ZTE has announced two new phones – the new Blade A7 Prime and Blade 10 Prime. Both smartphones pack entry level specs and attractive prices aimed at those on the look for a budget or looking for a secondary device.
ZTE Blade A7 Prime
The more affordable Blade A7 Prime comes with a 6.09-inch HD+ display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and a waterdrop notch for its 5MP selfie shooter. The back has a matte cloth-like texture paired with a single 16MP F/2.0 camera, LED flash and fingerprint scanner. Another nice design touch is the red-colored power button.
Under the hood, the A7 Prime comes with the Mediatek Helio A22 chipset alongside 3GB RAM and 32GB built-in storage which is expandable via the microSD slot.
The phone packs a 3,200 mAh battery which charges over USB type-C and also brings a headphone jack in the top left corner. The software front is covered by Android 9 Pie.
