Factory reset ZTE Blade V8 Mini. ZTE Blade V8 Lite: characteristics and description ZTE Blade V8 Pro firmware video
How to update the software?
We provide you with different ways to update the software, namely: update using a memory card or update over the air.
To update over the air, you need to connect to a Wi-Fi wireless network or GSM Internet connection and check for updates in the settings.
What should I do if the operating time of the device does not coincide with the operating time declared by the manufacturer?
A smartphone is a complex electronic device that includes the functions of a pocket computer and a cell phone and consumes a large amount of energy to operate these functions. The main amount of energy is spent on the operation of the display module and the GSM transmitting and receiving path. The display brightness is automatically set to maximum in a very bright environment (sunny day) or set manually by the user. Maximum brightness consumes maximum energy. When GSM is operating and with stable and stable reception “at maximum”, the device consumes a minimum amount of energy to maintain communication. If the network signal is unstable and weak, the device requires more power to maintain communication. In the case of “Network Search” in an area where there is no network, the device consumes the maximum amount of energy, which is spent on searching for nearby base stations. To reduce your phone's energy consumption you need to:
1. Disable GPS if not required.
2. Disable mobile Internet if not needed.
3. Disable or delete unnecessary unused applications, because they are in an active state and consume the internal resources of the device.
What should you do if your phone freezes, won’t turn on, or reboots?
The cause of rebooting or freezing in most cases is third-party software or programs.
1. Initially, we recommend that you restore the default factory settings (after saving the information you need). If the phone turns on, select the "factory reset" option from the device menu. If the device does not turn on, turn on the device in "Recovery mode" and select "wipe data/factory reset". The method for entering “Recovery mode” is described below in the paragraph “How to enter Recovery mode?”.
2. If resetting to factory settings does not help, update the software. Methods for updating the software are described in the paragraph "How to update the software?".
3. If the software update does not help, contact your nearest ZTE Authorized Service Center.
How to make a backup of data, a notebook or a “Back-up”?
There are 3 ways to do a “Back Up”:
1. In the phone settings, in the "Backup and reset" submenu, check the box for recovery.
2. You can transfer the necessary information to your computer using a USB cable.
3. You can make a “Back Up” using a third-party program.
What should I do if I don’t remember the password or pattern to unlock the screen?
If you have forgotten the pattern or digital password to unlock the screen, you need to perform a reset to factory settings: 1. Turn on the device in “Recovery mode” and select “wipe data/factory reset”. 2. If the procedure is not completed, you must contact the ZTE Authorized Service Center.
How to use wireless networks (Wi-Fi, BT)?
1. In the device settings, turn on Wi-Fi. Click on the Wi-Fi icon and you will be taken to the Wi-Fi network management screen.
2. The device will automatically begin searching for active Wi-Fi networks in the access zone from 5 to 50 meters from the access point (depending on the power of the access point).
3. Select the network you need and click on it. If your wireless network is password protected, enter it.
4. Once connected to the desired network, the Wi-Fi icon will appear on the main screen of the device.
How to enable Internet distribution on your phone (USB modem or WiFi router)?
There are two ways to enable Internet sharing on your phone. The first way is to enable distribution as a USB modem, the other is to enable distribution as a WiFi router. Make sure that your device has access to the Internet in order to distribute it:
1. USB modem - this method is used to distribute the Internet to a computer. Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable and allow data access. "Settings->Wireless networks->More" Modem mode - check the USB modem box." Then the phone will start distributing the Internet to the computer. To stop the distribution, uncheck the USB modem or simply disconnect the cable connection.
2. WiFi router - make sure you have a stable Internet connection via a mobile network or USB. "Settings->Wireless networks->More" Modem mode - check the "WiFI access point" box. To secure your wireless connection, tap the hotspot icon and then tap WiFi Hotspot. In this menu you can set a name and password for your wireless WiFi connection. Your phone will start working as a WiFi router. To stop distribution, uncheck "WiFi router"
How can I quickly see the charging status?
During charging, press the power button. The battery charge status will be shown on the main screen of the phone.
Why is the amount of free memory on the device less than stated by the manufacturer?
Unlike the processor, which has its own built-in memory, other devices, such as a video processor, audio processor and other devices included in the elemental base of the device’s central board, consume user memory resources. A certain amount of memory is reserved in advance for internal needs, but in case of overflow, user memory is used.
What types of device locking can be used?
There are 3 types of screen lock. Select one of the lock types in Settings -> Security -> Screen lock.
