ZTE Blade D Lux
ZTE has launched a new smartphone in its
Blade series of affordable offerings. It's called Blade D Lux, and so far it's
only been made available in Vietnam and Singapore.
The D Lux is a lower-midrange product,
as you'd expect from the Blade line. It comes with a 5.5-inch 720p touchscreen
with 2.5D glass on top, a 13 MP rear camera with LED flash, an 8 MP selfie cam,
the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset (with a 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU), 2 GB of RAM,
16 GB of expandable storage, LTE, and a 3,000 mAh battery.
It runs Android Lollipop, though whether
that's 5.0 or 5.1 is up for debate, since both version numbers show up in
different parts of the ZTE website. The Chinese company is clearly aiming this
one at young people, and especially selfie lovers thanks to the high-res
front-facing snapper.
The Blade D Lux can be had in Vietnam
for VND 3.89 million, which currently translates into US$ 173 or € 159. Over in
Singapore, the device will be sold by the M1 carrier for SGD 239 (US$ 166, € 152).
