Zte zmax pro tmobile worth it for $179? performance wise

[monty1992]

i am looking to buy a phone under $200(my samsung galaxy s5 broke)

my question is will zte zmax pro provide sufficient performance comparable to samsung galaxy s5?

i need to a phone to talk, text, youtube videos and social media like Facebook, work related apps, espn app etc,

will zte zmax pro be a good device? is snapdragon 617 sufficient to use in 2016?

ZTE Axon Pro has the specs but from what i understand snapdragon 810 runs really hot with issues?

It's likely it will work fine for what you've described. I've been using one for the last 4 months and it's rare when it bogs down. If you use MetroPCS it's only $99, $39 if you port in. Still the only phone from any major carrier with 32gb of onboard storage for $100, with an octa-core processor to boot. Good luck.
