During the presentation of the Xiaomi Mi4i, the Korean giant coined a new adjective to describe smartphones featuring those features and selling price: mid-range flagship. Well, actually the Xiaomi Mi4i is it but we do not forget that competition does not stop.
In recent days, the new ZTE Blade S7 smartphone has been introduced, which can be safely described with the adjective mid-range flagship. But how does it behave against the Xiaomi Mi4i? Let's analyze them from the technical point of view.
Xiaomi Mi4i | ZTE Blade S7 | |
Display | 5 Full HD Thumbs | 5 Full HD Thumbs |
SoC | Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 | Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 |
RAM | 2 GB | 3 GB |
Storage | 16 GB can not be expanded | Expandable 32 GB |
Rear camera | 13 Mpixel | 13 Mpixel |
Front camera | 5 Mpixel | 13 Mpixel |
Connectivity | WiFi ac, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, LTE | WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, LTE |
Battery | 3120 mAh | 2500 mAh |
Operating System | Android Lollipop 5.0.2 | Android Lollipop 5.1 |
Price | 199 € | 265 € |
As you can see, there are some features (display and SoC), some features for the Xiaomi Mi4i (price, battery and connectivity) and some features for the ZTE Blade S7 (expandable memory, 3 GB RAM, front camera from 13 MPEG).
Wanting to give advice as objective as possible, we would recommend the Xiaomi Mi4i to those who are already within the MIUI world and know how the weekly updates mechanism works and those who want to spend less. On the contrary, we would recommend the ZTE Blade S7 to anyone who wants a “less geek” smartphone with some superior technical features.
How do you see this newcomer from ZTE? Would you recommend it?
