The ZTE Fury comes with a decent camera and a snappy internal processor, and it isn't plagued with bloatware. Also, the quality design makes it seem more expensive than you'd expect from its bargain price tag

Reviewers Didn't Like

Poor camera, Mediocre call quality
Lacks 4G capability; Poor camcorder; Subpar speaker for music
Callers complained of poor quality, Display washes out in direct light
Despite taking passable pictures, the Fury records disappointing video, and call quality is mediocre. It's also equipped with the unpleasant customization feature Sprint ID
