Both are 2G and 3G capable. Both 2G on standby but only one 3G can be active at any time.

All I can say is for its price point you should have measured expectations.

I just don't want to buy and then need to get it repaired. Do you encounter any problems so far?

used it for almost 2 months with no issues before switching to nubia z7 mini.

absolutely no issues and a good value for money phone with good performance and i didn't experience any lags or whatsoever.

I find the FM radio that comes with the ZF5 LTE can only find 100.3, & with static. Are there radio apps that will work with a ZF5?

So far no issues. Been using it for a few months now. Definitely the best of all the budget smartphones. Fast and fluid with almost zero lag unlike Xiaomi. Battery life would be close to a day without heavy use which is pretty standard for phones nowadays.

Can you take a screenshot of the battery usage? And one more thing, does it feel nice inside the pocket? Haha
