what your service plan includes and cost
pros and cons
Maybe it will be of use to those looking to replace or upgrade or even change service.
Mine is not fancy but I really like it.
ZTE Z MAX Z982 with Zizo ION case. I really like this case as well.
Android Version 7.1.1
I got the phone last winter for $120 or so at metro pcs, maybe closer to $150 after taxes, getting it activated all that.
I was always a Verizon user and was kind of nervous about switching to Metro but have not had a single issue.
Verizon was charging me $45 a month for 2gb of data at 3G speed. On this phone, I pay $50 a month for Unlimited Data with 4G. That is $50 a month with no contract at all, just month to month.
Pros.
Great phone so far, not a single hiccup. It is pretty responsive and has plenty of storage space for all my apps.
This phone is of the larger variety, 6.5" screen. Which is great for streaming video or viewing pics, reading comics or news sites etc. Nice front and rear cameras. 1080 at 30fps. It has a nice time lapse feature, I had fun putting this phone up on the wall at work and doing a time lapse of unloading the trucks.
The battery life is really good, if using it for checking emails, the occasional news app here and there and some pictures and phone calls, I might not need to charge it but once every 2 or 3 days. And when I do need to charge it, it charges really fast! 2 or 3 times faster than my older/smaller cell phones that have much shorter battery life. The battery life and fast charge are a big bonus.
This phone also has fingerprint tech so you can set up a pattern on the screen or just a fingerprint read on the rear button I feel I am getting my money's worth.
Metro PCS has been a pretty good service so far as well.
Cons.
The only thing I consider to be a con on this phone is one of its pros, its size. It is small enough to put in a pocket and forget about unless I have it in my front pants pocket and then sit down to drive, car/truck/forklift etc. It is just large enough that it is too big in a pants pocket when sitting, It fits but is tight and you feel like you might hurt the phone.
The case I use is pretty great too. It has full protection all the way around and even all the buttons and ports are covered other than the mics. The charge port and headphone jack even have flip open tabs that keep the dirt and dust out.
