The ZTE Blade S6 Plus features a 5.5-inch HD (720x1080 pixels) JDI display with In-Cell touch technology.

Meanwhile, the ZTE Blade S6 Plus features the same 3000mAh battery as the ZTE Blade S6 Lux.

It runs Android 5.0 Lollipop out-of-the-box with ZTE's MiFavor 3.0 UI on top. The Blade S6 Plus is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 (MSM8939) alongside 2GB of RAM.

The dual-SIM (supporting Nano-SIM cards) Blade S6 Plus packs 16GB of built-in storage and supports expandable storage via microSD card. It sports a 13-megapixel autofocus rear camera with a Sony IMX214 sensor and LED flash. There is a 5-megapixel front camera also onboard.
