Before we move on to the specs of the new ZTE Blade S6, lets take a look at the ZTE SmartHome. This is the first such smart gateway from the company till date. With everyone so obsessed with smart home products, it looks like ZTE is also keen to join the party. The company’s new gateway enables customers to connect their everyday devices like baby monitors, light switches etc via a wireless protocol called as ZigBee which also works with 4G LTE connection. Controlling these smart home devices will be pretty easy with the help of a mobile application. So, the ZTE SmartHome gateway can be used for anything from home management, security and health.

As for the ZTE Blade D6, its a pretty compact smartphone. The device weighs just about 120 grams and measures 6.95mm in thickness. The body is made out of 6013 aluminum alloy. So, if you are looking for something slim and light, the D6 turns out to be a great option.

As for the specs, the phone comes with the quad-core MT6735 chipset clocked at 1.3GHz coupled with 2GB LPDDR3 RAM and 16GB of internal storage. This can be further expanded via MicroSD card, thanks to the given 3 in 2 Micro SIM + NANO SIM/ SD card slot.

The phone comes with a 5-inch 720p display along with a 13MP rear facing camera and true tone flash. The company has taken special care to satisfy selfie lovers with its 88 degrees wide angle 5MP camera up front.
