80% ZTE Blade S6 Plus review: An Android Lollipop phablet with some sweet specs
Source: Tech Advisor Archive.org version
The ZTE Blade S6 Plus is a nice phablet for £200, but it doesn't offer enough to make it worth an extra £50 on top of the standard model, which already has a large 5in screen. In comparison to that phone it's lost some of the features we liked, and despite having a larger battery runtime still isn't great. If you're looking for a 5.5in phablet at £200, our money would be on the Kingzone Z1.

Model: In this modern age, where smartphones come with all sorts of fancy additives and features, one might struggle to find a fuss free but practical phone that gives users easy usability but comes with a reasonable price tag. In steps the ZTE Blade S6 Plus. The external design of this smartphone may not look very original, as it bears a strong resemblance to many generic boxy designs. However, one must not judge its by appearances alone. IPS LCD display screen measures 5.5 inches with a 720p resolution and a pixel density of 267 ppi. The IPS technology is especially crucial for color vibrancy, brightness and viewing angles.

As to the hardware in this phone, we start with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 64-bit octa core processor with a clock rate of 1.5 GHz. This is paired with an Adreno 405 GPU and 2 GB of RAM.

Additionally there is a 16 GB built-in storage which can be expanded by up to 32 GB with a microSD card. The memory is partitioned: a 4.29 GB area for the system function, a 3.87 GB area for apps and the remaining 7.83 GB for various user data and entertainment.

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.
