Editorial report

ZTE Blade A3 2020 1 GB / 32 GB / Americas technical sheet

The ZTE Blade A3 2020 suits someone looking for a phone for basic tasks who can accept a small battery: its 2,600 mAh capacity is among the lowest of phones launched around the same time. Its 5 W charging is also among the slowest, making battery capacity and charging the main compromises.

The available configuration pairs a 5.45-inch IPS LCD display with 1 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. Storage is expandable, and the phone runs Android 9. At 160 g, it weighs less than most phones launched around the same time, which may suit anyone prioritizing a lighter handset. The rear camera has 8 MP and an f/2.4 aperture; that aperture is among the least bright of its time. Its AnTuTu score of 27,675 is also among the lowest, as is its overall performance. Taken together, the Blade A3 2020 is among the weakest phones launched around the same time, with a below-average display and a camera among the weakest. Its NeoScore is 2.3. It is best suited to basic use when battery capacity and performance headroom are not key priorities.
