ZTE silently launched a moderately-specced smartphone by listing it on its website. The company does not seem very excited about the phone either, as it does not even mention what chipset it runs on. Regardless, let’s talk about the ZTE Blade V70, including its price in Nepal if it ever arrives here.
ZTE Blade V70 Overview
Design and Display
Talking of the design, the ZTE Blade V70 looks like a wanna-be iPhone. It has flat frames and edges and a squircle camera island with circular cutouts. The phone’s back panel is what the company calls “Starlight AG Glass”. It ships in three colours — Glacier Green, Stardust Grey, and Sunshine Gold.
For the display, the ZTE Blade V70 has a 6.7-inch unit with HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. No other information about the screen is available. However, taking the phone’s other specs into account, it is likely an LCD panel.
Camera and AI
The Blade V70’s main highlight is — definitely — its camera and AI, and ZTE spends most of its time talking about them. The primary shooter here is a 108MP unit with a 1/1.67” sensor. There are two additional cameras at the back, but they do not seem relevant as the company does not mention anything about them. In the meantime, you get a 16MP snapper on the front.
Moving on to the AI side of things, it seems mostly limited to photos and tampering with them. We have the Magic Eraser that does exactly what it sounds like. Then there is Magic Editor which allows users to select a photo’s subject and move them around within the image. Other features include Magic Lens (OCR), Organisation and Storytelling, Best Take, Magic Unblur, Photo Search, AI Face Stickers, Portrait Light, and so on.

Performance
As I mentioned earlier, ZTE does not specify which processor it has powered the Blade V70 with. It is apparently an octa-core processor with a peak clock speed of 2.0GHz. There are a lot of chipsets that match the provided description. Hence, it is impossible to tell exactly which one it is. But if I were to guess, some offering from UNISOC or Helio G80-series seems to be the most likely candidate.
Other than that, the phone packs 8GB RAM that can be boosted by an additional 12GB virtually. You get 256GB worth of on-device storage which you could expand to 1TB externally via a microSD card. The thing boots on MyOS 14 which is based on Android. Lastly, it has a 5,000 mAh cell with 22.5W fast charging support.
