ZTE is finally back in the Philippines as it recently launched the Blade V40 series, which includes the new ZTE Blade V40 Design.
As the name suggests, the ZTE Blade V40 Design has the looks to live up to its name. It comes with a unique design in the back with gold accents, which is available in Starry Black and Sky Blue colors.

As for the specs, we have a 2.0GHz UNISOC T616 octa-core processor, with 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of expandable storage.
On the front, we have a decent 6.6-inch FHD+ IPS display with an 8-megapixel camera on top of it.

At the back, you can spot a sharp 50-megapixel main camera joined by the obligatory 2-megapixel macro and depth sensors.
It then has a relatively small 4,500mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging. Software is handled by the Android 12-based MyOS 12.

The ZTE Blade V40 Design with 4GB/128GB configuration is now available in the Philippines for a price of Php7,999.
