ZTE launch ZTE Blade S6 with SD 615 for $260

While Meizu were having fun in Beijing with the launch of the m1, ZTE were also busy releasing details of their ZTE Blade S6.

The ZTE Blade S6 had been leaked to us in spy photos a few weeks ago, but now the phone is official as are its specifications and pricing.

ZTE have created the Blade S6 as a low-cost, yet powerful phone with a stylish design. We can’t help but feel they have tripped up a little here though as the design is a reproduction of the iPhone 6, and the Snapdragon 615 chipset isn’t the most powerful chip for mid-range phones any longer.

The device boasts 2GB RAM, 5-inch 720p display, 13 mega-pixel rear camera and 2400mAh battery. The phone also comes with 16GB internal memory, 5 mega-pixel front camera and ZTE’s own Mifavour UI ROM.

Pricing is around 2000 Yuan which is roughly $260 and it sounds as though ZTE will be working with Ebay, Amazon and other online resellers to offer the phone internationally.
