As the title says, ZTE sent us the U50 to have a look at - and it's worth a look... ZTE U50: amzn.to/4e1oAu0 Scancom EE Sim (unlimited to December 2025): amzn.to/3MytuTg
I had this device in july it was fast one minute and slow a minute later. I think zte selling it at 169 they are giving everyone on a budget a chance to experience 5g
Nice bit of kit , for me the no lights will be fine , probably have it in a cupboard anyway , be interested to see how long the battery lasts , nice honest review 👍
Haven’t yet been on a site where 5G’s been available, but should be tomorrow. If the other two ZTE units we have are anything to go by, though, I expect no issues…
FYI: If you let it run on a wall charger without the battery inserted, it unfortunately reboots itself every 2-5 minutes. Very sad. I was super excited to use it without the battery at home, but it only works correctly and without those reboots when the battery is inserted. It would be an awesome function, but I've been shown otherwise. Other than that it's an awesome device and you get great 5G speed for the price!
@@VandromedasTravels hi there, i haven't found a firmware version, just a software version: BD_LIVUKU50V1.0.0B05. Just encountered that the device, after in use for about 1hr, is shutting down and rebooting again.. (of course with th battery in use) 🤔
bit of double sided gorilla tape stick it on top of the box then go and charge people for being a 5g mobile hot spot 🤣🤣🤣 Might get another complaint from the chap who didn’t like the rear view camera on it though 🤣🤣🤣
Because everything ties in to a single SSID, and if I'm out, Gill can still do everything she needs to do, without having to log the firestick, for instance, into a different phone (hers) because mine's with me - same applies to the Ecoflow units (which are all internet connected), satnavs, internet connected cameras for online backups that happen automatically - all sorts of stuff that isn't agile enough to swap networks easily. We use a LOT of data, and everything has to work simply - one network to handle it all, and no forgetting to log in to whichever phone happens to be there at the time. Every mobile router we have has the same SSID and passwords, such that whichever one is enabled at the time, all the devices that need to connect, just do - can't do that with the phones, because they're always on, and you can't necessarily set the SSIDs on them.

That’s 5G for you… depends very much on cell saturation and contention. But yes, within most folks’ grasp.
@@VandromedasTravels started using a smarty getting speeds over 160 down but not sure about streaming on a firestick or the laptop.
@@paulmurphy2144 Should be OK - we've had no problems...

G: thank you. No lights suits me too, can’t sleep if I can see any coloured lights x
Excellent review, thank you. Have you actually had it working successfully on a 5G network? Thanks!

@@VandromedasTravels How'd it go with the 5G?

Ours hasn't rebooted - which firmware are you on?

But will it fit on the scoot 🤔😉🤣
Stay Safe 😜👍🥰
Only one way to find out… can certainly power it!
One way to find out... Wonder if I can fashion a mount... be daft to put it in the top box, but ON the top box might work!

There's that - and not a bad idea!!! Gill can take her iPad with her when we're in Lincoln, and can check prices!!
Why not just use your phone.
