Overview of the main characteristics of the smartphone ZTE Blade V20

Life without smartphones in the modern world is not possible. Consumers are spoiled for innovation from leading and trusted gadget manufacturers.
Now many people choose smartphones with good characteristics, at an average price. And few people want to buy a completely budget device, too weak to not pull all those applications that we are used to.

The ZTE Blade V20 smartphone is the very product with good functionality and reasonable price. In our review you can get acquainted with the main characteristics of this gadget.

A little about the company

Perhaps the name of the enterprise is not widely known, unlike Samsung or Apple, but ZTE Corporation was founded in the winter of 1985 in China. It is the second company after Huawei from China, producing communication equipment and mobile gadgets.

This Chinese company produces everything that is required for communication and does it very well.No wonder ZTE has 14 research laboratories located in different countries. And once, back in 1986, the development department consisted of only eight specialists.

If you look at the Fortune-500 list, you can find out that the services provided by the corporation are used by the world's largest telecom operators.

This ambitious company, which produces reliable and high-quality products, continues to delight consumers with new smartphones at affordable prices.

Overview of the smartphone ZTE Blade V20

Camera

A single main camera is not in trend, and a double one is hardly surprising now, so ZTE immediately decided to put a triple one. What a coincidence the "modest fruit" company, and concurrently the main locomotive of the mobile market, also has a triple camera on the latest model.

But seriously, the decision to separate the cameras according to their purpose is not without common sense. So in the ZTE Blade V20, manufacturers distributed the cameras as follows:

• 16 MP - main module with autofocus;
• 8 MP - super widescreen camera;
• 2 MP - image depth sensor.

Creating the BladeV20, ZTE did not pursue megapixels, rightly deciding not to make a camera phone out of it. Fortunately, there are other suitable models in the manufacturer's lineup. In addition to the three sensors for shooting at night, there is a backlight LED.

The front camera is also without frills and is represented by a single module located on a drop-shaped ledge at the top of the screen. A matrix with a resolution of 5 megapixels is quite sufficient for video calls, and it will do just to fix your hair. Don't expect high-quality selfies from it.

• triple camera.

• average front camera.

Screen

The mid-budget range also imposes its limitations on the screen. Although this model uses an IPS matrix, it pleasantly surprises with its viewing angles and color reproduction. This is a completely justified decision by the manufacturer, it is stupid to put an AMOLED display and a rather mediocre other stuffing in one case.
To some, the resolution of the ZTE Blade V20 will seem small - only 720 x 1560 pixels with a diagonal of 6.1 inches.

In our age, it is difficult to surprise someone with an HD picture, but this solution also has a downside, with a low screen resolution, the load on the graphics core is significantly reduced. And this means that the phone, with equal characteristics with a lower resolution, will draw a picture a little faster.

The aspect ratio of 19.5:9 is comfortable enough for surfing the Internet. But when viewing modern films shot for 21.5:9 screens, black bars will be observed at the top and bottom of the screen. Who cares - welcome to the highest price category, where video aesthetes will be able to find devices that caress the eye with a picture without stripes.

• favorable aspect ratio of the screen for Internet surfing;

• lack of high quality pictures when watching a video.

Filling

Let’s make a reservation right away, this smartphone is by no means positioning itself as a gaming model, so it’s hard to expect that the manufacturer will equip it with top-end hardware. Technomaniacs will be disappointed, but the installed filling will be enough for ordinary users. So, the ZTE Blade V20 will be based on an eight-core MediaTek Helio P70 2.0 GHz processor.

On the graphics front, the Mali-G72 core is working. The company from the Celestial Empire decided not to waste time on trifles and release only one modification in terms of the amount of built-in and RAM, but which one is 64 GB of internal and 4 GB of RAM. Not every model can boast of such RAM. And if the amount of built-in memory seems small to someone, it can easily be expanded using a memory card.

The specification indicates support for removable media up to 256 GB.

• 64 GB internal memory and 4 GB RAM;
• supports removable media.

• non-game model.

Design

“We will not experiment with the design, we will just collect everything we need in one case.” So decided in the issuing company.

The smartphone is practically the standard of the classic candy bar from the Chamber of Weights and Measures. Behind the camera module and a fingerprint scanner, on the side faces are the power button, volume control and SIM card slot.

The entire front surface is a touch screen, a selfie camera on the “bangs” on top. On the bottom edge there is a USB Type-C connector for charging and data transfer and a headphone jack.

There are two color solutions for the design of the back cover: blue and black. Both are made in a currently fashionable glossy style.

• stylish and concise appearance;
• several colors in gloss.

• not detected.

Connections

ZTE Blade V20 has in its arsenal the necessary solutions in the field of communications today for the average user.

From frank minuses - the absence of a module for NFC contactless payment, but on the other hand, its presence would have a negative impact on the price of the product.

And so for a comfortable and carefree life we ​​have:

• GSM / HSPA / LTE bands;
• Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac;
• Bluetooth 4.2, A2DP, LE;
• A-GPS, GLONASS;
• FM receiver.

Someone will say that the version of the Bluetooth module is old, but show at least one person who would need only the 5th version of the blue tooth.

The pluses include the headphone jack, which the company created so that music over the wires warms our ears for a long time.

• satisfies the needs of modern consumers regarding communications;
• connector that allows you to listen to music through headphones.

• no module for contactless payment.

autonomy

And here, the second largest Chinese company that produces mobile devices, gave users a really generous gift. There are not many devices on the market with a capacity of 5000 mAh, especially in the middle price category.

According to information from the presentation, a smartphone on a fully charged battery will be able to provide two days of active use or a whole month of standby time. The device itself supports fast charging. A nice addition would be an 18W charger.

• battery capacity 5000 mAh;
• powerful charger.

• not detected.

System

The Android 9.0 system, hidden under the proprietary MiFavor 9.0 shell, was entrusted to manage this device. It’s also a completely understandable solution - Android 10 just came out and is still at the testing stage, and our “workhorse” needs stability.

Although there is a possibility that ZTE will delight consumers in the future by updating the system to version 10.

• reliable system;

• not detected.

Price

According to insider reports, the price of this device should be quite affordable and will not exceed $140. The official presentation will take place at the end of October 2019.

At the same time, the final specification, price, release dates and terms of receipt in retail trade networks will be announced.

Conclusion

Being a completely “average” device, this smartphone will still find its buyer, who does not need cool features and top-end hardware.

ZTE Blade V20 is primarily aimed at the user who prefers battery life and ease of management. Adequate price will add popularity to this device.

For those who are looking for something cool, ZTE is ready to provide its other products.The company has taken care to meet the needs of various segments of the population.
