Editorial report

ZTE Avid 589 technical sheet

The ZTE Avid 589 suits buyers looking for a basic, light and slim phone. At 167 g, it is among the lightest phones of its time, and its 7.9 mm thickness is less than that of most. That easy-to-carry design comes with clear limits for anyone who needs more storage, a smoother display or a larger battery.

Its 5.5″ IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 × 1440 px, but the 60 Hz refresh rate is among the lowest in displays of its time. The 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage are also among the lowest capacities, although storage is expandable. The rear camera’s 8 MP resolution is among the lowest, and its f/2 aperture is worse than most. It records video at 720p at 30 fps. The 3,000 mAh battery is among the lowest-capacity batteries in phones of its time.

Overall, the ZTE Avid 589 is among the weakest phones launched around the same time and has a NeoScore of 3.0. Its weight and slim build are its most notable strengths; memory, camera and battery are greater constraints. It fits buyers who prioritize a simple, slim and light phone, rather than those looking for generous storage, a higher-capacity battery or a higher-resolution camera.
