Editorial report

ZTE Blade A52 technical sheet

The ZTE Blade A52 suits people looking for a basic Android phone for everyday tasks, with features such as NFC and dual SIM. This configuration has 2 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 4 GB / 64 GB. Its AnTuTu result of 115,000 is below that of most phones launched around the same time, and its 64 GB of storage is also less than most offered. That leaves less room for apps and files than many buyers may want.

The 6.52-inch IPS LCD display has a pixel density of 269 ppi, lower than most phones of its time. At 214 g and 9.4 mm thick, the phone is heavier and thicker than most of them. The 13 MP camera resolution is also lower than most, while its f/2.2 aperture is among the weakest of its time. Charging at 10 W is slower than on most phones launched around the same time. Its 5,000 mAh battery capacity, by contrast, is typical for the period.

NFC, two Nano-SIM slots, expandable storage, Android 11, and a 3.5 mm audio jack round out the feature set. Overall, the ZTE Blade A52 is among the weakest phones of its time, with an overall NeoScore of 3.5. It makes sense for someone who wants basic features and accepts modest performance, display density, and camera specifications.
