Immersive Gaming Experience
Structured for gaming, it’s only natural the phone supports features that make the experience delectable. First off, there are two shoulder buttons on the right side of the smartphone.
Putting the phone in a landscape mode makes you use these touch-sensitive game buttons the same way you use a game controller. Can you recall the L1 and R1 buttons on gamepads? It’s that sort of functionality. Thinking of gaming with more physical buttons; ZTE took care of that with the support of game controllers. However, these Bluetooth-controlled joystick accessories are sold separately.
While gaming, there are limited chances of the phone getting unnecessarily hot. This is due to the air & liquid cooling system called ICE integrated on the phone’s chipset.
It helps to decrease the phone’s temperature by 13°C. As a result, the CPU’s performance is heightened by 70%.

What’s more, the phone’s stereo speakers supported with DTS 7.1 audio and 3D Surround helps to beef up the sounds emitted while in action. If the supposed 4D gaming feel is anything to go by, the phone will undoubtedly blow your mind. The 4D experience is dished out through a “4D shock” haptic feedback on the device.
Vibrant Chip & Superb Memory
Well, it’ll be a terrible thing for a game-centric smartphone to lag in the process of gaming. To suit users, ZTE utilised Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line system-on-chip, Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 as the phone’s chip. The chipset possesses as much as eight cores primed at 2.8GHz speed for reliable performance. Attached to the phone’s chip is a 10GB RAM to coordinates its multitasking vigour & seamless running of multiple apps. Other editions of the smartphone support 6GB and 8GB RAM. Mind you, the Adreno 630 GPU on this chip dictates how efficient gaming graphics are relayed on this phone. In the ascending order of the RAM’s magnitude, storage options of 64GB, 128GB and 256GB are availed to the smartphone.
