Comparisons Featuring ZTE Blade III
Short Review
- The ZTE Blade III features a compact design with dimensions of 123 x 63.5 x 10 mm and a weight of 130 grams, available in black and white.
- Its 4.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon S1 chipset, a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU, and 512MB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera with autofocus, but lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- Battery capacity stands at 1600 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
- The device runs on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), providing a basic user experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers may affect audio quality, while the inclusion of a headphone jack is a positive feature.
- Overall, the ZTE Blade III is a straightforward device with essential features for basic usage.
