Editorial report

ZTE Blade A5 2020 technical sheet

The ZTE Blade A5 2020 suits basic phone use, but its 2 GB of RAM and 60 Hz display are clear compromises against phones of its time. The IPS LCD display measures 6.09 inches, with 720 × 1560 px resolution and 282 ppi. Its refresh rate is worse than that of most phones launched around the same time, while pixel density is below average. It is a straightforward screen for everyday apps and content.

The Unisoc SC9863A processor is paired with 2 GB RAM and 32 GB storage in this configuration. Storage is expandable, and the operating system is Android 10. Its AnTuTu result is worse than that of most phones launched around the same time, making performance a major limitation. The rear camera has 13 MP, autofocus and 1080p video recording; the front camera has 8 MP.

A 3,200 mAh battery and 10 W charging both fall short of most phones of its time. Connectivity includes dual Nano-SIM, a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio. At 155 g, it weighs less than most phones of its time. Overall, the ZTE Blade A5 2020 is among the weakest phones of its time, particularly for performance and battery. NeoScore: 3.0. It may suit someone looking for basic functions who accepts substantial limits in speed and battery capacity.
