ZTE Score M (MetroPCS) review

Because they are nearly identical devices, our review for the ZTE Score M on MetroPCS' network heavily borrows from our review of the ZTE Score on Cricket Wireless.

The Score M's display has a narrow viewing angle, the processor is sluggish, and it comes with a lot of bloatware.

Though the ZTE Score M makes satisfying calls, its sluggish processor and network speeds aren’t worth the trouble.
