ZTE officially re-enters the Philippine market. And to complete its comeback, the brand is introducing the Blade series to the country.
The series is comprised of the Blade 41 Vita 5G, Blade V40s, and Blade V40 Design. The three phones share a similar design language with the same camera specs of a 50MP+2MP+2MP at the back and an 8MP in front, having the same 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and the same 4500 battery with 22.5W fast charging. The phones run on Android 12-based MyOS 12, as well.
Its key differences lie in the display technologies used and the processors that power the phones. The ZTE Blade 41 Vita 5G comes with a 90Hz 6.6-inch FHD IPS display and a MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset.
The ZTE Blade V40s, on the other hand, has a 6.67-inch FHD AMOLED display and a Unisoc T618 chip. And last but not the least, the ZTE Blade V40 Design has a 6.6-inch FHD IPS display and a modest Unisoc T616 chip.
As far as pricing goes, the Blade series comes in affordable SRPs. The ZTE Blade 41 Vita 5G retails for ₱11,999, the ZTE Blade V40s for ₱10,999, and the ZTE V40 Design for ₱7,999.
