ZTE has announced the Blade S6, a mid-range handset boasting a 5-inch screen and a physical design that, while hardly original, still looks slick. The 4G LTE-enabled device should handle lightweight use just fine thanks to its Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor and Adreno 405 GPU. With Android 5.0, 2GB of RAM, and a 13MP rear-facing camera (5MP on the front), it's packing enough to hopefully keep buyers happy, especially considering its $249.99 price tag.

ZTE isn't highlighting the Blade S6's screen resolution, which suggests that it probably isn't particularly stellar. If you're concerned about battery life, then this is a good thing. The phone should last quite a while when taking into account the 2,400mAh battery tucked away inside. Storage needs are handled by 16GB of internal memory and a microSD card slot.

On the software front, we're looking at the MiFlavor launcher and a number of gimmicks, such as the ability to turn music on by holding down the volume button and drawing a V in the air and shaking the device to enable the flashlight.

All things considered, it might just be worth picking up a ZTE Blade S6 from AliExpress when the phone goes on sale early next month. It will also appear on Amazon and eBay in select markets.
