Editorial report

ZTE Blade 20 5G technical sheet

The ZTE Blade 20 5G suits anyone looking for a 5G phone with dual SIM who does not need Google Services. This configuration pairs 6 GB of RAM with 128 GB of expandable storage. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, and USB Type-C, while GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo handle navigation.

Its 6.52″ IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1600 px resolution and 269 ppi density. That density is lower than on most phones of its time, a notable trade-off for anyone who prioritizes screen definition. The screen-to-body ratio is 81.6%. The phone weighs 188 g and measures 8.9 mm thick.

The rear main camera has 16 MP, but its 1/3.06″ sensor is among the smallest of its time. There is also an 8 MP ultra-wide camera and a 2 MP depth camera, with video recording up to 1080p at 30 fps. Its 4,000 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones of its time. The 18 W fast charging figure is typical, and reverse charging is supported as well.

The 5G connection is a useful draw, set against compromises in display density, the main camera sensor, and battery capacity. The overall NeoScore is 4.8, and its overall standing is typical among phones of its time. It is a straightforward option for anyone whose priorities are 5G and dual SIM rather than Google services or stronger screen and battery specifications.
