Chinese OEMs are fleeing to India, or so it appears! After OPPO, Gionee, Xiaomi and a tonne other small-time Chinese brands launched devices in India, here comes one from ZTE. Although ZTE has been operating in India since quite a while, the company hasn’t really been in the limelight… before today perhaps.

The V5 is priced at 10,999 INR or $181, and comes with a 5-inch HD display and Snapdragon 400 quad-core CPU headlining its specs sheers.

But as it stands, there are 13 mega-pixel cameras and there as 13 mega-pixel cameras. Fortunately for us, we know it comes with an f/2.2 aperture which certainly isn’t the best. The question is, how well it does in comparison to other phones in its range!
Why don’t they unleash Z7? If priced right, it could prove trouble for Xiaomi!
