Comparisons Featuring ZTE Orbit
Short Review
- The ZTE Orbit features a compact design with dimensions of 119.4 x 63.5 x 10.2 mm and a weight of 136.4g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.0-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, suitable for basic tasks.
- Performance is driven by a 1.0 GHz CPU paired with 4GB of RAM, which allows for moderate multitasking.
