ZTE Blade V8 Full Specification

The ZTE Blade V8 has a dual-camera setup where a main 13MP camera is paired with a 2MP secondary cam, on the back. This allows various effects to be applied to the image, including background blur (a.k.a. bokeh).  Another feature being highlighted is the V8's ability to take 3D photos. The phone can't display glasses-free 3D, mind you, and we're not really sure what these 3D images will look like. Camera aside, the ZTE Blade V8 has mid-range written all over it. Specs include a Snapdragon 435 chip, a 5.2-inch Full HD display, a 2730mAh battery, a fingerprint sensor, and LTE support across a multitude of bands. Also, the phone will come in two configurations: one with 2GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage, and another sporting 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.
