Short Review

  • The ZTE Anthem 4G features a compact design with dimensions of 130.1 x 68.1 x 13.7 mm and a weight of 189.9g, making it relatively portable.
  • Its 4.3-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 217 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
