ZTE Quartz Hands-on: Android Wear 2 for under $200!

2017-04-10
so Android wear 2.0 is slowly being rolled out to existing smartwatches but when it comes to new models we're still waiting for the next batch to come around GT on the other hand just announced its first wearable for the US market and it's quite surprising given how other players in the space have been relatively silent about making Android wear 2.0 watches now the ZTE quartz might look chunky and cooked cutter at first glance but don't want to fool you just because GT is being aggressive about its price point so yeah it's seriously undercutting the competition especially when you put it against the LG watch sport which has an MSRP of $349 when you look at the quartz spec sheet it really does match the LG watch sport in many areas like its Qualcomm Snapdragon wear 2100 chipset you have a 400 by 400 resolution to display quoting Gorilla Glass 3 768 megabytes of RAM and 4 gigabytes of internal storage frankly the court doesn't have nearly the same level elegance or lore as other Android web 2.0 smartwatches first of all it's pretty chunky looking so if you have a small wrist it might look out of place however the decision for thicker chassis does allow the courts to accommodate a higher capacity 500 milliamp hour battery that ensures it's going to be able to handle all day independent usage without the worry of running out of juice still it doesn't have the same premium look and feel as its rivals well be included wrist strap is you're a typical rubbery texture of one you can easily replace it with any others and honestly we really weren't expecting anything ornate with the strap taking into consideration its price and all what's surprising though is that ZTE opted to not have a heart rate sensor which of course helps to lessen its price point but some people might be disappointed by this moving on to the screen the 1.4 inch AMOLED display looks detailed and crisp and the things can handle outdoor visibility ok and lastly the biggest takeaway for the courts is that it features built-in cellular radios that allow its function independently from your smartphone now this noise if you want to leave your phone behind say like going on the hike or something since you can still make phone calls through it so even though it's not the most stylish or premium SmartWatch out there there's still lots to consider when you look at its $192 price that's pretty aggressive when you think about it because it's cellular enabled out of the box and has similar specs to that of the elk you watch sport so would you guys buy it even at one hundred ninety two dollars you guys won't learn more about the ZTE quartz you could check out our website and rathore decom this is john b signing off
