The Good
Price The ZTE Optik is available for the awesome price of $99 with a new contract from Sprint, or $345 outright, which is still a decent price for a 7" slate.
Design The Optik's body is extremely comfortable in the hand. It's weighty, but not unbearable, has handy grip areas behind the display, and a spacious (yet unobtrusive) bezel so you can grip the tablet without accidentally touching the screen.
Display For its size and price range, the Optik has a great display. There is a barely noticeable color cast, but overall videos and text alike look great.
The Not So Good
Video Playback The Optik seems to have a few issues with video playback, often developing audio lag or refusing to play files at all.
Button/Microphone Placement While the Optik's design is good in general, it's unclear whether the device is meant primarily for landscape or portrait use the volume rocker works as though it were placed on a portrait device, as is the microphone, which is extremely easy to cover up when holding the device in landscape orientation.
Camera While I don't believe photo or video capture are the most critical features for a tablet device, the Optik's camera could use some serious help.
