Virgin Media cuts the mustard with ZTE Blade V

Virgin Media has teamed up with ZTE Corporation (ZTE) to bring the ZTE Blade V to its line up of Pay As You Go smartphones and will be the first network to stock the handset in the UK when it hits the shelves nationwide on September 4th.

Available for just £71.991 from Virgin Media stores, the Blade V is designed to deliver a slick smartphone experience with even more processing power than its predecessors and competitors in this price segment. Its quad-core 1.2 GHz Qualcomm chip-set, 1GB of processing memory and 4GB of storage memory can effortlessly power even the largest of app libraries.

As well as packing more power per pound than the competition, the latest addition to the thriving Blade family runs on the Android Jelly Bean operating system and boasts a 5MP camera auto-focus, flash, and panoramic shooting mode.

Ideal for those who work on the go, the Blade V also offers Kingsoft Office suite pre-embedded as well as access to over a million Android apps via Google Play.

Jamie Heywood, director of mobile at Virgin Media said: With a powerful quad core chipset under the bonnet, the ZTE Blade V is ideal for people who want to lead a data-powered lifestyle and easily capture, store and share content on the go. By combining it with our VIP SIM Only deal, which gives you unlimited data, texts and minutes for just £15 per month, customers can reap the benefits of this slick smartphone without spending a fortune.

Kalam Meah, Account Director, ZTE UK said: We strongly believe smartphone technology should be accessible to everyone, taking on board feedback from our customers, the Blade V series is designed to deliver a rich, multi-media experience at a more affordable price point than ever before.

Virgin Media previously teamed up with ZTE to launch the ZTE Blade III, the Tania Windows Phone, the Grand X and the best selling prepay smartphone ZTE Kis.
