Comparisons Featuring ZTE V81

Short Review

  • The ZTE V81 features a simple design with a black finish and dimensions of 200 x 156 x 11.1 mm, making it relatively portable despite its thickness.
  • Its 8.0-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 768 x 1024 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 160 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
  • Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 Plus chipset with a dual-core 1.4 GHz Krait CPU and 4GB of RAM, allowing for basic multitasking.
  • The Adreno 225 GPU supports light gaming and media playback, but the overall performance may feel limited by modern standards.
  • The rear camera is a 2 MP shooter that can capture video, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
  • Battery capacity stands at 3700 mAh, providing decent longevity without fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated, lacking many modern features.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The absence of stereo speakers and the presence of a headphone jack are notable for audio output.
  • Overall, the ZTE V81 is a basic tablet with limited capabilities suitable for simple tasks.
