#ZTE Speed

Chinese device manufacturer ZTE just unveiled the Speed, an entry-level smartphone that packs a Snapdragon 410 chipset, LTE, and a sub-Php5k price tag. We featured this HSPA+ capable mobile hotspot from ZTE a few weeks ago and we've finally gotten a review unit to test. Like many other pocket WiFi (MiFi) devices before it, the ZTE MF60 is one pretty kick-ass unit. The ZTE MF60 looks like your typical portable mobile hotspot device -- small, lightweight, bar soap shaped 3G/WiFi router. The performance, coverage and actual street speeds of the telcos are another matter altogether. Here's our collective speed tests for Globe HSPA+ and Smart HSPA+. Given these initial test data as control points, we tried out the ZTE MF60 if it can achieve similar or better results. ZTE used a web-based administration panel for the MF60 (provided by GoAhead Webserver) and supports a lot of operating systems (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, etc).
