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.
- The rear camera offers 5 MP with autofocus and can record video at 720p@30fps, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The battery capacity is 1600 mAh, providing limited longevity without fast charging or wireless capabilities.
- Running on Microsoft Windows Phone 7.5 Tango II, the software experience is dated but functional for basic applications.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, and NFC, though it does not support 5G.
- The device lacks water resistance and stereo speakers, and it includes a headphone jack for audio.
- Overall, the ZTE Orbit is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for light users.
