ZTE Blade Review
ZTE Blade is quite a good phone with Android, at a very reasonable price. So far I've used the HTC Dream (G1). Even then I had in hand a purely touchscreen phone Samsung Galaxy (first version), so I will compare these phones.
Display
Resolution: 800 × 480 is a very good display of this phone is noticeably better than the G1. Web pages open at the phone in landscape orientation can be read without magnification. Not comfortable, but the G1, the letters just a few smudges. Galaxy has the same resolution, but the quality of Super AMOLED is noticeably better. Especially on the phone until the protective film (not last too long, beyond display, so that insertion into a pocket pair) automatically according to ambient light sensor adjusts the brightness quite weak. When you peel off the foil is better, but even so, one may use to cancel the automatic brightness and sets the maximum.
Display has a dual touch. Which version is easier to multi touch, as well as uses such as HTC (youtube video showing a lot of display problems). On closer site works perfectly. Sensitivity to touch is also very good.
Sound
The sound from the speaker phone is not much of anything. Galaxy plays like a good laptop. Headphone output is very good. The FM radio has better sound than the Galaxy, just could not force me to play the radio speaker (headphones and connect the output switch on the speaker). I tested the sound of the Koss Porta Pro, the original stones I have not unwrapped, because even if they happened to be of exceptional quality, they are just stones.
It is necessary to draw attention to one small but important problem. If you connect headphones to the phone, the phone sets of headphones and headphone input though no microphone. Which in the case of ordinary headphones means that if someone calls, you need the best show of the phone disconnect the headphones, otherwise you will hear a counterparty (through headphones), but the counterparty you do not.
Performance
The processor in the phone is powerful, but quite sufficient for me (especially given the price). RAM is a very decent 512 megabytes, which is a theory like the Galaxy, but in practice more. ZTE Blade is not the primary graphics android body, which in the case of Galaxy takes quite a lot of memory (estimate 100MB).
Great RAM makes the phone unnecessarily terminate the application, which is very positive effect on the speed of startup applications. They have already been launched to merely display, which is much faster than the start. In addition, the applications show where you left off (eg the browser will remain open all the pages before secretion as an application). Personally, I prefer to take more RAM than a faster processor.
The overall impression
The phone ZTE Blade is essential in android version 2.2. It contains no body from the manufacturer that would unnecessarily slowed phone. If you do not like this environment, the Market are available launcher.
Phone is the optimum size, just fits in my hand. A good hold.
Handling is surprisingly good. I like the appearance, but this depends on taste.
In the CR, sell ZTE Blade Black (glossy black), but ZTE Blade Grey. The color is almost black, but dull and catch that fingerprints. Not to slip in hand, denies such a slip at all.
The internal memory is very small, definitely take advantage of the opportunity to move some applications to the card. Period of two years ago, when an application for Android, which had over 0.5 megabytes was already large, is simply gone. That's why I bought the phone fast memory card. Supplied only has 2GB (I do not know how fast), which lasts only undemanding users who are not loaded into the phone multimedia.
The camera would not be much of anything. But according to me is a little better than the G1. It does not flash, so shooting applicable under good lighting conditions. But the text on the photo paper is in the room calmly. On the other hand, the photos on the internet I found a phone unnecessarily wrongs. Outside nefotí so dark (or it can be set).
Moving with hardware keyboard
The software keyboard can be used to. The default is there any imitation Swype. Perhaps she should not be used, but only for writing normal text. On a normal keyboard to type can be only a slowdown and a few minor typos. For 5 mm thick phone is worth it.
Summary
Simply phone in a better quality / price ratio, with and without hardware android keyboard is not.
The closest is about the LG Optimus One, which costs about 1000 CZK more, has a smaller display and a menu that divides the body at the pre-installed and installation of the remainder applications.
Then there are phones that cost 2-4x more, eg Samsung Galaxy S, S II, etc. If someone has a problem with the killing of the amount over CZK 10k, whether they choose. Those who want a cheaper phone better, no longer ZTE Blade have done so many compromises would indicate how much the price difference.
Compared with the Galaxy in the ZTE Blade is a little slower processor, display a little worse (with the same resolution), a bit worse camera (but who wants that photo mobiles will not choose or Galaxy), less internal memory (the price of ZTE Blade and count a few hundred paměťovku due to the small internal memory, the Galaxy paměťovka basically it is not needed). But not as many times as worse lower price. On the contrary, the better FM radio, and in practice a bit more ram.
my first android, excellent value for money
consent reviews
sem.dotaz led me to the radio as loud - can it?
just could not force me to play the radio speaker
probably it will not work if someone came to the procedure at the showcase
I stopped reading after "I am the original stones or unwrapped, because even if they happened to be of exceptional quality, they are just stones." If this is the approach to review and final review has predictive value as a box of matches.
Only it is not absolutely saving task for review.
