Display and Camera
ZTE Sonata 2 sports a rather small 4-inch display with a WVGA resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. While a pixel density of 233 ppi is a bit manageable, the touchscreen in focus here is best suited for those constrained by financial resources to acquire a better-spec’ed alternative.
The cameras are also not that out of the world either, but decent. On the rear of the device is a 5-megapixel sensor with LED flash, face and smile detection, digital zoom and HDR. It can be used to record HD (720p) videos. You also get a 2-megapixel selfie camera for your money.
Power and Performance
Considered the successor to the ZTE Sonata 4G, the Sonata 2 is driven by a quad-core processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 200) like its predecessor.
You get similar RAM of 1GB capacity which does not sound like a lot these days – you need to moderate your multitasking expectation from this device. ZTE Sonata 2 runs on the not-so-recent Android 4.4 KitKat operating system, showing that you get what you pay for most of the time.
Power is supplied by a smaller 1650mAh battery that ZTE surprisingly promises will offer almost twice the talk time the bigger juicer on the Sonata 4G offered.
Other Specs and Features
Integrated storage memory remains the same on ZTE Sonata 2 at a measly 4 GB. Thankfully, you will be able to add up to 32 GB more using a microSD card. The smartphone supports three-band 3G connectivity as well as 4G connectivity for super-fast browsing and downloading experience.
Connectivity offerings include microUSB 2.0, Bluetooth, Tethering and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n. The ZTE Sonata 2 is compatible with M4 and T4 hearing aids and offers GPS with A-GPS for your positioning and location needs.

ZTE Sonata 2 is not available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in Nigeria. ZTE Sonata 2 price in Nigeria is expected to range from N17,500 to N30,000 depending on your location in the country.
