ZTE Engage Review of Pros And Cons

Picture of the ZTE Engage, by ZTE

This low-end to mid-range Android 4.0 smartphone includes music-oriented features, such as Muve Music service, SRS Sound Enhancer, and a free 4GB MicroSD card tailored for MUVE Music. We also appreciate the front-facing camera, but it is only VGA! However, even though the 1400Mhz processor seems sufficient, we think a dual-core CPU could have been a lot better for this phone.

On-paper Review rating:

Pros:

Acceptable SAR (radiation) rating:

There are phones with a lower radiation rating, but 0.741 w/kg is quite acceptable, on a scale of 0 to 1.60...

Swype:

With Swype, you can enter text just by moving a finger over the letters you would normally type on a regular keyboard.

Included memory card:

A memory card (4GB MUVE Music SD Card) is included in the packaging.

8-megapixel camera:

Superior photo resolution - 8-megapixel - with these features: Picture size, Color effect, Focus mode, Scene mode, Exposure, White balance, Flash mode.

Nice battery life:

ZTE claims that the ZTE Engage delivers 500 minutes of talk time. If that figure is accurate, it will be a great plus.

Cons or Not-so-great Features:

Just a TFT?:

TFT displays are fine (they used to be the finest of the finest), but in such a high-performance phone, we expect AMOLED, or even SuperAMOLED displays, renowed for their better brightness in sunlight, richer contrast and lower energy consumption.

Unknown weight:

It's frustrating that we were not able to find information about its weight.
