ZTE Blade A34

Strengths

The battery actually should last you a pretty decent time most likely longer than most other Android devices...
This is right now as the best as you can experience this device... with freshly set up, so it's running best right now...
The processor it's most likely going to last a decent amount of time... an octacore processor this is the a55...
If put some stuff on it applications it will slow down it will run crappier... but this is right now as the best as you can experience this device...
This should be a pretty decent battery life anyway for devices that come out nowadays...

Weaknesses

It's painfully slow so when you open up applications it just takes them a decent while to load up...
The device is freshly set up, so it's running best right now... but if put some stuff on it applications it will slow down it will run crappier...
This won't be a pleasant thing to use so anyway with that being said hopefully you found this video helpful...
You can see it's painfully see it's painfully slow so when you open up applications it just takes them a decent while to load up...
The device itself is crap but boy if I would ever get lost in a Wilderness this device would literally last me up to a month the battery there was absolutely insane for a device with a touchcreen...