1. Locking with a graphic key
2.PIN code lock 3.Password lock
What is the operating temperature of ZTE phones?
The operating temperature ranges from (-10C) to (+50C).
What does ROOT mean?
ROOT is "administrator rights". ROOT makes it possible to change system files, change the system, install test programs and perform other actions. ROOT rights are hidden from users, but can be activated if necessary.
Be careful, careless handling of ROOT rights can harm your operating system.
How to enter Recovery mode?
In the off state, simultaneously hold down the volume button (increase +) and the power button.
What should I do if the battery is not charging 100%?
The device's battery is designed in such a way that it dissipates part of the received charge and can subsequently be recharged. This feature is designed to protect the battery and increase its performance. If the battery does not charge more than 80%, contact a ZTE Authorized Service Center.
How can I add a Google account to the device?

This review will present the characteristics of the ZTE Blade V8 Lite. The model debuted in 2017. It stands out from other budget-class gadgets thanks to its stylish design and metal body. As for the “filling”, not everything is so simple here, so let’s look at the characteristics in more detail.
Appearance
Before diving into the specifications of the ZTE Blade V8 Lite Blue smartphone, let's take a look at the design features. Externally, the device has a stylish design, so it is very difficult to determine its value at first glance. The rear panel of the case consists of several parts. There are plastic inserts at the top and bottom; they are separated from the metal surface by shiny lines.
The smartphone is not only pleasant, but also comfortable to hold in your hand. Its dimensions are 143 × 71 × 8 mm. Average weight - 137 g. The rounded edges of the body make the phone attractive. It is worth noting that the device is equipped with a fingerprint sensor, which is located on the back side. The front has a control panel and all the standard elements.
Screen and camera
Do you want to have fun working on your smartphone? Then pay attention to the screen, or rather its characteristics. The ZTE Blade V8 Lite has a 5-inch display with a matrix made using IPS technology. The image quality is excellent. Color is good, saturation is at an optimal level. The picture is displayed in HD format. The pixel density is average (294 ppi), but this is quite enough to not see the division into “squares”.
But users will not be able to enjoy the cameras. The manufacturer has sold 5 and 8 megapixel modules. Don't expect professional photos. The main camera is equipped with a flash and autofocus, but they do not greatly affect the results. In poor lighting, photos turn out blurry, with poor detail and insufficient color.
ZTE Blade V8 Lite: Performance Specifications
This model is not distinguished by its powerful platform. The developers installed an average-spec MT6750 processor from the Chinese company MediaTek. At first it may seem that the 8-core chip is capable of a lot, but in practice not everything is so rosy. Computing modules are accelerated to 1500 MHz. The maximum capacity of the device is applications with average requirements. You most likely won't be able to install and play 3D games at high settings; you'll have to sacrifice graphics quality. By the way, the Mali-T860MP2 video card is responsible for the latter. The amount of RAM is two gigabytes. This parameter is average, although for the price category that includes the ZTE Blade V8 Lite Blue, the characteristics could be better.
The developers have integrated 16 GB of memory. Some space is already occupied by system folders. Considering the multifunctionality of the smartphone, the remaining storage may not be enough, so the user is asked to expand it up to 256 GB by installing a flash drive.
Battery
Most buyers evaluate gadgets according to certain criteria. One of the important ones is the mobility of the device, that is, the battery life. The battery performance of the ZTE Blade V8 Lite is mediocre. The device has a small battery by modern standards - 2500 mAh. If you pay attention to the processor installed in V8 Lite, then you can’t call the platform energy efficient. The screen will also consume a large amount of charge, so you shouldn’t count on long-term operation. If the load is light, the device will work until the evening. And if you turn on the game, a 100% charge will last for about 3 hours.
Unfortunately, there is no fast charging feature. The buyer should be prepared for the fact that the smartphone will have to be connected to the network quite often, and also wait a long time for the battery to charge (about 3 hours).
Finally
A lightweight version of the V8 model is the ZTE Blade V8 Lite smartphone. Its characteristics, of course, are a little weaker than those of its “big brother”. However, this was quite expected. The device is perfect for those people who want to have an inexpensive device for calls and entertainment. On average, its cost is 11 thousand rubles. Many modern applications, but not the most demanding ones, run on the phone without problems. There will be no special restrictions in the variety of software, since the device runs on Android 7. And, of course, a high-quality screen with HD resolution will provide a lot of pleasant impressions. There are some flaws, but which smartphones don’t have them?
