This is the best one we got with the Smart network (using the SmartBro Rocket SIM):ĭone at the same time of day and same location (3AM, Bangkal, Makati) previously tested on SmartBro Rocket. Our numerous speed tests in the last two weeks were a bit erratic but, in general, they were impressive to say the least. Would be a problem if you only have a WiFi phone or tablet with you when that happens.)

( Update: It will still work as long as you plug the device via USB to the PC and run Mobile Hotspot. I have not yet experienced that with this unit though. The only downside here is that if you’re having problems connecting to WiFi, you won’t be able to access the admin panel and diagnose the problem.

ZTE used a web-based administration panel for the MF60 (provided by GoAhead Webserver) and supports a lot of operating systems (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, etc).ĭevice management and even SMS management can be done via the web interface, which is great since you can send text messages thru the device over WiFi (mostly used for subscribing to data plans or balance inquiry). It auto-detects the cellular network for the SIM card so when you slap a Globe, Smart or Sun Cellular SIM, it automatically plugs in the correct APN settings. The old MyFi devices can take between 30 seconds to 1 minute to do the same. The device performs really well and connects to the network in less than 20 seconds from the Off state. The WiFi router supports speeds on the local network of up to 54Mbps and can handle a maximum of 8 wireless devices at the same time.

The device supports a slew of GSM cellular networks and frequencies, ranging from GPRS all the way up to HSPA+. There’s a small OLED display, about 2cm x 1cm, at the front that shows the battery life indicator, signal strength, connection status, cellular network, WiFi status and number of devices connected. The SIM card slot is found inside, beneath the battery compartment.

It’s got a microSD card slot on the side (up to 32GB, card sold separately) and a CRC9 port for connecting an external antenna. The MF60 comes with the usual accessories - the wall charger, 1500mAh removable Li-Ion battery, a micro-USB cable. Given these initial test data as control points, we tried out the ZTE MF60 if it can achieve similar or better results. Here’s our collective speed tests for Globe HSPA+ and Smart HSPA+. The performance, coverage and actual street speeds of the telcos are another matter altogether. Of course locally, we only have Globe promising up to 10Mbps and up to 12Mbps with Smart on their respective HSPA+ networks. That means you can theoretically reach as fast as 21Mbps over mobile internet.

Unlike the previous ones we’ve seen and reviewed here, this one actually supports HSPA+ networks - just like the Tonino Lamborghini Tattoo stick and the Smart Bro Rocket.

The ZTE MF60 looks like your typical portable mobile hotspot device - small, lightweight, bar soap shaped 3G/WiFi router. Like many other pocket WiFi (MiFi) devices before it, the ZTE MF60 is one pretty kick-ass unit. We featured this HSPA+ capable mobile hotspot from ZTE a few weeks ago and we’ve finally gotten a review unit to test.
