ZTE Blade V

This is a budget entry-level phone built around a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon chipset paired with just 1GB of RAM and 4GB of onboard storage. You can add a microSD card up to 32GB if you need more room for photos or files. The 4.0-inch TFT screen runs at 480 x 800 resolution, which was standard for its time but feels small and low-res by current norms.

The rear camera is a 5MP unit with autofocus and LED flash, fine for casual snapshots but nothing more, while the front camera is a basic VGA sensor for the occasional selfie or video call. ZTE Blade V price in Malaysia starts from RM739, putting it firmly in the budget segment.

Battery capacity sits at 1800mAh, modest even for a device this size, and it ships with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box. At 130g and 10.9mm thick, it's light and pocketable, with Wi-Fi, GPS and 3G data support covering the basics for everyday connectivity.
