Editorial report

ZTE Blade A3 (2019) technical sheet

The ZTE Blade A3 (2019) is for anyone looking for a basic phone for calls and simple tasks; its main drawback is a 2,000 mAh battery. The 5-inch IPS LCD display has a 480 × 960 px resolution and 215 ppi density. Its 18:9 format fits a compact screen, though pixel density is low.

A quad-core Unisoc SC9832E running at 1.4 GHz works with 1 GB of RAM. There is 32 GB of storage, and it can be expanded to make room for more files. The operating system is Android 9. The rear camera has 8 MP, HDR and an LED flash, while the front camera is 5 MP. Rear-camera video recording goes up to 720p at 30 fps.

Connectivity includes dual Nano-SIM, GSM, HSPA and LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, and Bluetooth 4.2. GPS and GLONASS provide navigation support, while an FM radio and 3.5 mm audio jack cover familiar extras. Its battery is Li-Ion. Taken together, its modest RAM, storage and battery capacity suit uncomplicated use rather than demanding tasks. The Blade A3 (2019) makes sense as a straightforward option for calls, messages and basic phone functions, provided that its limited memory and battery capacity fit the intended use.
