ZTE Blade A35e technical sheet
The ZTE Blade A35e suits buyers looking for a simple Android phone for calls, messaging and basic tasks. Its main trade-off is clear: the hardware, camera and charging are far behind phones launched around the same time.
At 181g, it is among the lightest phones of its time, and Android 14 comes with 5 years of OS updates. Dual SIM, USB Type-C, a 3.5mm audio jack and expandable storage add practical flexibility. Its 5,000mAh battery holds less capacity than most phones of its time, while 10W charging is among the slowest.
The configuration shown has 2GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, both among the weakest capacities of its time. Its 154,110 AnTuTu result places performance among the weakest. The 8MP rear camera is also among the weakest and has no optical stabilization. The 6.52″ IPS LCD display reaches only 215 ppi, a pixel density among the weakest, and its 82% usable surface is worse than most.
Overall, the Blade A35e is among the weakest phones of its time, although its low weight is a genuine strength. With a NeoScore of 2.8, it fits basic use and buyers who prioritize software support over power, photography or fast charging.
