ZTE
Blade A1
ZTE has added a new member to its Blade family of affordably priced
smartphones. At an event in China the Blade A1 became official.
This
is a small handset that comes packing a fingerprint scanner on its back. It
also has a design slightly reminiscent of the iPhone 5c and an incredibly
glossy plastic build. The
Blade A1 will cost just CNY 599 (US$ 93 or € 85) when it goes on sale on
December 11.
It
has a 5-inch 720p touchscreen, a 13 MP rear camera with LED flash, an 8 MP
selfie snapper, the MediaTek MT6735 chipset (with 1.3 GHz octa-core Cortex-A53
CPU), 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of expandable storage, and a 2,800 mAh battery. It runs
ZTE's MiFavor 3.2 on top of Android 5.1 Lollipop.
Its
dimensions are 142 x 70.2 x 8.9 mm. It will be available in Smart White,
Vibrant Yellow, Dream Green, Cool Blue, and Space Grey. The A1
has a chance of making it to places outside of China too.
