IFA 2014: ZTE Announces New Blades in Germany
Thursday, September 11, 2014
Chinese manufacturer ZTE might not have the impressive line-up that Samsung, Sony or Lenovo presented during IFA last week, but it was still present during the event to announce three new smartphones – two new Blade handsets and a Kis model.
The two new Blade models – the Blade Vec 4G and Blade Veg 3G are both 5-inch smartphones with slightly similar specifications.
The Blade Vec 4G, as the name implies is packing an LTE radio that delivers up to 150Mbps downlink. Performance is delivered by a Snapdragon 400 chipset with a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage. At the back of the device is a either an 8MP or 13MP camera (depending on the region version) while the front is graced by either a 1MP or 2MP snapper.
On the other hand, the Blade Vec 3G is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of on-board storage and an 8MP+5MP camera combo. Obviously, the handset will have 3G connectivity, which of course makes it a little less expensive than the 4G model.
Both models will have a 2300mAh battery and comes with a carbon fiber body. The Blade Vec 4G is now available in different markets in Europe for around $300 while the Blade Vec 3G will be offered for somewhere near $230.
Then there’s the ZTE Kis 3 Max which offers a 4.5-inch FWVGA display, a MediaTek MT6572 chipset with a 1.3GHz dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM, a 5MP+2MP camera combo and 3G connectivity.
The ZTE Kis 3 Max will also launch initially in certain markets in Europe including UK, Germany, Greece and Bulgaria for $130. All phone models will run on a stock version of Android 4.4 KitKat.
