It seems that 5 is a magic number, as the ZTE Blade V matches its nearest rivals with a 5MP sensor. This would seems that there might be some hope, as we have seen some really decent sensors packed into 5MP offerings.
Unfortunately this isn't one of them. Not even close.
Going through our snaps we noticed something rather obvious, and we were a little shocked given that it's something we think shouldn't occur when you take into account the quad-core chip that is sat inside.
The exhibition room was relatively well lit, yet the sensor struggled speed wise meaning that there were a lot of unusable snaps.
Taking a photo meant that you had to stop and give the sensor time to adjust, which was often a second or two. This problem was also noticeable on the forward facing sensor.
These problems can be disguised to a certain extent by using the Sepia, Negative or Black and White filters.
There are also other features such as being able to fiddle with ISO levels, brightness and exposure, but we feel these are things that are the preserve of more professional photographers who won't be picking up the ZTE Blade V.
