ZTE launches all-metal Blade V7 and V7 Lite smartphones

China's ZTE, the world's sixth largest smartphone maker, is introducing new value-priced phone models and aims to sell between 60 million and 70 million devices overall this year, an executive said on Monday. It has a 5.2-inch, 1080p display with curved glass edges and a 78.2-percent body to screen ratio for easier one-handed use. The Blade V7 runs the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow, which is commendable and makes for one up-to-date device. MediaTek's MT6753 64-bit octa-core processor fuels this handset, along with the Mali-T720 GPU.

As yet there are no details on pricing on these new Blade V7 smartphones from ZTE, as soon as we get some more details, we will let you guys know. The rear camera has a 13 MP sensor with phase-detection auto-focus that can focus in 0.3 seconds and dual-tone flash, while the front camera has a 5 MP sensor. Two SIM card slots are available on the inside of the Blade V7 Lite, and a 2,500mAh battery is also a part of the package. Out of the two the Blade V7 is most striking with an all-metal design that instantly catches the eye. "These devices are just the latest milestones in how ZTE will bring imagination and beyond to ignite our users' mobile lives", said Jacky Zhang, CEO of EMEA and APAC, ZTE Mobile Devices.

On the imaging front, the Blade V7 Lite offers an 8-Megapixel primary sensor and an 8-Megapixel secondary sensor as well and thankfully both come paired with a LED flash.

This device will launch first in Russian Federation and then will be available in Mexico, Spain, Germany, and Thailand by spring, according to ZTE.

Smaller than the Blade V7 with a 5-inch display, the Blade V7's features are anything but "lite". In addition to security, the fingerprint sensor can be used to launch apps and handle some phone navigation. Like the Blade V7, the V7 Lite also comes equipped with a powerful camera and Smart Sense gesture control. The Blade V7 comes in Gold and Silver color options, and it will be available for purchase in Germany, Spain, Ethiopia, South Africa and Mexico in the summer, but ZTE still hasn't released any pricing info for it. As overseas users have higher requirements for product quality, the success of Blade is highly significant.
