Over an year after its release ZTE’s Blade A2 is getting a successor. The Chinese telecom giant ZTE on Monday launched the new ZTE Blade A2S in China via retailer JD.com. The new smartphone improves in almost every aspect over its predecessor.

As per the retailer’s listing, the Blade A2S sports a 5.2-inch full HD screen and is powered by MediaTek MT6753 octa-core processor. The phone runs on Android 7.1 and packs 3GB of RAM,  and 32GB of storage.

Pricing and availability

According to JD, the ZTE Blade A2S will retail at CNY 700 ($107) and will be available starting September 8. The registrations for the sale are open now.
