Nowadays, many people choose smartphones with good specifications at an average price. And few people want to buy a completely budget device, too weak not to pull all those applications that we are used to.

The ZTE Blade V20 smartphone is the very product with good functionality and a reasonable price.In our review you can familiarize yourself with the main characteristics of this gadget.

A little about the company

Perhaps the name of the enterprise is not on everyone's lips, unlike Samsung or Apple, but ZTE Corporation was founded in the winter of 1985 in the Middle Kingdom. It is the second company after Huawei from the PRC, producing communication equipment and mobile gadgets.

This Chinese company produces everything that is required for communication and does it very well. No wonder ZTE has 14 research laboratories located in different countries. And once, back in 1986, the development department consisted of only eight specialists.

If you look at the Fortune-500 list, you can find out that the services provided by the corporation are used by the world's major telecom operators.

This ambitious company that produces reliable and quality products continues to delight consumers with new smartphones at affordable prices.

ZTE Blade V20 smartphone review

Camera

A single main camera is not in trend, and a dual camera is hardly surprising now, so ZTE immediately decided to put a triple camera. What a coincidence for the "modest fruit" company, and also the main locomotive of the mobile market, the last model also has a triple camera.

But seriously, the decision to divide the cameras according to purpose is not without common sense. In the ZTE Blade V20, the manufacturers have distributed the cameras as follows:

• 16 MP - main module with autofocus;
• 8 megapixel - super wide angle camera;
• 2 MP - image depth sensor.

Creating the BladeV20, ZTE did not pursue megapixels, rightly deciding not to make a camera phone out of it. Fortunately, there are other suitable models in the manufacturer's lineup. In addition to the three sensors for shooting at night, there is an LED backlight.

The front camera is also without frills and is represented by a single module located on a drop-shaped ledge at the top of the screen. The matrix with a resolution of 5 megapixels is quite sufficient for video calls, and it will do just fine to fix your hair. You shouldn't expect high-quality selfies from her.

• triple camera.

• average front camera.

Screen

The mid-budget range imposes its limitations on the screen. Although this model uses an IPS matrix, it pleasantly surprises with its viewing angles and color rendition. This is a completely justified decision of the manufacturer, it is stupid to put an AMOLED display and a rather mediocre rest of the filling in one body.
To some, the resolution of the ZTE Blade V20 will seem small - only 720 x 1560 pixels with a diagonal of 6.1 inches.

In our age, it is difficult to surprise someone with an HD picture, but this solution also has a flip side of the coin, with a low screen resolution the load on the graphics core is significantly reduced. This means that a phone with equal characteristics with a lower resolution will render a picture a little faster.

The aspect ratio of 19.5: 9 is comfortable enough for surfing the Internet. But when watching modern films shot for 21.5: 9 screens, black bars will be observed at the top and bottom of the screen. Who is it annoying - welcome to the higher price category, where video aesthetes will be able to find devices that caress the eye with a picture without stripes.

• favorable aspect ratio of the screen for Internet surfing;

• lack of high quality pictures when watching videos.

Filling

Let's make a reservation right away, this smartphone in no way positions itself as a gaming model, so it is difficult to expect that the manufacturer will equip it with top-end hardware. Technomaniacs will be disappointed, but the installed filling will be enough for ordinary users. So, the ZTE Blade V20 will be based on an eight-core MediaTek Helio P70 2.0 GHz processor.

On the graphical front, the Mali-G72 core is at work. The company from the Celestial Empire decided not to waste time on trifles and release only one modification in terms of the amount of built-in and RAM, but which one is 64 GB of built-in and 4 GB of RAM. Not every model can boast of such a RAM. And if someone thinks the built-in memory is small, it can be easily expanded using a memory card.

The specification indicates support for removable media up to 256 GB.

• 64 GB of internal memory and 4 GB of RAM;
• Supports removable media.

• non-play model.

Design

"We will not experiment with design, we will simply collect everything we need in one case." So it was decided in the producing company.

The smartphone is practically the standard of the classic candy bar from the Chamber of Weights and Measures. Behind the camera module and a fingerprint scanner, on the side faces there are power buttons, volume controls and a SIM card slot.

The entire front surface is a touch screen, a selfie camera on the "bangs" on top. On the bottom there is a USB Type-C connector for charging and data transfer and a headphone jack.

The back cover has two colors: blue and black. Both are made in the currently fashionable glossy style.

• stylish and laconic appearance;
• several colors in gloss.

• not found.

Connections

The ZTE Blade V20 has in its arsenal the necessary communications solutions for the average user today.

Of the frank minuses - the lack of a module for contactless payment NFC, but on the other hand, its presence would negatively affect the price of the product.

And so for a comfortable and carefree life we ​​have:

• GSM / HSPA / LTE bands;
• Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n / ac;
• Bluetooth 4.2, A2DP, LE;
• A-GPS, GLONASS;
• FM receiver.

Someone will say that the version of the Bluetooth module is old, but show at least one person who would only need the 5th version of the "blue tooth".

The pluses include the headphone jack, which the company has created so that the music on the wires will warm our ears for a long time.

• satisfies the needs of modern consumers regarding communications;
• a connector that allows you to listen to music through headphones.

• lack of a module for contactless payment.

Autonomy

And here the second largest Chinese company that produces mobile devices made a really generous gift to users. There are not many 5000 mAh devices on the market, especially in the mid-range.

According to information from the presentation, a smartphone on a fully charged battery will be able to provide two days of active use or a whole month of standby time. The device itself supports fast charging. The 18W charger will be a nice addition.

• battery capacity 5000 mAh;
• powerful charger.

• not found.

System

The control of this device was entrusted to the Android 9.0 system, hidden under the proprietary MiFavor 9.0 shell. It is also a completely understandable decision - Android 10 has just been released and is still in the running-in stage, and our "workhorse" needs stability.

Although there is a possibility that ZTE will delight consumers in the future by updating the system to version 10.

• reliable system;

• not detected.

Price

According to insider reports, the price of this device should be quite democratic and will not exceed $ 140. The official presentation will take place at the end of October 2019.

At the same time, the final specification, price, release dates and timing of retailing will be announced.

Output

Being a completely "mediocre" device, this smartphone will still find its buyer, who does not need cool features and top-end hardware.

The ZTE Blade V20 is primarily aimed at the user who prefers battery life and ease of management. Adequate price will add popularity to this device.

For those looking for something cooler, ZTE is ready to provide its other products. The company has taken care to meet the needs of various segments of the population.
