Third-party reviews

What customers like about ZTE Grand X View 2 LTE (1GB + 8GB)

  • Clear and crisp 8-inch HD display for media consumption
  • Solid and sturdy build quality with a comfortable matted backing
  • Reliable Wi-Fi and 4G LTE connectivity for travel
  • Good battery life for everyday tasks and streaming
  • Affordable price point, often cited as a great value tablet for kids
  • Smooth performance for basic apps like Netflix and YouTube without freezing

What customers don't like about ZTE Grand X View 2 LTE (1GB + 8GB)

  • Limited internal storage (8GB), which fills up quickly with apps
  • Low amount of RAM (1GB) can lead to slow performance compared to newer models
  • Screen resolution (1280x800) feels dated for high-end users
  • Potentially fragile plastic tabs for SIM and SD card slots
  • Default ZTE launcher lacks an app drawer, which some find unintuitive
  • Camera quality is basic (5MP) and may not satisfy for photography

Verdict

The ZTE Grand X View 2 LTE is a budget-friendly 8-inch tablet featuring a 1280 x 800 IPS LCD display and powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 quad-core processor. This specific configuration includes 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, which is expandable via microSD up to 128GB, alongside a 4,620mAh battery and 4G LTE connectivity. Its main advantages include a clear and vibrant HD screen suitable for media consumption, solid build quality with a matted backing for better grip, and reliable cellular connectivity for on-the-go use. However, it is hindered by significant performance limitations due to the low RAM and very limited 8GB of internal storage, which quickly fills up with system files and apps.
