Sprint Force Pro Reviews

The ZTE Force is a solid $49 smartphone. About the only real complaints I can point to are a somewhat slow user interface and pokey internet speeds. The hardware is solid and functions well. In fact, it far surpassed what I expected in terms of quality from ZTE. The Force connected to Sprint's network and offered great call quality. Battery life was above average and the camera surprised me with its results. It's always nice to see a stock version of Android, and Sprint does a great job keeping its smartphones free of unwanted apps and junk. There aren't too many $49 devices that match the Force's performance. The Sprint Force is a force to be reckoned with.

Screen resolution and camera issues aside, people just entering the burgeoning smartphone market could do a lot worse than to consider the Sprint Force. It offers up everything from 4G LTE to WiFi to Bluetooth and even NFC connections at a fraction of the cost of other phones. While it won't dazzle your friends as the newest piece of tech, it could easily become a workhorse for you. Although the phone only includes roughly 2GB of storage, with the addition of a 64GB microSD card this could easily become a serviceable media device. If you are considering this for the network, be sure to check out Sprint's announced 4G LTE rollout plans, which are in the process of being installed. Your mileage may vary, and you should check the web thoroughly for average 4G speeds in your area.

The Sprint Force does not try to be something it is not. There is no fancy materials to give the air of a high end phone, and the price reflects what you’re getting accordingly. It is not the prettiest, the fastest or the toughest phone out there, but at $50 on contract it is a phone that will work well for the average user. Decent internals and light software add-ons allow the Force to run quickly enough.
