ZTE has officially announced the new Changxing 60 model in its home market of China. The company’s latest device is an entry level handset but appears to have a design that is quite similar to Huawei’s 2020 flagship, the Mate 40 Pro. This device is the successor to the ZTE Changxing 50 that launched last year, so here are all the details.

ZTE Changxing 60 Specs

The Chinese tech giant launched the Changxing 60 as a new budget device, so it features some modest specifications. It is equipped with the UNISOC T7520 SoC that is paired with up to 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The memory can even be expanded thanks to virtual RAM support. The rear features what the company refers to as the “space star ring” camera module, which houses the 13-megapixel main camera.

While this device is a full fledged smartphone, its software design and functionality are something more akin to a feature phone. It basically features a UI that seeks to keep things minimal and only arrives with commonly used apps. The system apps also follow this simple design philosophy. However, the external aesthetic appears a bit more premium. From the back, the ZTE Changxing 60 seems like a budget version of the Huawei Mate 40 Pro. This difference is quite apparent in the picture below, especially in Mate 40 Pro’s orange color variant.
