Short Review

  • The ZTE Skate Acqua features a simple design with a 4.0-inch TFT display, offering a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels and a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi.
  • Its build is basic, available in black and white, but lacks water resistance and premium materials.
  • Performance is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon S1 chipset, with a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU and Adreno 200 GPU, complemented by 4GB of storage and 512MB of RAM.
  • The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera capable of 720p video recording, but it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
  • Battery life is supported by a 1600 mAh capacity, but it does not offer fast charging or wireless charging options.
  • The device runs on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), providing a dated software experience without modern features.
  • 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 and the presence of a headphone jack are notable features.
  • Overall, the ZTE Skate Acqua is a basic smartphone that meets minimal requirements for everyday use.
  • Its specifications reflect its 2012 release, making it suitable for users with limited demands.
