ZTE Blade L3 Gray: reviews. ZTE Blade L3: description, technical specifications

Among modern smartphones choose a decenta variant of the budget class is quite difficult. They are all alike, almost like twins. However, the firm ZTE, which is bursting fast on the Russian market, is able to surprise. And it is budget smartphones. The main thing is to read the reviews in advance. ZTE Blade L3 - a worthy representative of its class. And there are reasons for that.

About the company-manufacturer

The Russian-Chinese company ZTE in the Chinese marketknown for a long time. But after the domestic entrepreneurs entered the main director and supervisory staff, the company began to gain momentum on sales in the territory of the Russian Federation. And even began to actively sponsor some projects. In particular, programs on federal channels. In exchange, the company began to actively advertise, which attracted additional attention to it. ZTE Blade L3, which will be reviewed in the article, has not yet been "publicized" on television. But this does not detract from the dignity of the smartphone.

Screen

This is the first, with which almost all the reviews begin. ZTE Blade L3 has a five-inch screen with an IPS-matrix. At the same time, the quality of the display is really good, and the coating is oleophobic. That is, it practically does not leave fingerprints, and on a sunny day on the screen the picture is very clearly visible, without blackouts. This is a very important point, because most of the budget smartphones, unfortunately, in this regard is very economical. Matrices in them put cheap and not too high-quality. The screen supports HD-images with a resolution of 720p. For a five-inch display this is quite enough. In addition, the viewing angles are very wide, and therefore received positive reviews ZTE Blade L3. No matter how you turn your smartphone, everything will be visible. And very good.

Appearance

The first thing that all pay attention to when choosingsmartphone - this is its appearance. And here it is quite classic for ZTE products. The rear camera is located in the middle of the top of the smartphone, next to it is a flash, and on the other hand - a stereo speaker. Pleasantly surprises the buyers with the fact that there is a matte coating on the phone. It is this that helps the device not to slip in its hands, and it's not necessary to acquire a cover. The back cover adjoins the smartphone very tightly, so nothing lyuftit and does not creak when used. On the lower touch panel in the middle there is a blue circular control ring and two more buttons, the focus of which can be changed independently. For example, to recall a menu or instantly start the camera. On the bottom end panel are a microphone and micro-usb-connector for connecting the charger or cable. Smartphone ZTE Blade L3 Gray reviews received in appearance the most positive. Customers like the classic and at the same time unusual design of the device, which is still different from the same type of budget, but already well-known firms.

Connectivity

Pleasantly pleased with the presence of two active SIM cards. In modern times, a rare person manages to call only one. And everyone has their own reasons for acquiring a dual-purpose device. The format of the sim card is supported by a mini-size. With this, problems no longer arise. Cellular operators by default provide sim cards of different sizes. They are inserted into the Blade L3 under the back cover, for which you have to pull out the battery. This is done without much effort, but at the same time the battery holds tight, not crashing out on its own. Antenna at the smartphone is strong enough, the connection catches confidently even in problematic places, where the coverage area is not too high-quality. It is noteworthy that the first slot for the SIM card has a moisture sensor. The device notifies that a moist SIM card is inserted. The notification appears in the shortcut bar. Wi-Fi also works very well, the access point holds up to the last, as long as the coverage area allows it.

operating system

Naturally, this is popular and most oftenused Android. But the version of it is not the freshest - 4.4.2. ZTE Blade L3 Gray, reviews of which are still more positive for their price category, you can, if you want, upgrade to the fifth version of the operating system. A smartphone will pull it. To update, you only need to run a special ZTE application that is installed in the phone by default. A new version of the firmware is available on the official website. Visually, the operating system looks standard, nothing surprising in it. But to unlock the screen, you do not need to slide your finger across the display, as many have become accustomed to, but hold for a few seconds in any area. This is not convenient for everyone, but in general, you can get used to it.

Inner memory

It is not so much - 8 GB. For those who are not enough to store all the important files and information of this volume, there is a slot for a memory card (micro-SD). Supports up to 32 GB. However, as practice shows, for standard applications and software there is enough and a standard place. ZTE Blade L3 8 GB, reviews about which speak about fast performance, really rarely requires a memory card. And the excessive cache and garbage that appears when using applications can be cleared. In this case, no hangs will not occur, which is very nice.

RAM

For a budget smartphone it's enough - 1024 MB. As a result, the device simply "flies", and applications work clearly, without hangs and glitches. Especially happy owners is the fact that demanding and complex technical games are played without lags. Even if the settings are not at all minimal. The smartphone ZTE Blade L3 8 GB, reviews about which in terms of performance is very positive, really good. It can be safely used for games, surfing the Internet and working. For example, office applications without problems show large and voluminous texts in different formats.

Cameras

And this is where the "dog is buried". Despite the fact that the claimed quality of the main rear camera is 8 Mp, the images are not the best. Autofocus works with some slowdown, so it's problematic to remove moving objects. Quality at the same time "lame". The color reproduction is also not quite right. The main colors are slightly darker than they should be, and the brightness is lost. Therefore, it is better to use the camera as an emergency option, when it is very urgent to shoot something. And then it is desirable to process the image. The front camera has a resolution of 2 megapixels. But even here the matrix is ​​not the most outstanding, so making a good self is unlikely to work, even after processing the images. But for communication on video communication with friends and relatives is quite enough and this quality.

Final Review

For its cost, 6-8 thousand rubles, a smartphonequite qualitative. Which confirm the feedback. ZTE Blade L3 is available in two colors - gray (Gray) and white (White). At the same time at the start of sales, the first option was in demand. The capacity of the battery (2000 mAh) is not too happy for users, but many have already managed to acquire a spare battery and even a mobile charger powerbank. Many recommend buying a smartphone just because it completely works out the money spent on it, works on "hurray", does not fail at the most important moments. Let the camera at the device is not the best, if you use it for its intended purpose (calls, SMS, internet and games), then the device will not be priced. For those who are looking for a budget and reliable option, it's worth paying attention to Blade L3 from ZTE.
