Getting a decently priced smartphone right is a thorny problem. All too often manufacturers aim for Apple-inspired design and a premium feel despite cheaper components and materials, but fall well short.
On paper, we had high hopes for the ZTE Blade S6 but, unfortunately, it is no exception, despite laudable specs for an enticing price.
It’s certainly not a bad-looking device, resplendent with a perfectly reasonable 5 inch FED display which is not going to have pixel-ophiles queuing around the block but won’t upset its mass-market target audience.
But when you try to evoke Apple’s iPhone 6 mixed with a healthy slice of Samsung’s S range you are setting yourself up for a fall.
The curved design might remind you of a certain Cupertino phone but any scrutiny whatsoever will leave you asking why anyone thought apeing the iPhone 6’s design was a good plan – when all it would bring is comparison.
The phone feels fairly well balanced in the hand, but the materials used in construction are certainly not lovingly crafted from a block of angel-kissed aluminium.
