Appearance and design
The design of the smartphone is unremarkable. The device is similar to other representatives of this price category. Its dimensions are 143.2x72.7x8.9 mm, weight - 134 g. Above the screen there is a camera for video calls, a speaker, sensors that react to proximity and lighting. There is also a small LED indicator that indicates the presence of notifications and a critically low battery level. Below the display there are three touch buttons: the central one is marked with a small circle, the other two are marked with dots.
The camera on the back of the phone is quite large and protrudes slightly above the overall space. There is also a flash and a multimedia speaker. The brand name is printed closer to the center. Under the cover of the smartphone there is a removable battery, 2 slots for SIM cards (the dimensions of which must comply with the Mini-SIM standard) and a slot for an SD card with a maximum capacity of up to 32 GB. The first SIM card can operate in 3G mode, the second - only in GSM.
On the top edge of the smartphone there is a standard audio jack, offset to the side. On the bottom side there is a microphone and Micro-USB input. The left side is devoid of elements, the right side has a volume carriage and a lock key.
The dimensions of the smartphone ensure comfortable use with one hand. The body is slightly rough to prevent accidental slipping. The assembly is satisfactory; no backlash or creaking was detected.
Display
The display of the ZTE Blade L3 smartphone is made using IPS technology, has a size of 5 inches and an HD resolution of 1280x720 px. The pixel density is 294 ppi, which provides good images without grain. The screen of the device is not protected by additional glass, so it can be easily scratched. Immediately after purchase, you should apply a protective film or glass. There is also no oleophobic coating.
Multi-touch display supports 5 touches simultaneously. The brightness of the smartphone is enough to work indoors, while outdoors on a sunny day the image becomes barely noticeable.
The minimum brightness level is too high - in complete darkness it blinds the eyes. Automatic backlight adjustment does not work accurately, making the screen too dim.
Software
The smartphone has pure Android 4.4.2 installed without a third-party shell. The system contains a small number of pre-installed programs: standard applications, Google services, social networks, Kingston Office. Android is not overloaded with third-party installations, so it works quickly, without freezing.
To unlock the device after pressing the physical button on the side, you need to place your finger on the screen and hold it for a while. If there are unread notifications or calls, a special icon will appear on the display.
At the top of the display there is a hidden panel that allows you to view incoming messages and make basic settings (including setting the default SIM card). Smartphone touch keys can be reassigned for left-handed users. A long press on the center button will launch the Google Now app.
Android 4.4.2 (KitKat)
The device has 8 GB of internal memory. It is divided into system (total 2.16 GB, 1.69 GB available) and user (3.75 GB available). In this case, the user memory can be expanded using an SD card, while the system memory remains unchanged. As a result, the user has a very limited amount of memory to accommodate additional applications, since they cannot be installed on the SD card.
Sound
The main speaker of the smartphone is located on the back side, next to the camera module. When holding the phone with one hand, the sound is not blocked. If you put it on a table, it’s the same thing, since the protruding lens prevents a tight fit. The volume of the device is enough to not miss a call in a noisy environment. At maximum values, a slight crackling begins in the speakers. High and mid frequencies are present, bass is absent.
The speaker is loud and clear. There are no problems when talking with the interlocutor. The sound quality in the headphones is normal. Using an equalizer will add missing frequencies.
Performance
Media Tek MT6582M
The ZTE Blade L3 is powered by a quad-core 32-bit Media Tek MT6582M processor clocked at 1.3 GHz. The Mali-400 MP2 accelerator is responsible for displaying graphic elements.
The amount of RAM is 1 GB, about 280 MB free.
Synthetic tests of the device showed the following results:
- AnTuTu – 17426 points;
- 3D Mark – 2072 points.
The smartphone copes well with launching simple applications, communicating on social networks, watching videos and searching the Internet. When simultaneously downloading a large file and using applications, the phone begins to noticeably freeze. The same picture is observed when updating applications in the background.
Real-life testing in games went better than expected. Call of Mini Zombies 2 runs on high settings, NFS No Limits and Asphalt 8 on standard settings, which are set by default when first launched. Real Racing 3 exhibits slight stuttering, but it doesn't impact gameplay too much.
Equipment
The smartphone from ZTE is sold in a nice branded blue and white box. Minimum equipment: power supply, cable and manual.
Appearance
ZTE Blade L3 has a classic design with memorable blue accents. Under the screen there is a standard ZTE ring with two dots: three touch keys whose functionality can be changed.
I liked the matte coating on the ends and back cover, as a result of which the device does not slip in the hand. The back cover is not secure enough and can be removed very easily. Most likely, it will quickly begin to play. So, don't remove the back panel of this smartphone too often.
The Blade L3 smartphone is equipped with a 5-inch touchscreen display made on an IPS matrix in HD format, the resolution of which is 1280 × 720 pixels.
The screen is quite dim even if you select maximum brightness in the settings. This is frustrating: on a sunny day the phone will be difficult to use. When the device is tilted, the display also becomes blind, but it reflects the surrounding image very well, which makes it look like a mirror. But this is a completely useless option.
Above the phone's display are the speaker, camera and sensors.
On the back cover there is a noticeably protruding camera, next to it there is a flash and a speaker. Two SIM card slots and a memory card slot are located under the cover.
Bottom: microphone, microusb connector. Top: headset jack.
There's nothing on the left. Right: lock button and combined volume control button.
Connection
The ZTE Blade L3 phone can install two standard SIM cards (mini-SIM format). Such SIM cards were used in almost all phones before and in many phones now.
To install SIM cards, you need to remove the battery. There is a moisture sensor in the SIM1 slot. There are traditional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless adapters, as well as a standard set of sensors.
The connection is received reliably, but judging by the level, the antenna is quite weak. In hard-to-reach areas (basements, places far from towers, densely populated cities), communication will most likely be “limpy.”
In the settings (including quick settings) you can select the SIM card slot for Internet access.
In the settings, you can select the SIM card that the user wants to use for calls and SMS. Communication settings are minimal.
The Phone application is standard and does not stand out in anything special.
The Contacts application is also standard. If the default SIM card is not selected, a selection prompt will be displayed before the call.
operating system
When you first start, the user will be asked to make initial settings: language, WiFi access point, Google account (log in or create a new account).
The smartphone runs Android 4.4.2 with a standard Android interface.
To unlock, you need to press and hold your finger on the screen. If there are missed calls or SMS, a notification icon will appear on the monitor. If you hold your finger on an icon, the corresponding application will open. Personally, I don't like the idea of holding - just tapping is much more convenient.
A curtain extends from above with notifications and quick settings: turn on and off communication elements and screen settings.
In the curtain you can select the default SIM card in applications for calling or dialing SMS.
The device has a minimum of applications installed:
When you hold down the central hardware key, the Google Now application launches with various prompts.
The functions of the left and right buttons can be changed in the settings: left “back” and right “menu” or vice versa. Holding down the menu button brings up a list of recent applications.
Performance
The “heart” of the smartphone is the MediaTek MT6582M processor. It is a quad-core processor clocked at 1.3 GHz and a Mali 400 MP2 graphics controller clocked at 416 MHz. The amount of RAM is 1 GB.
The result of AnTuTu Benchmark 5.7.1 gives 17,426 points. Average result for comfortable use of a multifunctional smartphone.
3D Mark result 2072 points. The speed is not enough for modern games. The Quadrant Professional Edition produced a score of 6932 points.
Multimedia
The phone plays 1080p video. The standard player may not work with certain codecs (for example, AC3), but otherwise works well.
