The specs are also identical for the front: A 5-megapixel camera is for shooting decent selfies here. However, in contrast to OnePlus' One, it only has a simple LED flash. A 13-megapixel camera from Sony with the option of recording UHD videos is also on the rear of ZTE's smartphone. We only had half the signal strength, but websites still opened quickly.Ī look at the spec sheet of ZTE's Blade S6 under the "Camera" section reminds us of OnePlus' One. The reception was rather middling at a distance of ten meters and through three walls from the router. It is also possible to select between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Support for high-speed Wi-Fi networks in standard 802.11ac is desired? ZTE's Blade S6 can offer that. Note: Only the first SIM slot supports LTE or UMTS the second is limited to GSM. It is also possible to assign calls to a SIM or decide for every call per se. The SIMs can be enabled and disabled singly in the menu, and it is possible to determine a card for mobile data.

Its implementation in Android 5 has also been solved nicely. However, it is actually two slots for nano-SIM cards the Blade S6 supports dual-SIM. The SIM-card tray looks as if it would hold a full-sized SIM when pulled out from the casing with the tool. We always had a good signal in the German o2/E-Plus networks inside and outside of the building in an urban area. The reception in the mobile network is decent. GPRS and UMTS networks are available via four different frequencies, and it is even five in LTE. The wireless module in ZTE's Blade S6 supports mobile networks in GPRS, UMTS and LTE standards in multiple networks. However, none of that is something that cannot be found in Google's Play Store for free. Navigation software, an office suite, a backup manager, file manager, and the messenger "Chaatz" are also preloaded. "AliveShare" makes data sharing with others via Wi-Fi possible. These are implemented as touch buttons below the screen in ZTE's Blade S6. However, it would be more useful on smartphones that fade in a menu bar at the screen's lower edge and thus reduce its size since it contains home, menu and back buttons. For example, "Mi-POP" is a menu that can be pulled out from the side and placed anywhere on the screen.

Some software has been preloaded but not all of it makes sense. The user can even add a blur effect to the background and the transition effects can be defined. Some icons have changed, and it is possible to change wallpaper and color scheme directly on the home screen. However, only minor modifications have been made. ZTE covers it with its self-developed user interface Mifavor UI 3.0. The operating system is based on Google's Android version 5.0. The rounded edges make it pleasant to hold, and the back also has enough grip to prevent the smartphone from slipping out of the hand. ZTE's Blade S6 is certainly a slim smartphone with a casing thickness of 7.7 millimeters, and it is also fairly light at 134 grams. The back cannot be removed, which is noted on a sticker on the back as a precaution. The chassis makes a rigid impression but creaks quietly under pressure that becomes visible in the liquid crystals. The black or white front is only bordered by a shiny metallic plastic back.
Although that is true, the buyer should not expect metal. Talking about the iPhone 6: Not only the naming of ZTE's Blade S6 is quite obviously suggestive of Apple's smartphone, but the casing with its circular touch button below the screen as well as the rounded edges look a lot like the successful model from Cupertino. ZTE's Blade S6 is not a curved smartphone like LG's G Flex 2, and only the edges are rounded like in the latest iPhone 6. ZTE describes its smartphone as "curved," and it even sometimes speaks of a "curved screen." That is a bit misleading.
