ZTE has been having a great year so far with the launch of the flagship ZTE Axon 7 and the $99 Zmax Pro which have both been getting positive reviews. But it seems the company has a new phone in the pipeline. The phone which was spotted on TENAA’s website goes by the name ZTE BV0730. Speculations say it is probably a new Voyage 5 phone.

Specifications

The phone will feature a 5.5” Full HD display in a metal body. It will come with Android 6.0, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of built-in space, a 13MP primary camera and an 8MP camera in front. The octa-core processor is clocked at 1.5GHz and should probably be the MT6750 found in the Blade A2. The volume rocker and power button are positioned on the right and a SIM tray is on the left. There is also a fingerprint scanner positioned below the LED flash.

There’s an amazing feature about the ZTE BV0730. It’s dimensions are 155 x 76.2 x 9.8 mm. The reason for the thicker body is because ZTE has put a 4900mAh battery to supply power. This is a first for ZTE as their phones are not known to feature large batteries. Even the Zmax Pro which has a 6” FHD screen comes with a 3400mAh battery.

Alongside the Meizu M2 Launch Event today, ZTE also had an important conference. The company refreshed its V series lineup, with a brand new Third Generation ZTE V5 model at the event.

Following the likes of Lenovo K3 Note, Meizu M2 Note and others, ZTE V5 third generation model will bring in the best upper mid-range features in a price segment of just 999 Yuan. But the phone boasts of superior body as compared to these offerings, coming in a corrosion resistant aluminum alloy. This definitely gives it an edge over other plastic offerings in the market.

The phone comes with Snapdragon 615 octa-core chip 64-bit chip under the hood with 2GB of RAM. Each of the Cortex A53 cores in the SoC will be clocked at 1.3GHz. For GPU, you have the Adreno 405. There will be 16GB of storage on board which will be further expandable up to 128GB. Like the Meizu M2 and a lot many phones these days, the ZTE V5 will come with a dual SIM / MicroSD card combo slot. The display will be of 5.5-inches with full HD 1080p resolution. The overall dimensions are as follows: 155.3mm x 77.2mm x 8.55mm.

Another important feature on the device is the fingerprint recognition sensor. Like we saw in the leaked pictures before, the sensor will be located at the back of the device, just below the camera unit. As for the camera, you get a powerful 13MP sensor at the back with the powerful Neovision 5.0 camera software which gives a lot of options to the user. Up front, there is a f/2.2 aperture 5MP shooter with 88 degrees wide angle lens.

The ZTE V5 third generation model comes with decent 3000mAh battery. The company claims that this is good enough for up to 350 hours of standby time. As for the software, the phone runs on the custom Nubia 3.0 UI based on Android 5.1 Lollipop version. At the back, you will find the speakers which support DTS sound (AW8155A audio chip). 

The company has three different editions available for sale in the coming days. The basic youth edition starts at just 999 Yuan. The other two editions, namely Energy and Extreme will differ only in terms of network connectivity (China Specific).

So, what do you think about the new ZTE V5? Good enough to attract budget customers?

ZTE released a teaser a couple of days back for its upcoming launch of the ZTE V5 series smartphones on July 29. Now, the company has sent out invitations for the event, and this is when things get interesting. Remember the invite for the Meizu M2 last week? It came with Nokia 1110 inside! And guess what, the invite sent out by ZTE for its V5 series launch also come with Nokia 1110.

But there’s another twist. Apparently, the company is sending out smashed Nokia 1110s with the invite. Now, why are these Chinese companies so obsessed with Nokia 1110? Apparently, this was one of the best selling phone in the market at that time. So, the phone has a significant place in the industry.

It looks like ZTE is trying to send a message here. It wants to defeat the Meizu M2 and a smashed Nokia 1110 seems to be the best way to convey this message.

Anyways, we will have to wait and see what both the companies have in store for us at the end of this month. Once again, things are getting interesting near the month end, so stay tuned!

Meanwhile, alleged images of the new ZTE V5 model were leaked recently featuring an all metal body. You can check that out from here.

Last year, around November, ZTE had unveiled its new V series smartphones namely, ZTE V5S and the ZTE V5 Max. Both devices were aimed to provide the best specs under 1000 Yuan. Now, it looks like the company is all set to unveil a new generation model in the V5 series on July 29.

A new set of alleged images of the new ZTE V5 model were leaked earlier today revealing a much refined design as compared to its previous generation models. Back in November, we had taken a look at both the handsets, and were impressed by the simple plastic design and decent performance. However, this time, it looks like the new ZTE V5 will come in an all metal design as opposed to the plastic one. Also, there seems to be a fingerprint sensor at the back of the device, just below the camera unit.

So, it looks like at least in the design department the new model will be better than the V5 Max. As for the specs, we have no idea at the moment. But given that the V series phones are targeted at the budget users, don’t expect anything out of the ordinary.

Just yesterday, Coolpad announced its new Dazen Note 3 with a fingerprint sensor on board for 899 Yuan ($144) and we expect the new ZTE V5 to directly compete with this device.

Its good to see, affordable mid-range devices are now coming with fingerprint sensors on board. This does provide a lot of new options for buyers in the market.

ZTE is expected to unveil the device on July 29, which is just around a week away. So, lets wait and see, if we get more information especially about its specs in the coming days before launch.
