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.
