Editorial report

ZTE Blade A53 technical sheet

The ZTE Blade A53 is suited to anyone looking for a basic Android phone, though its 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage leave limited room for apps and files. It runs Android 12 and supports two Nano-SIM cards. The 6.52-inch IPS LCD display has a density of 269 ppi, lower than that of most phones launched around the same time.

Its hardware is among the weakest of its time: both the RAM and storage amounts are very small. The rear camera’s 8MP resolution is also among the lowest of the period, while the front camera is 5MP. Its 4,000mAh battery is among the smallest, and 10W charging is slower than on most phones launched around then.

Connectivity is among the weakest of its time overall. The phone includes NFC, a 3.5mm audio jack and dual SIM, as well as GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo for navigation. The ZTE Blade A53 has an overall NeoScore of 3.1, placing it among the weakest phones of its time. It is a basic option for anyone who wants Android and essential features, but its memory, camera resolution and battery capacity are limited compared with other phones from that period.
