Appearance, materials, controls, assembly
Externally, the Blade X3 looks like a typical budget smartphone without any eye-catching features, it is worth highlighting perhaps the unusually designed bottom panel with a touch ring, but more on that later.
The user can choose one of three versions of the device: gold, white or black. Pay attention to the official photos of the device, in the photo with the white model, the frames were specially reduced for her, it looks, of course, funny.
The back cover is made of matte smooth plastic, fingerprints easily remain on it (although, of course, it is not as easily soiled as gloss or glass), but they can be just as easily removed with any microfiber cloth.
Let's go through the controls:
Front camera and indicator light
Touchpad: Back, Home and Menu buttons
Right end. Power button and volume rocker. The keys have a short hard press, they protrude strongly, it is convenient to use them
Top end. 3.5 mm headphone jack
MicroUSB port and microphone hole
To remove the cover, you need to pry it over the microUSB port. Two slots for microSIM cards are hidden under it, one of them is combined with a slot for a microSD card.
I didn't really like the touch panel, because in the dark I have to grope for it to turn on the backlight. By the way, if you want, you can swap the places of actions for the right and left buttons.
The main speaker has an average volume margin, but good quality, it does not wheeze at maximum volume. As regards the assembly, there are no complaints about the device.
Dimensions (edit)
I should note that despite the impressive battery capacity, ZTE Blade The X3 doesn't feel like a bulky smartphone in the hand. Yes, it is weighty and not as thin as the company's flagships, but all this is within reasonable limits. It is almost as comfortable to hold in the hand as the iPhone 6, adjusted for slightly greater width and weight.
Compared to Apple iPhone 6
Screen
HD-resolution is increasingly appearing in the segment up to 10,000 rubles, and this fact makes me very, very happy. Speaking specifically about the display in the Blade X3, then it has good viewing angles, a good range in brightness, mediocre behavior in the sun and no oleophobic coating. That is, this is a typical average, but the screen is quite good for its money.
Operating system
The device works under Android 5.1 s proprietary shell MiFavour. It seemed to me that specifically in X3, the version of the shell is greatly cut down, so all the elements look the same as on stock Android, the only exception is the launcher with rounded icons. To be honest, I like that you can put another launcher and actually get a device on pure Android with a couple of chips from ZTE like Russian letters in the dialer, for example.
Performance
Responsible for performance updated version good old MT6735 with the index "P". Its power is enough for the eyes for most everyday tasks and simple casual toys. More powerful games like Asphalt 8 will also work, but at medium settings.
Autonomous work
In fact, the battery in this model is removable, but in my sample it was covered with a warranty sticker, so, apparently, the manufacturer does not recommend replacing it yourself.
As for the battery life, the impressive capacity allows the Blade X3 to work for a couple of days with an average activity of two hours on the screen (twitter, mail, browser, instant messengers - all this on mobile internet). In our tests, the device also showed excellent results.
Camera
The camera shoots mediocre. You can take normal shots in sunny weather, but noise and pixelation appear under artificial lighting. Front camera despite high resolution, also not impressed.
Wireless interfaces
The smartphone is inexpensive, so no NFC or newfangled Wi-Fi standards there is no. But there is support for two SIM-cards and a fast cold start GPS for MediaTek chipsets.
Conclusion
I had no complaints about the quality of speech transmission: you and your interlocutor hear each other perfectly.
In retail, for the ZTE Blade X3 they ask for 9,000 rubles. For this money you get a smartphone with a capacious battery and good display... Of the shortcomings, I will single out only a mediocre camera and 1 GB random access memory... And the lack of an oleophobic coating, of course. In my opinion, ZTE came out with a good budget smartphone, because they did not save on key parameters (speed and operating time, screen quality). If you are looking for an inexpensive HD-resolution device, then be sure to check out this model.
Of the direct competitors for this money, there is only Xiaomi Redmi 3, but it is wrong to compare it with the Blade X3, because Xiaomi will be taken by those who are ready to wait for the device for two or three weeks and more or less know the brand, and ZTE can be purchased in most retail stores ...

Removal process video back cover from smartphone ZTE BLADE ( universal approach for different models Blade line)
In my experience, I often come across an unexpected user question smartphones ZTE Blade X3, how to remove the cover from the machine. The "stumbling block" prompted me to write this short article, which, I hope, will help users deal with such a pressing issue. I strongly do not recommend carrying out a more serious disassembly of the device on your own without experience in this area, even following the video instructions may not help, since the processes will require both an equipped place and a special tool that cannot be replaced with household accessories.
The only reason why you want to perform an "autopsy" is to replace the SIM card or reinstall the memory card, because the battery of the device is not removable and you hardly need to remove it (the process is not complicated, but it is only necessary if the smartphone comes out of building and will not boot at all and react to the power keys).
The model, in general, is very good, and I can safely recommend it, thanks to the excellent battery (it comes with a seriously optimized software, in the development of which the manufacturer put a lot of effort, as a result - a unique time autonomous work) and a very decent filling for the price the brand is asking for. But jambs were not without, and they crept up from an unexpected side - from the back.
The fact is that replacing the back cover of Blade X3 is a demanded and ordinary process, since the plastic used by the manufacturer for its production does not impress with its strength characteristics, and in a couple of months it wears out quite strongly (the soiling of the surface compared to the sensitivity to scratches can do not take into account at all). But it must be admitted that the thermal conductivity of the case is very competent, even when heated to 50 degrees, it is convenient to use a smartphone and the user will not experience any discomfort.
To successfully open the device, it is enough to use the information from the stock instructions that comes with the kit, but at the first attempts you will come across tight latches that will not want to open without applying far from neat efforts. To avoid damaging anything, I recommend reading a few paragraphs of text below.
Before disassembling the device, think about whether your budget will be able to survive the small expenses that will go to the services of the ZTE service center masters who will carry out all the necessary operations in a few minutes with a guarantee for all their actions. If you decide to carry out all the actions yourself, read on.
When removing, focus on the microUSB connector, it is in its area that it is easiest to pry off the plastic of the cover. When opening, you can of course only use your nails, but for best efficiency try to find some kind of metal thin spatula or plate. It will be convenient for her to open with several movements around the entire perimeter of the device without damaging any parts. I am sure you will succeed.
