ZTE Engage Headed To Cricket With 1GHz Processor, 4" WVGA Display, $250 Price Tag On October 2nd

Posted by in Cricket Wireless, News, ZTE

Do you like the idea of a low-end prepaid phone that's probably marginally overpriced for what it is? Does Cricket Wireless intrigue you? Then have I got the news of the century for you. Meet the ZTE Engage. It's not particularly exciting. It's not particularly cheap. But it's... a phone. And it runs Android 4.0. So there's that.

The ZTE Engage does other things, too. Like music. And apps. Here are some specifications that describe it:

  • 4.0” WVGA TFT capacitive touchscreen
  • Qualcomm MSM8655T Scorpion – 1.4GHz
  • Dual-Facing Cameras: Rear (8.0MP) w/LED Flash & Front (VGA)
  • MUVE Music Ready with 4GB Muve Music SD Card included
  • Removable MicroSD Memory Card (up to 32GB)
  • Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
  • Lithium Ion 1900 mAh battery

If those don't get you pumped up, well, you're probably a person of pretty reasonable expectations. So, how much can you expect to pay for this mundane, rectangular, vaguely DROID Bionic-esque device? $250, starting October 2nd. That's... actually not very impressive at all. A Galaxy Nexus will cost you $350, and it comes with Jelly Bean. And isn't a ZTE.

Anyway, if you want to know more about the Engage, engage yourself with the source link below.

    David, you should really consider a carrer in marketing, or advertising.

    Why are you comparing this phone to a nexus at price level? Engage will work with cricket and on a $50 plan for everything unlimited. With verizon nexus I was paying around $120 per month after discount for unlimited calling and capped data.

    True comparison for this phone should be between Mercury, HTC ONE V & Engage.

      Great point and much more of a realistic one than the author of the mediocre review above. I just bought mine yesterday. I spent a solid 25 minutes playing with both the HTC One V and the Engage. Why I picked the engage @ $30 more:
      ~Noticed a SOLID performance difference between 1.4GHz and 1.0GHz
      ~Larger screen
      compared to...
      ~HTC Name
      ~LCD Screen
      ~Aluminum housing (more durable than the engages plastic housing)

      I'm really lucky with keeping my devices nice for long periods of time. Had my Zio 6000 POS for 2 years... I think that's saying something. Hope I'm as lucky with the plastic housing on the Engage.
