Editorial report

ZTE Blade A54 technical sheet

The ZTE Blade A54 suits anyone looking for a straightforward Android phone with dual SIM, NFC, and USB-C. At 185 g, it weighs less than most phones of its time. Its 6.6″ display runs at 90 Hz, a refresh rate lower than most phones launched around the same time, and its 267 ppi density is also lower than most.

This configuration pairs 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 128 GB. The Unisoc SC9863A and its 112,000-point AnTuTu v9 result put its performance among the weakest of its time. The 13 MP camera resolution is lower than that of most contemporaries, and there is no optical image stabilization. Video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps. The 5,000 mAh battery has typical capacity, but 10 W charging is among the weakest for phones of its time.

Connectivity is typical, with Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi, and GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo. Android 13 and a 3.5 mm audio jack round out a set of practical basics. With a NeoScore of 3.7 and clear weaknesses in performance, camera resolution, and charging, the Blade A54 is best suited to buyers prioritizing core features and a relatively light phone.
