Design and Display

Like the bigger model is also has an 18:9 aspect ratio with a smaller screen though, of 5.5-inch . Also, ZTE Blade V9 Vita comes with an IPS panel so you will not see the deep blacks and contrast as in OLED screens. Sporting a 720 X 1440 pixel display, not much details and colours are not as vivid as in higher resolution display.
Battery and Camera
For power, both ZTE Blade V9 Vita and the V9 is supplied with batteries of almost the same capacity, with the latter having an additional 100mAh.
