ZTE V5 Pro: overview, specifications and reviews

Among all the existing modern smartphones choose the one that will not just be to your liking, but also affordable, quite difficult. Therefore, the competition for many well-known brands has increasingly become less eminent firms. So, the new smartphone ZTE V5 Pro, whose review we will introduce to you, can compete with such "giants" as Samsung Galaxy, iPhone and LG.

A couple of words about the brand

Naturally, before describing ZTE V5 Pro, you need to tell a little about the company-manufacturer. Chinese, by the way. Not everything that is done in the Middle Kingdom is of poor quality. And this is proven by various large enough companies. ZTE also did not become an exception. The company was founded a long time ago, but only recently entered the Russian market. And by the way, I even managed to become the official sponsor of the program Comedy Battle on the famous entertainment channel.

The main "chips"

Speaking of ZTE V5 3 Pro, it is worth noting first of all that this is a smartphone of the middle class. It can not be attributed to very expensive devices, but it does more than enough. One of the most important "chips" of this budget smartphone is the presence of a fingerprint scanner. That is, the owner can install it as a means to unlock the screen, thereby protecting all information from prying eyes. The smartphone ZTE V5 Pro also has another "chip", which is to support memory cards up to 128 GB. Thus, the phone can become a whole center for work, entertainment and data storage.

Camera

Since about 80% of owners like to be photographed on a smartphone, the quality of pictures and cameras for many is one of the most important criteria. It is worth saying that ZTE V5 Pro, whose review we are conducting, meets expectations. So, the front camera here is as much as 5 Mp, which is quite enough for qualitative selfies. And of course, for talking with video in popular applications. ZTE V5 Pro, the main camera which has as much as 13 Mp, is suitable for shooting the most important moments in life. And in the dark, too! The camera, by the way, is quite good: Exmor RS with five lenses, which allows you to create high-quality macro shots. Software NeoVision 5 professionals are assessed as budget, but quite worthy.

Memory

This is also a painful issue for many modern users who prefer to keep all the necessary information at hand offline. And here, too, ZTE V5 Pro, whose review we present to you, did not disappoint. The built-in memory is 16 GB, of which about 14.5 GB are available to the user. If you want to expand the memory can be using the Micro SD.

RAM

This is also an important moment in modern smartphones. At V5 Pro the operative storage makes 2 GB. And this is enough for the operation of many applications and games without "brakes" and "glitches." And of course, multitasking is supported without problems. For modern smartphones that combine a mobile phone and a handheld computer, it is very important to provide the user access to all desired applications and functions. And 2 GB of RAM is enough for this.

CPU

Not only RAM ensures normal and fast operation of the phone. The processor plays an important role in this. ZTE V5 Pro, whose characteristics for a budget smartphone remain high enough, is equipped with a powerful and fast Snapdragon 615 processor. It has eight active cores, which allow to use the features and functionality of the gadget by 100%. Such characteristics are worth their money.

Battery

It's just a scourge of modern devices! Many companies-manufacturers, stuffing their gadgets with different "chips", save on the battery, installing weak and not very high-quality batteries. But ZTE V5 Pro, reviews about which will be a little later, does not fall into this category! It has a rather powerful 3000 mAh battery, which is enough for games, applications, calls, and SMS. And what else does a modern person need to be mobile and always in touch?

Software

What can not but rejoice freshly baked owners of this smartphone? Of course, the newest operating system is Android 5.1. It has even more features that open up to the user. On some sites you can download and different versions of firmware. However, the average Russian does not need this much. The only thing that should be paid attention when buying from Chinese vendors on trading platforms is the availability of third-party software on the smartphone. Some of the programs can be infected with viruses, which in the future will bring a lot of problems. As an option - immediately make a reset to the factory settings, and then pump the gadget on your own. Another way to avoid problems with using a smartphone is to purchase from trusted vendors in Russia. For the implementation of ZTE V5 Pro, which we are reviewing, in the near future will take "Megafon", "Beeline", "MTS".

