The Speed 7 Plus runs on the newest Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system, which is currently the most popular platform on the market. It comes packing ZOPO's distinctive Z-UI, maintaining the Material Design language. The design offers fun, new animations, and icons but the changes in Z-UI are not just skin deep, there are many gesture controls including drawing a "C" to open the camera, or waving your hands left and right to see the next and previous photos, respectively. The notification center in Android 5.1 Lollipop
adopts card/task management. The "Allow only priority interruptions" only allows users to be alerted to certain kinds of notifications—calls, messages, events and reminders, based on your preferences. Another feature is when you are listening to music, if a call comes in the call notification will show up to ask you to accept or reject the call, and the music won't be interrupted. It also supports OTG, WiFi Display and various satellite positioning systems. Equipped with high-specs, the system runs smoothly.

GPS Test software can test the positioning ability of Speed 7 Plus. The Global Positioning System (GPS) utilizes the trilateration theory to work. Wherever you are on the planet, at least four GPS satellites are ‘visible’ at any time. Each one transmits information about its position and the current time at regular intervals. These signals, travelling at the speed of light, are intercepted by your GPS receiver, which calculates how far away each satellite is based on how long it took for the messages to arrive. Once it has information on how far
away at least three satellites are, your GPS receiver can pinpoint your location.

From the above test results, the positioning capability of Speed 7 Plus is good.
Speed 7 Plus comes with on-screen buttons. Compared to physical buttons, the on-screen buttons are customizable, look cleaner when the screen is off and user input error is reduced significantly.
In terms of optics, the Speed 7 Plus has a front 5 megapixel front camera for taking selfies and video calls and a cut-out 13.2 megapixel rear camera with LED flash, similar design to iPhone 6, which will produce high quality photos in all types of lighting conditions.
The picture-taking interface is simple and clean. It supports HDR, Zero Shutter Delay mode, Smile Shot mode, Face Detection mode and Gesture Shot mode to name a few. In
addition, the camera integrates Face Beauty 4.0, which is good news for selfie fanatics.
