Comparisons Featuring ZTE Zinger

Short Review

  • The ZTE Zinger features a compact design with dimensions of 117.6 x 62 x 12.2 mm and a lightweight build at 110 grams, making it easy to handle.
  • Its 3.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 165 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
  • Performance is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 chipset with a dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing basic functionality for everyday use.
  • The camera system includes a 2 MP rear camera capable of video recording, but it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
  • The 1500 mAh battery supports standard usage but does not offer fast charging or wireless capabilities.
  • Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is limited by its age, lacking modern features and updates.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device does not feature water resistance and is available only in black.
  • Overall, the ZTE Zinger is a basic smartphone suitable for simple tasks but falls short in performance and camera quality compared to contemporary devices.
  • Special features are minimal, focusing on essential functions without advanced capabilities.
