Reviews for the ZTE Blade V7
All-rounder. The Blade V7 is the newest mid-price product in ZTE's successful Blade lineup. The device offers a decent configuration at a fair price of 250 Euros (~$282, RRP). Read in our report whether the manufacturer has eliminated the former model's drawbacks and improved in the right places.

At £129, this is one of the best budget handsets available to buy right now. If you buy it from Three on a pay monthly contract, expect to pay less than £10 for it. In terms of value for money, the Blade V7 is hard to beat. We do miss the presence of a fingerprint sensor and it would be good to have a slightly higher specced battery but at that price we are definitely not complaining!

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.
