The phone is shown sporting a triple rear camera setup, with a layout similar to the Apple flagships.

ZTE Blade V80 reportedly mimics the iPhone 17 Pro: Key details

X tipster Evan Blass (@evleaks) has posted an alleged image of the ZTE Blade V80 Vita, which showcases the phone in a blue shade from all angles. The smartphone appears to have a large rear camera module that appears to be clearly inspired by the new camera island design on Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro series.

This leaked render confirms that the ZTE Blade V80 could follow the same triple camera design as that of the iPhone 17 Pro models. On the right frame, the phone has a red power button along with the volume rockers. The left side appears to include the SIM tray and an unknown button. The phone also has a 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom edge of the phone, which is rare to find these days.

Other details of the ZTE Blade V80 could be revealed in the coming weeks. The smartphone is likely to be priced as an affordable offering with some key upgrades over last year's ZTE Blade V70, including a larger battery capacity and a higher resolution main camera.
