Editorial report

ZTE Blade A3 Plus technical sheet

The ZTE Blade A3 Plus suits anyone looking for a basic phone for calls, simple browsing, and light everyday tasks. Its 5-inch display and Android 11 make for a straightforward setup, while memory, storage, and battery capacity are its clearest limitations.

The TFT LCD display has a resolution of 480 × 960 px and a density of 215 ppi, among the lowest densities of phones of its time. The body measures 137 mm tall and 68 mm wide, with a thickness of 10.5 mm. The MediaTek MT6739WW is a quad-core processor clocked up to 1.5 GHz. Its 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage are also among the lowest amounts of their time. A memory card can expand the storage.

The battery has a capacity of 2,050mAh, among the lowest of its time. The 5MP rear camera records video at 720p at 30 fps, while the front camera is 3MP. The phone includes GPS, Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, a 3.5mm audio jack, and microUSB. Overall, it is a straightforward choice for basic needs, provided its limited memory, display resolution, and battery capacity fit the intended use.
