Editorial report

ZTE Blade A51 technical sheet

The ZTE Blade A51 is suited to anyone looking for a phone for basic tasks and a relatively low weight; the main limitation of this configuration is its small amount of RAM. At 173.7 g, it weighs less than most phones of its time. Its 6.52-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1600 px resolution and 269 ppi density, lower than that of most phones launched around the same time.

Its 2 GB of RAM and AnTuTu v9 result of 109,200 are among the weakest of its time, making this a basic-use option rather than a choice for anyone who wants headroom for demanding apps. The 13 MP camera resolution is lower than that of most phones of the period. Its 3,200 mAh battery capacity is also among the weakest. Android 11, Google Services and expandable storage cover core requirements; this version has 32 GB, and the Blade A51 is also sold with 64 GB.

Connectivity is worse than that of most phones launched around the same time, although the phone includes NFC, USB Type-C, dual Nano-SIM support, and GPS, GLONASS and Galileo navigation. Its overall NeoScore is 2.8. In short, the Blade A51 is a light, basic phone for people who prioritize essential functions over memory, battery capacity and camera resolution.
