A modern smartphone is very complicated.a device that should have "under the hood" all the new items from the world of the mobile industry. However, not all budget devices and devices of the middle price segment can be called universal. However, this statement is in no way related to our today's hero. The ZTE Blade V7 Lite mobile phone, the characteristics of which we will analyze below, although it belongs to the devices of the middle price segment, but is truly universal. And you will see it soon. In the meantime, we consider in more detail the company ZTE. What is she like?
The Chinese company ZTE was founded in 1985.At that time she was engaged in the release of telecommunications equipment. The first smartphone was released in 2010. It was branded and produced by order of Russian cellular operators. Then came the time of the first branded tablet "Beeline M2". The company also delivered 3G-modems for the needs of Russian cellular operators. The first independent smartphone under the ZTE brand was released in 2011. Since that time, began the history of mobile gadgets of this manufacturer. A striking example of quality devices manufacturer from the Middle Kingdom is ZTE Blade v7 Lite. Characteristics of his allow to call this device one of the most worthy in the line of smartphones ZTE.
The most interesting thing is that a controlling stakeThe enterprise belongs to the Chinese state. This means that the quality control in ZTE is appropriate. However, among the smartphones of this company a lot of "gray" products, which are imported into Russia and the CIS countries. Therefore, you need to be very careful when buying a smartphone from this company. Original devices do not suffer from a lack of quality, like "gray" models. It is better to purchase these devices in branded points of sale. It is there that there is a guarantee of quality. The company ZTE, in principle, is well known to domestic fans of mobile devices. Therefore, it does not need a special presentation. And now let's take a closer look at the characteristics of the ZTE Blade v7 Lite phone. What kind of "beast" is this?
The appearance of this smartphone is very similar to the externalMeizu M3 S. view. It seems that they were riveted at one factory. Only label image changed. On the front side there is a five-inch screen, covered with 2.5D tempered glass. This is now such a fashion. Each manufacturer supplies its devices with such glass. Under the screen is a button "Home". It is sensory and made in the form of an illuminated circle. In the corporate style of ZTE. On the sides of this circle are still navigation buttons, which are generally not visible without the backlight. A very interesting decision. But with such control elements, the device is very reminiscent of the “iPhone”. Albeit without a mechanical button. Above the screen is a speaker grid, a front camera and the required number of sensors. Such is the corporate identity of ZTE Blade v7 Lite. Characteristics of it will be dismantled a little later.
We now turn to the back of the device.The cover is fixed, made of the so-called "aviation" aluminum of the 7000th series. The strength of the cover is satisfactory. Push it to the battery is impossible. The most prominent place is occupied by the camera module. Next to it is a two-color flash of LEDs, and just below it is a fingerprint scanner. In the lower sector of the cover are two speaker grids. But make no mistake. There is only one speaker. The second grid is made for beauty. Mechanical type control elements (volume control buttons) are located on the left side of the device. Such a decision is very doubtful in terms of ergonomics. Especially when you consider that the power button is on the opposite end. Now let's take a closer look at ZTE Blade v7 Lite and features. A review of the model continues.
What is on board ZTE Blade v7 Lite?Technical specifications from the manufacturer indicate that the device has a 64-bit quad-core processor from MTK with a clock frequency of 1300 megahertz and the index MT6735P. It is necessary to immediately say that this processor does not shine with performance. There are "stones" are much more powerful and cheaper. However, we will not quibble. The developers decided to provide the device with 2 gigabytes of RAM. This is more than enough for all applications and most games. Although in especially resource-demanding toys you will have to unscrew the graphic effects to a minimum. Even despite the fact that the smartphone has an advanced graphics chip Mali T-720. A weak processor simply does not allow it to fully reveal itself.
The rest of the "iron" components can be attributed16 GB internal storage. True, only 10 are available to the user. But there is support for Micro SD memory cards up to 32 gigabytes. The device supports the sixth generation LTE communication standard, has a high-speed Bluetooth and Wi-Fi transmitter, a lightning-fast fingerprint scanner, a relatively loud speaker, light and proximity sensors, and a 2500 mAh battery. The latter fact, by the way, is very depressing. With such characteristics, it is supposed to have a battery at least 3000 mAh. Then the battery life will be much better. However, the engineers decided that this would be quite enough for ZTE Blade v7 Lite Gray LTE. Autonomy characteristics let us down a bit. But let's move on to other parameters of the smartphone.
В смартфоне установлен дисплей с IPS-матрицей.This allows the gadget to correctly transfer colors, and the user does not bother with viewing angles. They are pretty impressive here. Screen size is 5 inches. The resolution is 1280 by 720 pixels (HD). The screen is quite good in ZTE Blade v7 Lite. Features and photos prove it convincingly. For example, the display contrast is 800 to 1. And this is almost the only case where the parameters declared by the manufacturer do not differ from the real ones. Display brightness is enough to ensure that all information is visible under direct sunlight. Also, the screen has an anti-reflective coating, which is very good for using the gadget in the sun. No matter how bright the light, everything will still be visible. And this is another merit of engineers ZTE.
The features of the screen should also be attributedproprietary option Mira Vision, which allows you to change the color of the display for the better. At least that's what ZTE engineers thought. But in reality, this option only changes the “warmth” of the image. And the point of white color does not change. In general, it looks all pretty scary. Therefore, such a "chip" is better not to use. Take care of your eyes. These are the basic parameters of the screen smartphone ZTE Blade v7 Lite. Characteristics are pretty good, but still far from ideal. We now turn to the camera apparatus.
