The ZTE Blade V40 Pro is ZTE's latest mid-range contender, bringing a large AMOLED panel, a 64 MP triple-camera system, and blazing 65W fast charging to the Blade V series. First shown at MWC 2022 in March, the phone went on sale in Mexico at a price of 7,499 Mexican Peso — roughly Rs 29,000 — with a single 6 GB RAM / 128 GB storage variant.
ZTE Blade V40 Pro Display and Design
The standout feature of the ZTE Blade V40 Pro is its 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 20:9 aspect ratio and full DCI-P3 wide color gamut coverage. Colors are vivid and accurate, making it a strong choice for media consumption in this price segment. A small punch-hole cutout in the panel houses the 16 MP front camera, keeping bezels slim. The phone is available in Iridescent White and Dark Green color options.
Performance and Software
Under the hood, the ZTE Blade V40 Pro runs on the Unisoc T618 processor paired with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. The device ships with Android 11 out of the box. The Unisoc T618 is an octa-core chip built on a 12 nm process, capable of handling everyday tasks, social media, and casual gaming without major hiccups.
ZTE Blade V40 Pro Camera System
Photography is handled by a triple rear camera setup:
- 64 MP primary lens
- 5 MP secondary lens
- 2 MP depth/macro lens
The front-facing 16 MP selfie camera includes an AI beauty mode for portrait shots. The 64 MP main sensor can capture detailed stills and is a notable spec for a phone in the sub-Rs 30,000 bracket.
Battery and Charging
The ZTE Blade V40 Pro is backed by a 5,100 mAh battery — large enough for all-day use even with the power-hungry AMOLED display. More impressively, it supports 65W fast charging, which is unusually fast for a mid-range device and can top up the phone in a fraction of the time compared to the 18W or 33W chargers common in this segment.

Verdict
The ZTE Blade V40 Pro punches above its weight with an AMOLED display boasting DCI-P3 colour accuracy, a 64 MP main camera, a large 5,100 mAh battery, and — perhaps most notably — 65W fast charging that rivals flagships. If ZTE extends availability beyond Mexico, it could be a compelling mid-range option for buyers who prioritise display quality and charging speed over raw CPU performance.
