Editorial report
ZTE Blade A53 Plus 2 GB / 64 GB / Global technical sheet
The ZTE Blade A53 Plus suits anyone looking for a basic Android phone for everyday essentials who also wants expandable storage. Its main trade-off is limited memory and hardware: its 2 GB of RAM and AnTuTu result of 112,000 are among the weakest figures for phones of its time. It runs Android 12 and is sold in a 2 GB RAM / 64 GB storage configuration.
The 6.52-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px and a 60 Hz refresh rate. Its 269 ppi pixel density is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time, and its refresh rate is among the weakest. The 13 MP camera records 1080p video, while its resolution is lower than that of most phones of its time. A 4,000 mAh battery and 10 W charging are also among the weakest or below most contemporaries.
Storage can be expanded with a memory card. The phone also has Dual Nano-SIM, NFC, USB Type-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo navigation. Those features cover common connections, accessories, and navigation, but do not change its memory and performance limitations. Overall, the Blade A53 Plus is among the weakest phones of its time, with a NeoScore of 3.3. It is best suited to buyers who want a straightforward Android handset with dual SIM and expandable storage and can accept limited memory, a low-density display, and a 13 MP camera.
