The ZTE Blade X5 is aimed at selfie lovers, reports Phone Radar. The phone is equipped with two cameras, at the front (8 megapixels) and at the back (13 megapixels). There is also a physical button at the back to make taking selfies easier.
The device is powered by a quad-core MediaTek MT6735 processor. It contains 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of memory, which can be expanded up to 32 GB via a microSD card. Its screen measures 5 inches of IPS display and offers 720p resolution. Sustaining the device's life is a 2,400 mAh battery.
It also offers 4G LTE and a fingerprint sensor.
ZTE Blade X3
The ZTE Blade X3 is the only device among the three to offer reverse charging. Reverse charging means the X3 can be used to charge other devices. This function is made possible by its 4,000 mAh battery.
The X3 packs the same processor, screen, RAM, and memory as the X5. It has two cameras: the one in the front is a 2-megapixel shooter, while the rear camera is 8 megapixels.
The three ZTE phones, which all run Android 5.1 Lollipop, are priced in Russia as follows: The Blade X3 is the cheapest smartphone in the series and sells for 8,990 rubles (around $138.50), the X5 for 10,990 rubles (around $169), and the X9 for 17,990 rubles (around $277). There is no update, however, as to whether they will come to the United States or other regions as of this writing.
