Design and Quality
Weighing in at around 154g and 10.3mm thick the phone is not one of the slimmest to hit the market. It has a bar shaped design like most phones in the market with rounded edges to give it a more comfortable grip in the hand. It is available only in Black color which is bad news for white color lovers. There are three capacitive touch keys at the bottom while the top front is home to the 5MP camera. The 8MP camera and flash is found at the rear along with the ZTE logo below it and the loudspeaker at the bottom. The material is durable plastic which again is the commonly used material for phones these days.
OS and Tech
Good news for ZTE fans because the ZTE Blade QLUX 4G uses the latest version of Android OS KitKat which is v4.4.4. This version brought a lot of new changes that made the user experience for KitKat much better overall. Also the phone can be upgraded to Lollipop v5.0 which not many phones can boast of. The phone has all the standard connectivity features included like WiFi, 3G, 4G, MicroUSB and Bluetooth while GPS and FM Radio are also featured. The phone has however only two sensors to boast of which are Accelerometer and proximity sensor.
Camera and Multimedia
Most phones in the ZTE Blade QLUX 4G's price range has an 8MP camera and same can be said for this handset. The 8MP camera comes with a led flash for taking photos at night or in low lighting. The camera can take photos with a max resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels and has autofocus technology as well. The front camera is 5MP which is good enough for high quality selfies and videos as well as video chatting via Skype and such apps. The phone has a built in FM Radio app and music & video players which can be used with the bundled in handset.
Battery and Memory
The ZTE Blade QLUX 4G uses a 2200mAh battery which promises a decent talk time of 11 hours 40mins on 2G and 9 hours 40 mins on 3G with a standby time of 250 hours on both 2G and 3G while no details of 4G usage are available. The internal memory is on the low side with only 8GB offered but it does come with a MicroSD option to expand available memory. The RAM is 1GB which is enough for Android KitKat to give smooth performance with few if any crashed due to low memory. Multitasking will be easily performed but can cause the phone to slow down eventually if a lot of apps are open.

Verdict
Overall the handset is a nice package at the price offered. It has the option to upgrade to the latest version of Android i.e. v5.0 Lollipop which is something its rivals Karbonn MACHONE and Celkon Millennia ME Q54 do not offer. Its leg up over the rivals continues with 4G support and higher battery capacity. The price at which the ZTE Blade QLUX 4G is offered is great and anyone who is looking for a 4G phone with Android OS that won’t break the bank needs to look no further.
