ZTE rolls out two budget-friendly Blade V8 phones at MWC
ZTE V8
Cost-conscious buyers take note: ZTE's budget-friendly phone family is growing.
At the Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona today, ZTE took the wraps off two mid-tier phones from its Blade series. Though neither handsets are particularly noteworthy in terms of specs and features, they promise to be easy on the wallet.
The first in the pair is the Blade V8 Mini. It features two cameras: a 13- and 2-megapixel shooter on the back. Similar to the Apple iPhone 7 Plus, the dual-camera setup lets you shoot photos with blurred backgrounds, for an artsy "bokeh" effect. You can also refocus an image with this effect after you've already clicked the shutter.
The two cameras can also render "3D" images by combining two photos together. We'll know more about how these tools work once we get our hands on the device.
Other specs include:
-5-inch HD display
-5.65x2.76x0.35 inches (143.5x70x8.9mm)
-1.4GHz octacore processor
-13- and 2-megapixel rear camera; 5-megapixel front-facing camera
-2GB RAM
-16GB of internal memory with the option to expand with a microSD card
-2,800mAh non-removable battery
-Android 7.0 Nougat
-Fingerprint reader ZTE also announced the Blade V8 Lite. Apparently inspired by "French upholstery" (whatever that means), the phone comes in black, gold and silver. It also has a 5-inch display but its lower battery capacity and standard 8-megapixel camera mean its specs are a bit scaled down compared to the Mini. Additional features are:

-2GB RAM
-16GB of internal memory with the option to expand up to 128GB

These phones aren't particularly exciting given their mid-range specs, but they're expected to be competitively priced and may be good if you're in the market for a cheap Android phone. The V8 Mini will be available in countries in Asia Pacific and Europe, while the V8 Lite will roll out to Italy, Germany and Spain.
Neither phones will come to the US, though we do have one the Blade V8 Pro, announced this year at CES, which features slightly better specs.
Nokia 3 and 5 bring up the middle of its new Android phone lineup Nokia is back in the game and expanding its range. The legendary Finnish company probably made your first phone, but its dominance came to an abrupt end in 2014 when it sold its entire phone business to Microsoft. Fortunately for fans, a bunch of former Nokia employees have formed a company called HMD Global to make Nokia phones anew. They began with the Nokia 6, which is now joined by the mid-range Nokia 3 and Nokia 5. The Nokia 5 is a 5.2-inch mid-range model with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The 3 is a 5-inch phone with a quad-core chip. Both phones are loaded with pure Android -- and nothing else. Nokia has added no extra bloatware to the Android Nougat firmware, which means the company can promise they stay "pure, secure and up to date". Nokia says it will also provide monthly security updates so your phone stays healthy. The new phones are set to be released in spring thi...
LG X Power 2: Hands-on with an absolute battery beast A full day of battery life is pretty much the holy grail of the smartphone world, where intense use sucks down battery reserves faster than a kid with a juice box. But two days of battery life? That's a pretty rare feat. LG's X Power 2, a followup to last year's X Power, claims it can go two days on a single charge, driven by a high-capacity battery. It clocks in at 4,500mAh, compared to the X Power's 4,100mAh battery pack. And no, you can't remove it. LG claims it can play 15 hours of continuous video, and charge up to 50 percent of its battery in an hour. The whole charge should take two hours total. Like most other phones, it uses Quick Charge technology. But what does "two days" mean? A full 48 hours of use or more like 16 to 20? We won't know for sure until we test it ourselves. We did get a chance to see the X Power 2 in person. While it's got mostly midrange specs, the phone ...
