Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Battery life and value stand out as the phone's strongest selling points. One owner who paid about 75 US dollars in Thailand reported being very happy with the phone, citing a huge battery, adequate storage, good RAM, and a camera that was decent for their needs. They described it as hard to beat at that price point, suggesting the Blade V70 delivers solid everyday usability despite its budget positioning, at least for users with modest performance expectations.

The display and processor draw the most criticism from commenters. Multiple commenters flagged the 720p screen resolution as a letdown, with one noting 4G-era resolution feels outdated and unclear whether the panel is IPS or AMOLED rather than a proper OLED. Another called the processor glacially old and the OS plain. One commenter said the phone feels sluggish by default because it ships at 60Hz, requiring a manual switch to improve smoothness.

Build quality and gaming performance remain open questions for budget buyers. A commenter pointed out that budget phones in this class commonly lack strong body durability and waterproofing/dust protection, and that accessories like protective cases may not prevent damage from a fall on concrete. Separately, another commenter asked specifically about gaming and application performance, indicating this remains unconfirmed by the available comments and a consideration for potential buyers.
