Zopo Flash X2 review
This phone is a relic from 2017 with no reason to buy it today. Even as a cheap second phone for calls and SMS, you will find newer budget handsets with better processors, bigger RAM, and current software for comparable money.
This review is written with AI assistance from Zopo’s published specifications and public benchmark data for the Zopo Flash X2, and the rating is spec-based. GoSolo does not physically test devices; where we estimate real-world behaviour such as battery life or charge time, we say so. How we rate phones.
Overview
The Zopo Flash X2 is a budget phone from mid-2017 with a tall 6-inch display and weak hardware that struggles with basic multitasking even by its era's standards. It's a relic whose age and low-end chipset make it a poor choice today unless you need an extremely cheap dual-SIM phone.
Design & Display
The 5.99-inch screen is genuinely tall and narrow by 2017 standards, which is the one aspect-ratio choice that actually aged well. The 720p resolution on that screen real estate lands at 269 ppi, which is dim and pixelated by modern expectations and was already looking soft against rivals from that year. IPS panel means viewing angles are decent, but the brightness and color fidelity typical of budget TFT screens of that era mean outdoor use is a struggle. No specs given for frame, weight, or build materials, which is telling of how little Zopo invested in durability.
Performance
The MediaTek MT6737T at 1.5 GHz with 4 cores and Mali-T720 MP2 graphics is firmly entry-level even for 2017. With only 2 GB of RAM, this phone labors through basic tasks like switching between apps or running a second messenger in the background. Web browsing is sluggish, gaming is not viable, and multitasking is a lesson in patience. This chipset was never fast, and by today's standards it is ancient; anything demanding drains battery and induces stuttering. The 16 GB storage, most of which the OS consumes, leaves almost nothing for apps or media.
Battery & Software
The 3380 mAh battery paired with this weak chipset will push through a full day if you are light-handed, but that figure is already cramped for a 6-inch phone. No charging speed is listed, which hints at the absence of fast charging; expect slow wired top-ups. Android 7.0 Nougat is now seven years old, missing crucial security patches and features standard since Android 11. No manufacturer is likely still pushing updates, leaving this device exposed to known vulnerabilities and incompatible with modern apps.
Connectivity & Value
LTE bands cover European and Asian frequencies (800, 1800, 2100, 2600 MHz) but omit Band 20 common in some regions. Dual SIM support via microSIM and nanoSIM slots is useful for travelers or those juggling carriers, but that is the only distinct feature on offer. The microSD slot up to 64 GB helps ease the storage crunch. For the mid-2017 launch price this was a budget phone; today it has zero value as a used device because better, newer alternatives cost the same or less.
Verdict
This phone is a relic from 2017 with no reason to buy it today. Even as a cheap second phone for calls and SMS, you will find newer budget handsets with better processors, bigger RAM, and current software for comparable money.
- Dual SIM flexibility with both microSIM and nanoSIM support
- microSD card slot up to 64 GB expands the cramped 16 GB storage
- Tall 6-inch display was ahead of the 16:9 norm of its era, and that aspect ratio suits modern apps better
- Weak MediaTek MT6737T chipset with 2 GB RAM makes multitasking slow and modern app use frustrating
- Android 7.0 Nougat with no path to security updates or modern app compatibility
- Pixelated 720p IPS display on a 6-inch screen, outdated even for 2017