The main camera is a 13-megapixellight module. It does not shine with special advantages, but it allows you to get quite high-quality images even with a hint of blurring the background. However, upon closer examination, it is clear that the picture is somewhat blurred around the edges. In modern smartphones (which claim to be "medium"), this state of affairs is unacceptable. Nevertheless, the camera of this smartphone is quite suitable for everyday shooting. In addition to photos, the camera is capable of recording video in HD. And this is when the closest competitors easily cope with Full HD. So, the main camera ZTE Blade v7 Lite has weak characteristics. The review continues. Go to the front photomodule.
Front camera has at its disposal8 megapixel wide-angle, high-aperture module. Is it a lot or a little? Let's just say, for selfies and chatting on Skype, this camera is enough with your head. In the photo taken by the front camera, a funny effect is noticeable: the face is somewhat blurred, like after using the appropriate filter. Probably, the company's engineers decided that it would be better. But in fact, everything looks very different. The camera also can write HD video. It's not bad too. However, due to the fact that there are not very many megapixels in the arsenal of the photo module, the video is obtained with artifacts. In principle, it was expected. In ZTE Blade v7 Lite, the characteristics of the front camera are not so hot either. But now we move on to the operating system and software platform.
On board v7 installed operating system"Android" version 6.0. However, you will not find a standard design here, because the engineers of the company decided to clothe this OS in the original Mifavour shell. It looks somewhat coarse and in terms of the adequacy of the arrangement of the elements looks very doubtful. But some like it. Despite the third-party shell, the sixth "Android" behaves well on this device. Glitches and hangs are not noticed. Although this, apparently, the merit of the hardware platform. A distinctive feature of the software platform is that the company continues to update the "Android" of the smartphone to the latest version, although usually outdated models are not updated. And here is another advantage of ZTE Blade v7 Lite Gold. The characteristics of the software platform are quite personal.
The device is equipped with a non-removable lithium-ion2500 mAh battery. Is it a lot or a little? Unfortunately, the manufacturer has not enlightened potential buyers about how much a smartphone is able to work in standby mode and under maximum load. Therefore, we have to focus on the reviews of the owners. According to the statement of some users, the device quietly works all day in the intensive load mode (constantly switched on data transfer, full screen brightness and powerful applications in the background). The device is also quite enough for 10 hours of video playback with the maximum brightness of the screen. Listening to music is possible within 48 hours. Although it also plays a role and the type of headphones used. But 24 hours is exactly guaranteed. Battery - this is what the engineers ZTE turned out exactly as it should. Even despite its power, the device turned out to be surprisingly "tenacious." Honor and praise to the engineers of the company for this.
We now turn to the most interesting - reviews abouta smartphone. It should be noted that the positive and negative comments on v7 Lite are approximately equal. However, positive reviews extol him to the skies, and negative trample in the mud. How to understand which of the reviews are real? Let's try to figure it out. Let's start with positive feedback. So, many owners of this miracle of Chinese engineering note the incredible build quality, which is very difficult to find in Chinese entry-level smartphones. And here they are absolutely right. The device is really assembled soundly. There are no slots in the case, the buttons do not creak and are easily pressed. And high-quality materials only improve the perception of this model as very decent. Also, well-wishers of this device note a very high-quality and convenient in size screen. I must say that most users are terribly annoying modern "shovels". Therefore, it is much more convenient for them to have a five-inch screen. Just like in this ZTE.
We now turn to performance reviews.devices. Here, opinions differ, but everyone acknowledges that the power of the gadget is quite enough not only for everyday tasks, but also for some games. Nevertheless, the graphics settings will have to unscrew to a minimum. However, those who purchased the device, understood that it was not designed for heavy games. There are also many positive reviews about the operation of the fingerprint sensor. It works at lightning speed and quickly reads information. In addition, it can not only unlock the phone, but also protect some applications. The quality of communication also received praise. The owners were particularly pleased with the presence of support for the LTE communication standard. This, given the current trends, is a highly desirable option even in budget phones. So, with positive reviews, everything is clear. Users are terribly happy with the device they have chosen. Now we will listen to those whom this device did not suit.
Like any other device, ZTE Blade v7 Lite,Characteristics and reviews of the model have a certain number of "haters" who scold him in every way. What is the reason for such hatred? Most negative reviews about this smartphone are not worth a damn, because they are written by those who wanted to get a flagship for a ridiculous amount. Naturally, their hopes were not justified. Therefore, they throw mud at the apparatus. Constructive criticism among these hateful comments is extremely small. But pay attention to those who look the most adequate. So, the weakest point of the smartphone is the camera. This is understandable without any feedback. The owners complain that in the conditions of insufficient visitation, terrible noises and artifacts are hidden. This is a known problem. To use this gadget as a fortoapparat is strictly not recommended. The next complaint is that users blame no sound at all: what is in dynamics, what is in headphones. Of course, the v7 Lite sound does not shine. But in the headphones with certain equalizer settings it is still quite nothing.
Another common complaint is unaccustomed.interface of the operating system ZTE Blade v7 Lite. Characteristics and description of the phone say that here the developers made a blunder. It would be better to leave the standard Android design. He looks much neater. Also, many complain about the strong heating of the case when working with demanding applications. Interestingly, not everybody mentions this problem. Most likely, people just got a model with a factory marriage. If the problem were massive, then everyone would complain about the strong heating of the case. Nevertheless, the device is an excellent budget solution in a metal case. Even considering all his flaws. Low cost all covers them.
So, we looked at the budget smartphone ZTE Bladev7 Lite. Its technical characteristics quite allow using the gadget both for work and for games. He also easily copes with the playback of multimedia content. And if you look at the price, it turns out that this unit is the best in terms of price-quality ratio. Yes, and in a metal case. The price is very good for a universal device from the middle segment. An important advantage is the timely software update.
