ZTE reaches high with its Warp Sequent from Boost Video Transcript
Hello, everybody. It's Lynn La from CNET, bringing you guys the ZTE Warp Sequent from Boost Mobile. The Warp Sequent is one of the higher-end devices from ZTE and frankly, it's one of the better constructed handsets we have seen from them. It's equipped with a 4.3-inch qHD touch screen that's sensitive to the touch. It's powered by a 1.4 Gigahertz processor, and it has a 1.65 Amp-hour battery, which roughly translates to 8 hours of reported talk time. The Sequent also ships natively with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Now, although it doesn't run pure Android, the phone offers a pretty skinless experience. So, those who like themselves some Vanilla ICS would really appreciate this device as relative lack of bloatware and third-party UI. On the front, there's a 1.3 megapixel camera and on the other side is a 5 megapixel camera that includes a few features like panoramic shooting and composition lines. The phone includes 768 megabytes of RAM and it has a microSD card slot inside. Unfortunately, the device only runs on Boost 3G network. Users can purchase it from the carrier without a contract for about $200. Again, I am Lynn, and this has been the ZTE Warp Sequent from Boost.

ZTE Warp Sequent (Boost Mobile) Review
The good: The ZTE Warp Sequent has a sturdy construction, delivers a nearly skinless Android 4.0 experience, and has a decent 5-megapixel camera.
The bad: Boost's Warp Sequent runs only on 3G, and its camera's shutter speed is slow.
The bottom line: The Warp Sequent's impressive performance and decent midrange specs are a step up for ZTE, but its sluggish 3G speeds and price don't merit a purchase.
