Phandroid just published their review of the ZTE Blade V8 Pro, and they said they would wholeheartedly recommend the ZTE Blade V8 Pro to anyone looking for a quality Android phone for the least amount of money possible.
The Good
- Solid build quality, nice grippy back
- Awesome battery life
- Fast camera (no shutter lag)
- Dual 13MP cameras work well to create wide aperture effect
- Live photos built-into camera/gallery
- 4K video recording
- Fast and accurate fingerprint button
- USB Type C + Quick Charge 2.0
- 32GB internal storage + micro SD slot
- NFC and dual-band WiFi (sorry, Honor 6X)
- Headphone jack + Dolby Audio
- Affordable pricing
The Bad
- Overly aggressive RAM management sucks (can be fixed in the settings)
- Software bug affecting music apps bug (fix is coming soon)
- HDR capture is necessary to produce great looking photos
- Touch screen lag when scrolling through the UI
- Still running year-old Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow
- No adoptable storage option for SD cards
- No RCS support
- No wireless charging despite non-metal back
