Comparisons Featuring ZTE Blade X3
Short Review
- The ZTE Blade X3 features a compact design with dimensions of 145 x 71.5 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 160.9g, available in black and gold.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6735P chipset with a quad-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and 1GB of RAM, suitable for basic tasks.
- The device includes an 8 MP rear camera with autofocus, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, and a 5 MP front-facing camera for selfies.
- A robust 4000 mAh battery ensures extended usage, although it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 5.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is straightforward but lacks the latest features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and a microUSB 2.0 port, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers is noted, but it retains a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the ZTE Blade X3 is a functional device with essential features for everyday use.
