ZTE hasn’t released any new phones in the US recently but today the company announced the new Blade A7 Prime and Blade 10 Prime. Both phones pack entry level specs and attractive prices catering to those on a budget or looking for a secondary device. ZTE has partnered with pre-paid carrier Visible which will offer both new handsets in its portfolio.

The more affordable Blade A7 Prime comes with a 6.09-inch HD+ display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio and a waterdrop notch for its 5MP selfie shooter. The back has a matte cloth-like texture paired with a single 16MP F/2.0 camera, LED flash and fingerprint scanner. Another nice design touch is the red-colored power button.

"ZTE hasn’t released any new phones in the US recently" The global version of the Axon 10 pro doesn't count, I see. It's a pretty decent looking phone for under $600.
