Comparisons Featuring ZTE V96
Short Review
- The ZTE V96 features a simple black design with a sturdy build, although specific materials and dimensions are not detailed.
- Its 10.1-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 800 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 149 ppi, but lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 Plus chipset with a dual-core 1.7 GHz Krait CPU and Adreno 225 GPU, paired with 1GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus, while the front-facing camera is a basic 2 MP, suitable for simple selfies.
- Battery specifications are unspecified, and there is no indication of fast charging or wireless charging features.
- The device runs on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), which is outdated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The absence of stereo speakers may affect audio quality, though it does include a headphone jack.
- Overall, the ZTE V96 is a basic tablet with essential features but limited performance and outdated software.
