ZTE Blade S6 seems to be another iPhone 6-like Android handset

Last month, we told you about the ZTE Q7, an unannounced smartphone that looks a lot like an iPhone 6. Now, another similar ZTE handset showed up: the Blade S6.

According to online retailer GearBest, the ZTE Blade S6 runs Android 5.0 Lollipop, features 4G connectivity, and sports a 5-inch display. This means it’s smaller than the Q7, which has a 5.5-inch screen. Even so, the two handsets are almost identical, though the S6 has a single LED flash next to the rear camera, while the Q7 comes with a dual LED flash. The sensors on the front (above the screen) are also positioned differently.

In the past, ZTE released quite many Blade-branded handsets around the world, so the Blade S6 could be a non-Chinese variant of the Q7. Of course, given the similarity between it and the iPhone 6, ZTE could get in trouble for selling the S6 outside of China.

The ZTE Blade S6 is expected to be officially announced later this month, when we should find out more about its features, availability, and price.
