In the middle of this year, precisely in July 2014, direct opportunity to test one of the smartphone made by ZTE, the Nubian Z5S mini. Towards the end of 2014.

One of the advantages possessed by the smartphone is priced at USD 150 this is the support of the eight core (octa-core) processor pinned. ZTE Blade dared to claim that the Vec Pro is a smartphone "True Octa Core". Other selling points that are not less interesting is the 13 MP main camera with Auto Focus support.

Intrigued with the performance of this smartphone? We had a chance to try out the performance of ZTE Blade Vec Pro for two full weeks. Not only used for communication, a smartphone that has a 5-inch landscape display is also tested for surfing the internet, playing games, shooting a number of objects and play movies or music.

Here's the review!

Design

ZTE Blade designing Vec Pro fairly interesting. Why is that? Because of this smartphone looks elegant and comfortable when operated through one hand. With dimensions of 70.4 x 142.3 mm, this smartphone has a thickness of only 7.5 mm. We also considered, this smartphone has a light weight, which is only 152 grams.

Pertaining to the design, Blade Vec Pro also has an indentation in four different corners with smartphones in general. Therefore, when used in a long time, your hands will not feel pain. This one smartphone is also very convenient to be placed anywhere, ranging from his shirt pocket to jeans pocket though.

Back Cover

No different from most other Android smartphones, ZTE Blade Vec Pro complements the back cover back cover or plastic. Interestingly, the origin of the Chinese smartphone manufacturer is giving back cover layer that was visible with a touch of carbon texture. The advantage, backcover is not easy to get dirty and not slippery when held.

Camera

On the back of this smartphone, ZTE has placed 13 MP main camera plus an LED flash light that is located in the upper left corner. In addition, ZTE also put the speakers are located in the lower right corner. Although there are in the back and the smartphone is put on the table, the sound produced by the speakers still sound pretty obvious.

Display

Shifted to the front around the screen, in addition to 5-inch screen with a resolution of 720x1280 plus IPS technology, ZTE is also buried next 5 MP camera. Unfortunately, ZTE not equip the camera with LED flash light. However, users can still use it for air-sefie ria.

USB & Audio Jack Port

Then, where ZTE put 3.5 mm Audio Jack port and microUSB? Both by ZTE also placed side by side on the bottom side. Placement of 3.5 mm Audio Jack port on the bottom side is unusual. Because, most smartphones put the port on the side of the top, including a mini Z5S ZTE Nubia.

Looking at the composition of the entire placement of slots and ports are also available, can be guessed that ZTE Blade develop Vec Pro with the concept of uni-body. Therefore, you can not remove the battery plug into the pinned by ZTE Blade Vec Pro. ZTE just pinned Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) with a capacity of 2300 mAh.
