The post Upcoming Smartphones in November 2020: Huawei, Redmi, Realme, Vivo, and more! appeared first on Gizmochina.

ZTE may soon announce a couple of new smartphones. About a week ago, two phones – the Blade 20 and Blade A5 (2020) – were seen at the FCC. The latter has now appeared on TENAA’s database. The specs point at a mid-range phone with a big battery, and included images show it will have triple rear cameras in a square housing like the upcoming Pixel 4.

The ZTE Blade 20 has model number V1050 according to TENAA and it was certified on October 10. The phone has a 6.088-inch screen with a 1560 x 720 resolution. There is a camera visible in front and seems to be inside a very small notch.

Inside the phone is a 2.0GHz octa-core processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage (512GB max.). The processor will draw power from a 4870mAh battery (~5000mAh). The FCC documents revealed it has support for 18W fast charge which should be good news for those eyeing the device.

The Blade 20 has a square-shaped camera housing at the top left corner of its rear.  Inside it is a 16MP primary rear camera paired with an 8MP sensor that is likely an ultrawide camera and another 2MP sensor that should be for capturing depth details. There is also a fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone. TENAA says the front-facing camera is a 5MP sensor.

There is a red power button and volume control button on the right side of the phone’s frame while the SIM + MicroSD tray is on the left. FCC already revealed it has an audio jack and a USB Type-C port.

The phone will run Android 9 Pie out of the box and should have ZTE’s MiFavor UI on top. When it launches, it will be available in Black and Peacock Blue. Its dimensions are given as 155 x 72.7 x 8.95 millimeters and its weight is 164 grams.

The specs of the Blade 20 are similar to that of the recently announced Blade A7s but with a bigger battery, a fingerprint scanner, and a redesigned rear. Since the Blade A7s has a price tag of ¥799 (~$113), we presume ZTE will put a price tag of ¥999 (~$140) on the Blade A20.

The Blade A20 might launch on October 18 based on a Weibo post by ZTE on Friday, October 11. According to the post, ZTE will announce a new phone on October 18, the same day the Blade A7s will go on sale. An image attached to the post shows a phone with a waterdrop notch. This phone may be the ZTE Blade A20.

The post ZTE Blade 20 lands on TENAA with square camera housing and a big battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Some years back, it is a usual trend to see most phone makers imitate the design of the latest iPhone. That seems to have changed in recent times as Apple now looks like the one copying design features from Android OEMs. The latest iPhone 11 Pro came with a triple camera arranged in a square module that looks like a less impressive version of the Mate 20 Pro cameras. OnePlus 7T also came with a similar design. But it looks like that square camera module design will be adopted by many OEMs. An FCC listing said to be for the ZTE Blade 20 (Blade V20?) has appeared online with the rear panel housing a square camera module.

TheFCC listing serves us some details of the Blade 20, including the user manual and the entire design. It is difficult making out the front design clearly but it looks like the phone has a notch. The rear design includes the square-shaped camera module housing three camera sensors and an LED flash. The module is nested at the top left corner of the panel.

The phone also comes with a rear fingerprint sensor which means it is not an LED panel with an on-screen fingerprint sensor. The power button and volume rockers are located at the right side of the display. The phone uses a USB-C port and retains the 3.5mm headphone jack.

The Blade 20 is equipped with a large 5000mAh battery with support for 18W fast charge. Other specifications are unknown. We also don’t know when it will be launch but that should be far off.
