ZTE copies iPhone 6, announce Blade S6 Android smartphone
ZTE Blade S6 is a new 4G LTE smartphone from the Chinese smartphone maker that will be targeted to midrange smartphone buyers. Powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa core chipset, Blade S6 is running Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system. ZTE has created MiFavor 3.0 user interface over Android. The shocking thing though is that the rear side of the phone looks too similar to Apple’s iPhone 6’s rear panel. Priced at $249.99, Blade S6 will be soon available in American and Asian markets.
Key features include SmartSense gesture and motion controls, silver and pink color options, 5” 720p resolution In-cell display panel, dual SIM card slots, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of onboard storage, 13mp rear camera, 5mp front facing camera, 2400mAh battery.
“In line with our product portfolio plan, we very much sought to push the envelope with the Blade S6, and to do so in a way that would appeal to youths, as well as those with active social lives,” said Mr. Adam ZENG Xuezhong, Executive Vice President of ZTE Corporation and CEO of ZTE Mobile Devices.
“The Blade S6 is part of our 3+1 approach, which is led by a trio of product lines that includes the voice control Star series, security-focused Grand series and mass-market premium Blade series. The sub-brand Nubia series completes the approach, which together allows ZTE to address an expansive variety of customer needs.”
“With its small package and powerful capabilities, the Blade S6 is the dream device for the socially active consumers and a clear demonstration of ZTE’s ability to offer a premium smartphone at an affordable price.” ZENG added.
