New Smartphones coming to Tracfone |
Tracfone is getting busy releasing new smartphones for consumers to use on their prepaid service and we are excited by a number of new mid-level phones by ZTE and Alcatel that will be coming to Tracfone.
New ZTE, Alcatel and Huawei Devices Coming to Tracfone – 2016
ZTE Scend Z791G
The Scend is a GSM device that comes with a 4.5″ screen, Android 4.4 and 4G connectivity. It isn’t overly exciting, but should be available for a reasonable price. It appears to only have about 2 GB usable memory, which may be a serious drawback for some.

ZTE Citrine Z716G
Featuring only a 4″ touchscreen, the Citrine makes up for it with Android 5.1, 4G LTE, quad-core processor and 8 GB internal memory. It uses GSM networks, which will be AT&T through Tracfone.
Compared to the Scend, the Citrine is better in just about every way if you don’t mind the smaller screen. It is also currently available for just $29 through Tracfone.
There will also be a CDMA version of this phone, the Z717C.
Availability: Currently available from Walmart for $49 or available from Tracfone for $29. Will likely be available from other retailers as well.
ZTE Lever Z936VL
Here’s a phone that caught our attention, the ZTE Lever. It has a large, 6″ touchscreen, 16 GB internal memory, an 8 MP camera, and uses CDMA technology. The only drawback is that it appears to run the older, Android 4.4.
The Lever is retailing for $179, which also includes 1200 minutes and other add-ons. If you’re looking for a large screen, this has pretty good bang for your buck. The other option might be the LG Stylo 2 which was just released (also on HSN) and has a 5.7″ touchscreen.

ZTE Paragon Z753G
The Paragon comes with a 4″ touchscreen, Android 4.4 and a 5MP camera. Most of the features on the Paragon are not overly exciting, and it is similar to the ZTE Scend. The Paragon is the GSM version of the ZTE Zypher, which was released in 2015 and we already reviewed. Go check our review if you want to learn more, the only difference between these phones is which network they will use (CDMA or GSM).

Availability: Currently available on the Tracfone website for $29.99.
ZTE Whirl 2
Another Budget friendly smartphone, the Whirl 2 comes with Android 4.3, a 3.5″ touchscreen, and 3 MP camera. None of these features are all that impressive, but it does have a quad-core 1.2 Ghz processor. This smartphone has one of the smallest screens, but might be a good option for those who just need a phone for making and receiving calls.
Availability: Currently available on the Tracfone website for $40
ZTE Stratos Z819L
The Stratos is a phone we really like, because it has enough ‘good’ features that will make it very usable for most people, while still available for a good price.
What kind of features? Well it comes with a 5″ touchscreen, Android 5.1, and a 5 MP camera. The Stratos also has 8 GB internal memory and has 4G LTE using CDMA networks.
The ZTE Stratos is currently on sale for $79 from HSN and comes with 1200 minutes – worth $100 by itself. If you’re really interested in this phone, you should act quickly, as the price will probably go up to $99 soon.

Availability: Currently available from HSN.com with airtime bundle for $79
ZTE ZMAX 2 Z955L
It is a bit more expensive than the Stratos, listed at $149 with airtime bundle from HSN, and it is currently out of stock. But it should be for sale again soon.

Availability: Currently out of stock, listed for $149 from HSN
Alcatel Onetouch Pixi Eclipse
The Pixi Eclipse has a 4″ touchscreen, Android 4.4 and a 2 MP camera. It is a budget friendly phone that is low on any exciting features. For most people, some of the other more powerful phones listed above, will probably be a better option.
Availability: Currently available on the Tracfone website for $39.
There are several other Alcatel smartphones that appear to be coming sometime in the near future and have better features. We will update as we learn more.
Huawei Nexus 6P (H1511DL)
Here’s a phone some Tracfone customers will be very excited about. When we first saw this phone listed on the Tracfone tutorial site, we didn’t recognize it because it was listed as the Huawei H1511DL. But after some quick digging we realized it was the Nexus 6P.
You might be asking, so whats so special about the Nexus 6P? Well, it comes with a number of great features, like a 5.7″ touchscreen, 12 MP camera, 3 GB RAM, and much more. It is also special because Huawei made the phone in a partnership with Google, and Nexus phones generally come with less pre-installed apps and other annoying things.
All this will likely come at a cost, and we suspect the Nexus 6P from Tracfone will be listed for somewhere around $500. If you really want this phone with Tracfone, but don’t want to pay the price they will charge, you might be able to find refurbished options for less, and bring it to Tracfone’s BYOP program.
Availability: The Nexus 6P is currently not available from Tracfone, but we will update as soon as more news is available.
That concludes this list of phones coming soon, and already available. We will be working hard to continue updating with the latest news and details.
