A phone with an X – will it succeed? The Chinese manufacturer ZTE is expanding into foreign markets. The 4.5-inch, mid-priced Grand X Pro smartphone is to help achieve this. We examined whether it might just be a home run.

Unfortunately, the ZTE Grand X View 4 falls into the same trap as other affordable Android tablets. It’s fine for email and web browsing, but it’s simply too slow for day-to-day use for anything of substance like playing games, watching videos reliably, or even using it as a Wi-Fi hotspot. Even if you can get it for $0 down at one of the listed telcos, it’s just simply not worth it with the specifications and performance.

8.00:
Large smartphones and a few small tablets are available for this display size. Unlike most smartphones, you can see more on the screen, more details and use larger resolutions. Such formats are better for people with defective vision. However, such devices are no longer easy to fit in a pocket, and they are probably not quite light either.

79.5%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
