ZTE Blade Review
Score: 39.6 / 100
ZTE Blade is a low-end Android cellphone, packing a fast 600 megahertz CPU, a 3.5" screen and a 3 megapixels back side camera.
ZTE decided to build this cellphone with a fast processor ticking at 600 MHz, packed into a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7227 system chip. Handling graphic calculations, it also counts with an Adreno 200 graphics processing unit speeding at 128 megahertz. This phone has a mediocre 153,6 MB internal storage, which might be adequate for basic users considering that it also has an external memory slot to store songs, photographs and videos and even some games and apps that allow being installed in the external memory.
ZTE forgot about weight optimization in this 4.59 oz phone, far heavier than other similar cellphones. This cellphone's thickness , 0.46", is quite far from today's standards, but it still feels quite right in the hand.
The ZTE Blade has a good looking 800 x 480 3.5" display, which makes everything look very good.
The ZTE Blade has only a 3 megapixels back side camera. Additionally, this cellphone's camera also includes auto-focus and geo tagging.
This phone has wi-fi capability (but it can't provide it to other devices acting as a hotspot) and fast 3G internet connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone uses a SIM card for GSM connection.
This phone also comes with some cool characteristics as Bluetooth (allows communication with other devices, computers and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and some sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.
This phone is priced around $ 168, which is a high price for a device this level.