Screen

This is perhaps the most important part. The ZTE V5 Pro screen has a diagonal of 5.5 inches with an IPS-matrix! This is an endlessly beautiful and stylish phablet (smartphone, the size of which is in the range from the average smart to the tablet computer). Responsiveness and sensitivity of the sensor can compete with even the most unbudgeted gadgets. The size of the screen allows you to use your smartphone both as a phone and as a tablet. For example, to watch movies or videos. The display resolution is 1920 × 1080.

Communication standards

As Russian operators do not stand still, developing the quality and communication signal, it is important that the smartphone also supports these communication formats. Otherwise, what's the point of acquiring a device that will be difficult or even impossible to talk or surf on the Internet. Moreover, the latter has become an integral part of the life of modern man. ZTE V5 Pro, reviewed in more detail below, supports several formats: 2G, 3G, 4G. Naturally, they can work fully only if it is supported by the coverage area of the particular operator chosen.

Appearance

Since in addition to functionality, the external appearance of the modern apparatus is also important, it is worthwhile to carefully consider it. The model described has an aluminum case with plastic inserts, with a non-removable type of battery. On the side of the device is a dual slot for two SIM cards or sim cards and SD cards, at the discretion of the owner. This is quite a standard layout, since the internal memory of the device is quite large. Expansion is required only in individual cases. In addition to the slot on the side face of the other side is a rocker volume and a power button. The connector for the charger is located at the bottom, which is very convenient if the smartphone is in the case. Headphones or a wired headset are connected from the top, the output of 3.5 mm allows you to choose any convenient model. Moreover, headphones are not included in the package. The fingerprint sensor is located on the back cover under the camera's eye. Not the most convenient location, but the fablet has its advantage in size, so the finger usually falls exactly on the sensor.

Equipment

It is quite standard for modern gadgets: the device itself, a charger and a USB cable. The headset is not provided. But the instruction is present. If you purchase the device from Chinese sellers, it will be in Chinese, from Russian sellers - in Russian including. The box is made of high-quality cardboard, so you can safely order a smartphone in an online store, it should go completely. Especially if the seller additionally something is isolating from the battle device.

Customer Reviews

Despite the fact that the device is quite new (fall 2015), he already has his followers. So, the model ZTE V5 Pro (N939ST), reviews about which are very positive, really liked the Russians. Many users evaluate the performance and functionality of the smartphone for five stars out of five possible. Some people are confused only by the fingerprint scanner, which, in their opinion, works in 80% of cases. In the rest, you have to enter a pattern to unlock the device. The quality of the connection is also estimated at the highest level. The camera is popular with most users. The images are very saturated and beautiful, without excessive noise and separately expressed pixels. The size of the device also does not cause any discontent. In the man's hand, the phabette is especially convenient, in the female it seems like a "shovel" at first, but eventually the proprietress and the surrounding people get used to such an unusually large apparatus.

Opinions of professionals

Some experts have already taken the time to evaluate the model ZTE V5 Pro (N939ST). Their responses are also generally positive. For example, some professionals believe that the phabetes generally have a great future, and ZTE has every chance to become a leader in the production of such gadgets. The quality of a specific model was assessed by several criteria: performance, camera, appearance, screen quality. For all indicators, the device is excellent. At least in its price segment. The fingerprint scanner did not cause any questions either, since its performance depends on many factors. So, at a lower body temperature (for example, in the cold), the sensor may simply not recognize the imprint. And this is normal. Branded original iPhones have the same algorithm of operation.

Price

At the start of Chinese sales, the phablet costs about $ 170. To date, in Russian stores, it is offered at a cost of 10 thousand rubles to 13.5. This is a very real price for such a fashionable and convenient gadget. The shipping cost is not included in this review. The price of accessories varies depending on the manufacturer.

Short summary

In all categories, it is worth recommending to pay attention to the ZTE V5 Pro, which has very good functionality and high performance. Some owners have even managed to drop a smartphone on the floor a couple of times, after which its quality remained the same. That is, the performance has not suffered, and this is the most important thing. By the way, accessories for a smartphone to pick up is not so difficult, both for this model and universal. Many manufacturers keep up to date, creating covers and covers for such non-standard sizes. The smartphone itself comes in two colors: golden and silver. Bright or monochrome shades are not provided, but you can always choose a beautiful back cover, which will be to your liking.
