Learn more about the features of the external design and parameters of the key characteristics of ZTE Blade 20 will tell the contents of this article.

Features of the external design

It should be noted that the "Chinese" has a modern appearance. Full-screen, minimalistic frames, a teardrop-shaped cutout on the front panel, stylization for iPhone of the rear camera block are the key features of the model in question.

Specifications

Display

The gadget is equipped with a touch screen, which by modern standards does not differ in impressive parameters. So, the diagonal size is 6.49″. Resolution corresponds to HD+ quality (720*1560 pixels). If we correlate these indicators, we can conclude that the ideal clarity of the image cannot be realized. However, this shortcoming can easily be transformed into a plus: since the graphics adapter will not be heavily loaded, the device can be used as a means of implementing gaming processes at maximum settings.

The IPS matrix used in the phone implements wide viewing angles that are comfortable for the user's visual perception and an excellent level of color reproduction (this is the technology preferred by experienced professionals in video editing, photography and graphics when organizing professional activities).

The display is allocated 82.9% of the total surface area of ​​the front panel as a percentage. At the same time, the proportion of height and width corresponds to the standard ratio, which is inherent in the vast majority of currently produced devices - 19.5 to 9. With its help, a comfortable visual perception of photos, videos, text and graphics is realized. This format is also convenient for those who are not averse to playing their favorite game on their mobile phone.

• an auxiliary portrait module with a resolution of 2 MP, which allows you to realize the bokeh effect;
• the third sensor, which has a resolution of 8 MP, is equipped with a wide-angle lens with 120° viewing angles.

With the help of the rear camera, you can shoot a panorama, as well as organize work in HDR mode. Video files are recorded in 1080p@30fps format.

In the equipment of the front camera, located in the latest fashion in a teardrop-shaped cutout, a single sensor device with a resolution of 8 megapixels and an aperture of f / 2.4.

The front camera will help you record video in 1080p@30fps mode.

For lovers of listening to music on FM waves, a radio is provided.

The smartphone is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 version.

The ZTE Blade 20 does not use the NFC chip that is relevant in the realities of the present day, so the owner of the smartphone will not be able to use the device as a means of making contactless payments, passing it off as a bank card or travel pass in transport.
