ZTE today has launched a new entry-level smartphone for the Malaysian market, with the all-new Blade V40 Design – a variant of its Blade V40 family, which also consists of the Blade V40s and Blade V40 Vita . Priced at RM 649, this newer model comes with a generously sized display, a Unisoc chipset, 50 MP primary camera, and more.
For starters, the ZTE Blade V40 Design sports a large 6.6-inch flat display with FHD+ (1080 x 2408 pixel) resolution and a teardrop notch housing its front-facing camera. Also onboard is a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, loudspeaker, SIM and microSD slot combo, 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a USB-C port for charging and data transfer. In terms of colour selection, the phone is offered in either Starry Black or Sky Blue.
Under its hood is an octa-core Unisoc Tiger T616 chipset with a Mali-G57 MP1 GPU, along with a single memory configuration consisting of 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. Like most phones in the market, especially at its class range, users are provided the option to boost its memory capacity through a built-in tool called Fusion RAM. According to ZTE, this feature is capable of expanding the current RAM capacity up to 5 GB by converting an equivalent amount of storage.
