After announcing the Blade V8 Pro last month at CES, ZTE has now announced two more smartphones in the Blade V8 series – the ZTE Blade V8 Mini and ZTE Blade V8 Lite.
Starting with the Blade V8 Mini, this smartphone comes with a dual camera setup at its back – a 13 MP primary camera and a 2 MP secondary camera. At the front, it has a 5 MP camera for all your selfie and video calling needs. The V8 Mini is powered by Snapdragon 435 SoC which is paired with 2 GB RAM. It boots up to Android 7.0 Nougat and sports a 5-inch HD display.
Speaking of the Blade V8 Lite, it’s powered by MediaTek’s MT6750 chipset and is coupled with 2 GB RAM. Unlike the Blade V8 Mini, the V8 Lite comes with a single 8 MP camera at the back and has a 5 MP camera on the front. However, what’s common between both these devices is the 5-inch HD display, Android 7.0 Nougat and rear mounted fingerprint scanner.
