Promising an even sharper multimedia and gaming experience than its predecessors, the Blade III can be purchased in store or online from Virgin Media from today for £79.99 PAYG or from £13 a month.
The latest addition to the successful Blade family, the ZTE Blade III features a larger screen, memory capacity of 2.5GB which can be further expanded with a 32 GB memory card and Android 4.0, providing a smooth user experience at a modest price point.
“We paid close attention to user feedback when designing the Blade III. It is the first smartphone in its price range with a 4-inch touch screen and Android 4.0 and is very well suited for the UK market. We believe that the ZTE Blade III will bring a quality mobile experience to a larger UK audience,” said Kalam Meah, Account Director, ZTE UK.
The expanded storage memory of the Blade III offers extra space for music, apps, pictures and games while the 4-inch WVGA touch screen and upgraded operating system provide a sharp multimedia experience. The 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, and support for video and audio standards including MPEG4 and AAC+ makes it easier and more fun to watch movies, use social networks and listen to music. This, combined with the sleek body and modern design of the phone prove that ZTE is delivering on its promise of better performance for money.
Jamie Heywood, director of mobile at Virgin Media said, “With expandable storage and the most affordable 4 inch screen on the market, the ZTE Blade III offers customers plenty of smartphone bang for their buck. The Blade III is a great addition to our range and when combined with Virgin Media’s ‘Premiere’ tariff which offers unlimited data and calls from just £21 per month, it’s proof that you can go big with your smartphone without breaking the bank.”
