ZTE has launched a new smartphone in the mid-range Blade Series. The Blade S6 comes packed with a Snapdragon 615 octa-core 64 bit chipset and 2 gigabytes of RAM. The handset sails on the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop, which supports 64 bit chipsets and thus, the phone should be able to perform pretty well out-of-the-box.
According to ZTE, the device targets the young and the young at heart, and comes loaded with a few software features like flicking the wrist (with the phone in your hand, of course) to activate the torch, pressing the volume button in landscape mode to activate the camera among a few of them. While the actual usability of such software features is often questioned, it is of course nice to have these to get quick access to a few frequently used features.
Talking about the hardware part of the device, the ZTE Blade S6 Plus has a 5.5 inch high-definition screen. The phone is pretty slim at 7.5 mm, and weighs 150 grams. Take a look at the spec-sheet below for a better knowledge about what the S6 Plus offers on paper.
