Design

This ZTE model will win you over with its up-to-date look. It has thin bezels around the screen and a tiny drop-shaped notch where the front camera lens is hidden. The body of the ZTE Blade V10 Vita is plastic, which from a distance looks as if it is glass. The glossy material quickly gets covered in fingerprint marks, so we recommend wearing your phone in a case.

There are two technologies available to access the system - a fingerprint scanner and facial recognition. Both ways are convenient, fast and points. All you have to do is touch your finger to the scanner, no matter how - it supports 360-degree recognition, and you'll be up and running with your tasks in no time.

The smartphone comes in green and black and has compact dimensions - 157.1 x 75.8 x 8.1 mm. Its weight is just 150 grams.

Display

The ZTE Blade V10 Vita features a beautiful and satisfyingly large 6.23-inch screen with an IPS LCD matrix. The resolution is 720 x 1520 pixels at a density of 269 pixels per inch. The image quality will not disappoint. The manufacturer has provided manual adjustment of color rendering parameters.

Thanks to the aspect ratio - 19:9, the ZTE Blade V10 Vita is pleasant to hold in the hand. Its screen occupies 82.1% of the front panel area.

Performance

The ZTE Blade V10 Vita is based on a simple hardware platform. At its heart lies a Unisoc SC9863A chip consisting of 8 cores - 4 Cortex-A55 cores clocked up to 1.6 GHz and another 4 Cortex-A55 cores clocked up to 1.2 GHz. One of the main differences of the new architecture compared to the last generation of Cortex is the appearance of embedded blocks in the cores to accelerate computations based on artificial intelligence and machine learning. A PowerVR Rogue GE8322 video chip is responsible for graphics in the ZTE Blade V10 Vita. RAM is 2/3 GB and internal memory is 32/64 GB. The latter can be expanded using a microSD memory card up to 256 GB, for which a separate slot is provided.

As a result, the ZTE Blade V10 Vita runs fast and smooth enough. This smartphone is not made for heavy gaming and applications. If you want to venture into those, you need to tweak the settings.

Cameras

The photo capabilities of the ZTE Blade V10 Vita will satisfy most users. The rear camera is represented by a dual main unit, which includes a 13 MP (f/2.0) and a 2 MP. The front camera is a single 8 MP with f/2.0 aperture.

The photo quality is at the level of this price category. In bright daylight, you will get cute photographs with vivid colors and a good level of detail. The darker it is, the more the quality of the photos deteriorates.

The front-facing camera on the ZTE Blade V10 Vita does an excellent job. Thanks to the beautification system, you can do a lot of things with it. For example, you can edit the face, adjust the size and shape of the eyes or work on the skin. Connoisseurs of quality selfies will appreciate this feature of the ZTE Blade V10 Vita.

Autonomous operation

Here, the front-facing camera will offer real entertainment.
