ZTE Blade S7 smartphone launched: Top 5 specs and 5 features it missed

|

ZTE has added a new device to its Blade series of smartphone. The company's new smartphone called the Blade S7 has been promoted as an offering meant for selfie lovers. The ZTE Blade S7 smartphone is essentially a successor to the Blade S6 that was launched earlier this year.

 

Going by specs and features of the phone, it seems to be a mid-range offering. The handset has been launched in China, and will be made available first in Thailand and later be available in other markets across Asia-Pacific.

The ZTE Blade S7 smartphone has some impressive specifications but misses some features. Here we pick five top features, and five specs that we wished it had!

The phone has plenty of native storage space, but lacks a microSD card slot, which means you will not be able to expand its memory on microSD card.

Lacks Removable battery

The phone features a unibody design, which means that you cannot remove its back or battery, if needed. Also, in case a damage happen to the battery of the phone, repair will take longer than for usual phones.

No resistance to water

Considering that the phone does not come with IP certification for water and dust resistance, it is vulnerable to water-based damages.

Lacks quick charging capabilities

The ZTE Blade S7 smartphone doesn't support quick charging for faster battery charging. This has also become one of the major features, and is available on many mid-range smartphones.

USB Type-C port

The phone features standard microUSB port. Considering that USB Type-C port is the future and many smartphone players have added this connectivity option in their smartphones, we wish this phone had it too.
