news app Sportacular, Yahoo movies, and responses.
