ZTE Blade V60 Design

The ZTE Blade V60 Design measures 164.2 mm tall, 75.3 mm wide, and 8.6 mm thick, with a total volume of 106.33 cm³ and a weight of 198 g. It is a standard, non-folding handset without a rugged build, and it offers no water resistance rating.

The ZTE Blade V60 Design uses an IPS LCD touchscreen measuring 6.6 inches, with a resolution of 720 x 1612 pixels at a pixel density of 267 ppi and a 90Hz refresh rate. The display does not feature branded damage-resistant glass, and it lacks support for HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and Always-On Display functionality. There is no secondary screen present on this device.

The device is powered by the Unisoc T606 chipset, built on a 12 nm process with an 8-thread CPU running all cores at 1.6 GHz using big.LITTLE and HMP architecture, paired with 6GB of DDR4 RAM at 1600 MHz and 256GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage. Graphics are handled by the Mali G57 MP1 GPU clocked at 650 MHz with 64 shading units, supporting DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2, with integrated graphics and a maximum memory bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s. The chipset includes integrated LTE, TrustZone security, and a 10W TDP, with cache configured as 128 KB L1, 2 MB L2, and 1 MB L3. Benchmark results place the chip at 240,001 on AnTuTu, 1,391 multi-core and 371 single-core on Geekbench 6, 1,175 multi-core and 313 single-core on Geekbench 5, and 2,663 on PassMark with a single-core PassMark score of 988. The maximum supported memory amount is 14GB.

The rear camera system is a dual-lens setup with a 50 MP primary sensor at f/1.8 and a 2 MP secondary lens at f/2.4, both using a CMOS sensor without back-side illumination or optical image stabilization. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus with continuous autofocus during video, though laser autofocus is absent. Video recording is supported at 1080p 30 fps, with slow-motion capture available, while HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not supported. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, but manual shutter speed and RAW shooting are not available; additional shooting modes include burst, panorama, timelapse, and HDR. A single LED flash is present without dual-tone or RGB configurations. The 8 MP front camera is a single-lens unit with no front-facing flash and is not positioned under the display, and 360-degree panorama and 3D photo or video capture are not supported.

The device runs Android 13 and includes a solid set of privacy controls, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access management, and the ability to block app tracking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not present. Customization options span theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, and an extra dim mode, while focus modes and app offloading are not supported. Productivity features include split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, Live Text, sharing intents, customizable notifications, and the ability to play games while downloading. The OS also supports widgets, a child lock, multi-user accounts, offline voice recognition, voice commands, on-device machine learning, and phone tracking. Wi-Fi password sharing, battery health check, Quick Start, and PC mode are not available, and the device does not receive direct OS vendor updates.

The ZTE Blade V60 Design is equipped with a 5000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery that supports 22.5W fast charging, though wireless charging is not available. A battery level indicator is present, giving users a clear read of remaining charge at a glance.

The device includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack for wired audio connectivity, but it lacks stereo speakers, outputting sound through a single speaker only. On the wireless audio side, none of the advanced Bluetooth codec standards are supported, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC.

The device supports dual SIM cards and connects via Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC, though 5G is not available and the connection is limited to 4G with download speeds of 300 Mbit/s and upload speeds of 100 Mbit/s. Wired connectivity is handled through a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0, and there is no HDMI output. An external memory slot is present for expandable storage. Location services include GPS and Galileo support, while a compass, gyroscope, and barometer are absent; the accelerometer is the only motion sensor included. Security is covered by a fingerprint scanner, with no iris scanner, 3D facial recognition, or stylus included. Features such as crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, ANT+, heart rate monitoring, infrared sensor, DLNA certification, motion tracking, optical tracking, and a built-in projector are all absent.

The device includes a video light for use during video recording, while the display is flat and standard — there is no curved screen, sapphire glass protection, or e-paper panel.
