Editorial report

ZTE Blade A7 Prime technical sheet

The ZTE Blade A7 Prime suits basic everyday use for someone looking for a lightweight phone, but its 3,200 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. That is a notable trade-off in a phone whose overall specifications are worse than most of its contemporaries.

Its 6.09″ IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 × 1560 px and a pixel density of 282 ppi, below average. The 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage are also less than most phones launched around the same time offer. Storage is expandable, giving room for files beyond the built-in capacity.

The 16 MP rear camera has average resolution, while its f/2 aperture is worse than that of most cameras from its time. It records video at 1080p and 30 fps, with HDR, panorama and phase-detection autofocus among its features. Overall, the camera is worse than most phones launched around the same time.

At 165 g and 8.1 mm thick, the phone weighs less and is thinner than most of its contemporaries. It also has dual Nano-SIM, USB Type-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio. With a NeoScore of 3.3, the ZTE Blade A7 Prime is a better fit for someone after a simple, lightweight phone than for someone who puts battery capacity, storage or performance first.
