The time has come for us to turn our attention to a very decent smartphone made by ZTE. This is the Blade S6 Flex and the specs of this phone do not match its price, at all! You get much more than what you pay for. If you are interested in the ZTE Blade L3, you can check its price and availability here: http://amzn.to/1sqmqge

5-inch HD display and a 13MP camera

Blade S6 Flex features a 5-inch HD display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. This is enough for a highly-detailed image with pixel density of 294 ppi. Apart from that, you get an IPS panel, so you can expect contrasting colors and wider viewing angles.

This ZTE comes with a 13MP camera with autofocus, an LED flash and an aperture value of f/2.0 which suggests better images in poorly lit conditions. Additionally, you can record Full HD 30fps video. What is more, the phone offers a 5MP front-facing camera.

Snapdragon 615 and slender construction

ZTE Blade S6 Flex comes with a Snapdragon 615 mobile CPU with eight Cortex-A53 cores, ticking at 1.4 GHz. The mobile chip also features an Adreno 405 GPU and 2 GB of RAM. Undoubtedly, the Snapdragon 615 is not characteristic of the lower mid-range where this smartphone is positioned. The internal storage is 16 GB which is expandable via a microSD slot.

Our attention is caught not only by the specs of Blade S6 Flex. This model is also beautiful and elegant, with a slender construction only 8 mm thick. What is more, its design slightly resembles that of the iPhone 6 in terms of shape and silver color. As far as weight is concerned, the ZTE weighs 130 grams.

2300mAh battery, Android 5.0 Lollipop

The Blade S6 Flex comes with a 2300mAh battery, which should ensure 9 hours of talk time and 180 hours of standby (according to ZTE).

Android 5.0 Lollipop is the OS of the model and you also get the ZTE MiFavor 3.0 UI that brings new looks, and several pre-installed apps.

Also notable specs of this smarpthone are: Bluetooth v4.0, LTE Cat.4 and Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac.
