Other than that we find a rear 13MP camera with dual-tone LED flash and PDAF autofocus, while on the front there’s a 8MP shooter also accompanied by an LED flash.

The handset will run Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, which is a bit disappointing at this point in time, but will suffice nonetheless.

ZTE Blade A2 Plus will be priced 11,999 INR ($178) and comes in two color variants: Gold and Silver. It’ll be available exclusively at Flipkart starting February 6th.

With the big 5000mAh battery, 4GB of RAM and an affordable price, the Blade A2 Plus is a very interesting new entry in the Indian market, still, it’ll go against devices like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (Snapdragon) also recently launched in India, which is not an easy task.

    Now, that’s interesting… Waiting for camera reviews from owners…
    Obviously xiaomi will sell better, but that’s because “it’s xiaomi”: this is a nice battery phone nonetheless

    Not much hope for this phone., Because of Mediatek SOC. Xiaomi has
    Converted India into Snapdragon territory. This with SD 625 would have been a hit.

      that’s just plain stupid … people should learn to embrace diversity !

      remember how the MTK 6752 ousted the SD 810 ?

      maybe the Indian market needs to open up for variety rather than being limited to one brand !

        ZTE Blade A2 Plus Lying on sale for first time on Flipkart, for over 1 hour but hardly moving, which is unusual coz Xiaomi Sold quarter Redmi Note 4 in 2 minutes, on its first sale. When even large companies like ZTE companies do not research the market preferences, before introducing major products in Indian or any other market, result is only failure. ZTE has only barely been able to dent Indian market where Xiaomi will sell 7 Million Redmi Note 4, this year in India.
