          Not sure why my comment above was marked as off topic, you really couldn't get more on topic than asking a question about the features of the phone.

        • surethang on 18/02/2018 - 11:02

          Yep, 100% security isn't possible. It's more that every measure you take to thwart it can help, including open source ROM, encryption, exploit patches, firewall, antivirus, etc.

          If in doubt, don't put anything on your device that you don't want the Chinese, NSA, or <insert general baddies> accessing.

          @surethang: or you can minimize the very real and proven risk of Chinese spying on your smartphones by not buying a Chinese phone

        • surethang on 19/02/2018 - 10:53

          @Michael15286:

          For sure. Most people buy Chinese phones like Xiaomi because they can be as low as a third of the price. So it's a savings/risk trade-off.

          In any case, it'd be a challenge to buy a device that doesn't contain Chinese/foreign components running microcode (microcontrollers, digital signal processors, channel controllers, memory/disk controllers, network interface controllers, network processors, GPU, and the list goes on).

          And as @Dontreadthis notes below, it's really a case of choose-your-poison - Chinese, NSA, Russian (Kaspersky?), Google, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, Amazon, …

        The article you linked literally says "capacity" to do malicious things. I don't think it's saying much. It definitely doesn't say that anything is being done or maybe they just can't prove it. I can appreciate the angle and concern, I wouldn't personally put any weight on it for my purchase

          I’m ok with governments spying on me through my cheap ass phone though I’d suggest they invest their resources elsewhere as I’m pretty boring.
          If I was to buy a lotto ticket on my phone could they steal the ticket if I won?

      Not defending the Chinese, but how is it any different to the NSAs hand thats shoved up Google's behind? Why do people get so worked up about articles about the Chinese brands yet ignore what's happening in the US with brands that are far more popular here? Also the Australian government is trying to introduce legislation literally asking for backdoors to all encrypted services - without a warrant - for law enforcement: https://www.computerworld.com.au/article/633210/digital-righ…
      I don't see how the Chinese are any worse, especially when they they have no jurisdiction here. The Chinese might be being sneaky - but at least they aren't lying to my face telling me it's for my security and my own good.

          It's not an individual they are interested in… Information gathered is a vital part of any of the above agencies workings.. Before they needed people in the field to gauge population reaction to political issues etc now they just send cheap electronics with gateway sign ups etc… It would not surprise me if Google or any of them have agreements in place with these agencies and definitely wouldn't surprise me if cheap Chinese electronics being sent all over the world is also used for these purposes… Doesn't mean u gotta care but it's a much easier way to spy lol

      • uniqualz on 18/02/2018 - 11:06

        Well, I hope good ol' US of A and China got something useful outta spying on me as I sat on the bog and crapped out that ring-stinging curry I had yesterday.. Was reading Google News at the time, if that helps?

    • liquornoodlescabbage on 17/02/2018 - 21:51

      lists agencies currently spying on the entire world
      Oh yes because we need to make sure that they're the only ones spying on us, don't want nothin to do with those pesky Chinese.
      By this point unless you need to literally design the device yourself, code the firmware and operating system yourself and then find some cryptic way to connect to any external services without being tracked.

    • therealfattony on 17/02/2018 - 22:48

    I paid $499 back in August for mine from JB and it has been the best phone I've ever had. Pretty much all the phone brands in AU outsource their repairs, but ZTE's head office in Melbourne do the repairs for their phones. This was one of the deciding factors when I picked up this one over a Motorola. Plus free repair for accidental screen damage for the first 2 years.

    There still isn't much else on the market I'd rather buy, especially at this price point.

      Me too! Paid 500 at JB and I love it. Best phone ever. And the display is absolutely beautiful. Cannot ask for anything better! So extremely happy with everything about it.

      • Kangal on 18/02/2018 - 14:05

        August 2017… $500 ?
        Not sure if it was the best deal because the LG G6 could be had for around $460 back in June 2017.

        LG has better ergonomics, waterproofing, and cameras.
        The ZTE has a better metal body, speakers, screen.
        They're both equal when it comes to performance and battery life.

        Would've been awesome if they combined the two in early 2016 to make for a good value/flagship upgrade from the Samsung NOTE 4/Snapdragon 800-era. Since all Android phones in 2015 were mostly bad, only the Galaxy S6 is "okay" by today's standards… I call it the year Apple won.

      Depends. Do you prefer stock Android over skinned Android? Is cost a deciding factor? This one has a better processor plus an AMOLED QHD display, if that's your thing. You also need to take into consideration after-sale services. Someone mentioned that ZTE have a centre in Melbourne. I'm sure Xiaomi possesses no such thing here in Australia.

      • virhlpool on 17/02/2018 - 13:51

        Xiaomi phones are far more popular everywhere than ZTE. No?

        Honestly, processor and NFC are surely plus (mere because I do pay with Android and Apply Pay once in a while when they have some promo offers with Amex, Woolies Rewards, etc and I have earned around $20-$30 so far) though I don't care about the slight difference in display among those two phones.
