Display and Camera
Sporting a 5-inch LCD display, ZTE Avid Plus offers decent screen estate for content viewing and gaming. But you will do well to limit your clarity expectation given this one features a measly FWVGA resolution of 854 x 480 pixels for a lowly pixel density of about 196 ppi.
The touchscreen is protected by scratch-resistant Dragontrail glass. The story is not much different in the camera department. The phone is equipped with a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 2-megapixel selfie camera. These snappers may deliver good enough images, but do not expect anything spectacular.
Hardware and Software
ZTE Avid Plus is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor paired with an Adreno 304 GPU. The processing speed is capped at just 1.1 GHz and support is given to the CPU by a measly 1 GB of RAM. Onboard storage memory is 8 GB, almost a third of which has already been taken up by system resources.
On the bright side, you will be able to expand storage by another 32 GB with a microSD card. The Avid Plus will run on Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system, which is increasingly becoming the minimum to be expected these days.
Miscellaneous Specs
Juice will be supplied to the phone by a 2300mAh battery which is rated to be capable of supporting about 14 and half days of standby time. ZTE Avid Plus supports blazing-fast 4G LTE (Cat 4) connectivity. MicroUSB 2.0, Bluetooth 4.1 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with mobile hotspot are also among the available connectivity options.
The device has an integrated Wi-Fi calling feature which will be useful when you find yourself in an area with cellular coverage issues.
Pricing and Availability
ZTE Avid Plus is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. ZTE Avid Plus Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N25,000 to N32,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
