ZTE Blade X9, X5, X3 Specs: 4G LTE, Android 5.1 Lollipop, Fingerprint Sensors, Reverse Charging, and More
Three ZTE smartphones, the ZTE Blade X9, X5, and X3, have arrived — in Russia at least. Their specifications include 4G LTE, Android 5.1 Lollipop, reverse charging, and fingerprint sensors, among others.
The devices were recently announced, but ZTE's Russian website already lists the three additions to the Blade series.
ZTE Blade X9
The largest of the lot, the ZTE Blade X9 sports a massive 5.5-inch IPS screen, with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080. It is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor and a 3,000 mAh battery. It contains 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of memory.
The X9 features 4G LTE, a fingerprint sensor at the back, and dual-SIM slot.
ZTE Blade X5
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.
