What we don't like about ZTE Blade V80 Design (4GB + 256GB)

  • Audio quality is a drawback; the single speaker can sound muffled
  • Not ideal for competitive or graphically demanding gaming, with some slowdowns and stability issues
  • Cameras are only serviceable for basic use; portrait mode and macro shots struggle
  • Facial recognition is inconsistent, especially in low-light conditions
  • Some minor lags can occur when scrolling or navigating the UI
  • Video recording is limited to 1080p at 30fps and lacks optical image stabilization
  • UI customizations are limited, and long-term OS updates are uncertain
  • Plastic back panel, while durable, does not feel as premium as metal alternatives

Verdict

The ZTE Blade V80 Design (4GB + 256GB) is a budget-friendly smartphone offering a sleek, flagship-inspired design with a large 6.75-inch IPS LCD display featuring a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a bright 1,000 nits peak brightness. It is powered by the Unisoc T7280 (12nm) processor, comes with 4GB of RAM (expandable) and generous 256GB internal storage, and includes a capable 50MP main camera, 16MP front camera, and a long-lasting 5,000mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging. Key pros are the large, high-refresh-rate screen, ample storage, good battery life, and premium design at an affordable price, while typical cons for its price point include the use of a single, slightly underwhelming loudspeaker and performance that may struggle with graphic-intensive games at maximum settings.
