This is the most critical part of the firmware for this device.

• Go Edition Optimization: If your unit runs Android Go Edition, the firmware is optimized for low RAM (2GB or 3GB). Apps install lighter versions (like Google Go) and run in a memory-saving mode.
• Lag and Stutters: The firmware struggles with multitasking. ZTE’s software management is aggressive about killing background apps to save battery. You will frequently experience "redraws" (apps reloading) when switching between them.
• Animations: The animation scaling in the firmware feels slow. Navigating the menu can feel sluggish. Users often go into Developer Options to reduce or turn off animation speeds to make the phone feel faster.
