The Blade V8 Mini and Blade V8 Lite are competitive devices which should come with a similarly competitive pricing, while the Blade V8 Lite may not have the trademark dual camera setup of the V8 Mini and its Snapdragon processor, the device is more than capable to target the low end market provided that ZTE prices it accordingly.
