While not quite up to the standard of today’s smartphone as I write up this report nearly midway through 2016, I can tell you that people loved the original ZTE Blade when it first came out. You will rarely find a review that wants to give any feature under a 9.5 out of 10 to give you an idea.
The ZTE Blade came with Android 2.1 out of the box and didn’t see any OS significant upgrades–they weren’t a huge deal back then. It is underpinned by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 system chip and offers roughly 4 hours of talk time on the battery.
