After the announcement that the ZTE Blade A711 (internationally known as Blade X9) will be available in the Philippines, we managed to get our busy hands on a demo unit from Lazada. The Blade A711 sports a 5.5-inch IPS display with some noticeable bezels around the panel. Additionally, the Blade A711 has an average thickness of 8.6mm. Its overall form factor and ergonomics aren't something new, so users who have previously handled a 5.5-inch phablet will feel familiar with the Blade A711. The ZTE Blade A711 is scheduled to be available exclusively to Lazada on Januray 14, 2016, at 12 noon for Php7,690. With the ZTE Blade A711, also known as Blade X9, coming to the Philippine market next week, let's have it compared to one of its competitor, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. We choose the Redmi Note 3 due to its undeniably similar design with the Blade A711 and features like display size and fingerprint scanner. In terms of memory, the Blade A711 has 2GB while the Redmi Note 3 also has 2GB of RAM, but you have the option of going for 3GB. You don't have to worry about file space for the Blade since its 16GB storage is expandable via a microSD of up to 128GB.
