ZTE has announced the Blade V40 series at MWC. The quartet of smartphones aims for budget buyers thanks to simplified spec sheets and conservative designs.
The ZTE Blade V40 5G stands at the top of the new series’ pecking order. It boasts the best specs of the bunch and also features a slightly more advanced design. ZTE says this phone is powered by a 7nm Mediatek octa-core processor with a specially tuned 5G antenna that relies on Sounding Reference Signal technology to blend 4G, 5G, and Wi-Fi performance. ZTE said the phone is limited to sub-6GHz 5G and it does not support mmWave 5G. The phone has a 48MP main camera, 8MP selfie camera, as well as depth and macro cameras. It packs a 6,000mAh battery with 22.5W charging.
