ZTE basically has two smartphone lineup; the Axon series and Blade series. While the Axon smartphones are mainly devoted to the flagship and sometimes mid-range models, the Blade series are more pocket-friendly. Just as we are expecting the Aon 9 flagship, ZTE is also planning to unveil a Blade V9 smartphone and that model has just got the nod of U.S Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
The ZTE Blade V9’s promotional materials were recently leaked on ZTE’s Spanish website, perhaps to generate some publicity for the upcoming smartphone. The model’s present appearance on FCC’s website is an indication that it would be released soon in the U.S where ZTE currently enjoys some appreciable amount of patronage. The leaked materials which appeared on ZTE’s Spanish website had shown that the Blade V9 will sport an all-glass body both at the front and back, with its display standing at 5.7 inches. The device will feature a Full HD+ resolution with the 18:9 aspect ratio which would make it ZTE’s first full-screen mid-range model. The device would be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor and there would be three RAM sizes of 2GB, 3GB, and 4GB. The device will also come in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB storage variants. At the rear, the ZTE Blade V9 will pack a dual camera setup consisting of a 16MP primary sensor with autofocus, an LED flash, and a f/1.8 aperture, and a secondary 5MP fixed-focus sensor. Up front, there would be a 13MP camera. Other details include; a 3.5mm headphone jack, a hybrid SIM slot, a rear fingerprint sensor, and a 3,200mAh battery.

The FCC listing doesn’t reveal much about the device. It only shows that the Blade V9 would run Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box and confirms the existence of a 2GB RAM variant. The device recently received Bluetooth certification and it was revealed to support Bluetooth 4.2. We still can’t say when ZTE would unveil the smartphone. It was initially expected to go official at CES 2018 but that didn’t happen. We may just see it launched at MWC 2018. We are not so sure of that, though.
