Wrapping Up:-
After studying both of the specifications, we can conclude that both Samsung A7 and ZTE Blade V8 pro have many similar features. The display is merely similar with a fraction of change. So it doesn’t matter at all. Both the Smartphones have different processors and both are equally good. There are no storage-related differences as both of them feature same storage and RAM. Focusing on camera features, ZTE V8 pro has pixels, but it tried to manage it with other photographic effects. The sound of both the phone is equally good. Both are running on the same Android operating system. The battery and other connectivity features are also same.
So overall if we will say that the price gap is not at all valid, then that statement will not be incorrect. A price gap of $300 is not a small thing if you are putting your Smartphone in the mid-range category. Just because Samsung has set its brand image in the market, it doesn’t justify the price difference. Looking at those issues, we can conclude that ZTE Blade V8 pro can be a good choice for the middle ranged people.
