ZTE seems to be obsessed over its Blade series. The Chinese tech giant launched the Blade V8 Pro back at CES in January followed by the release of Blade V8 a few days later.
Fast forward to the MWC at Barcelona, ZTE has now unveiled two more variants, dubbed Blade V8 Mini and Blade V8 Lite, these devices come with Android Nougat out of the box and intend to compete against the low to mid range segments. The devices share a few other things besides their name. The Blade siblings have an almost similar design besides the Metallic chassis and antenna bands of the V8 Mini. The specsheet of the devices is presented below for a keen comparison between the two.
ZTE Blade V8 Mini Specs:
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor
- 5.0-inch display
- 2GB RAM
- 16GB Internal Storage(with Micro-SD card support)
- 13 and 2MP dual-rear camera setup
- 5MP front camera
- 2,800mAh Battery
ZTE Blade V8 Lite Specs:
- MediaTek 6750 processor
- 5.0-inch display
- 2GB RAM
- 16GB Internal Storage(with Micro-SD card support)
- 8MP rear camera
- 5MP front camera
- 2,500mAh Battery
While the prices of Blade V8 Mini and V8 Lite are still unknown, it has been confirmed that the V8 Mini will initially be available in several Asia Pacific and European markets whereas the V8 Lite will be available in Italy, Germany and Spain initially and will roll out to various Asia Pacific and European markets at a later stage.
The Blade V8 Mini and Blade V8 Lite are competitive devices which should come with a similarly competitive pricing, while the Blade V8 Lite may not have the trademark dual camera setup of the V8 Mini and its Snapdragon processor, the device is more than capable to target the low end market provided that ZTE prices it accordingly.
