Editorial report

ZTE Blade A71 technical sheet

The ZTE Blade A71 suits anyone looking for a basic Android phone with a large display and several rear cameras. Its main trade-off is performance among the weakest of its time, alongside a battery with less capacity than most phones launched around the same time.

The 6.52-inch IPS LCD display leaves room for viewing content, but its 269 ppi density is lower than that of most phones of its time. This version pairs 3 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage, and its AnTuTu result of 109,200 is among the weakest of its time. Storage is expandable.

The 16 MP rear camera is joined by an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 5 MP depth camera. Video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps. Connectivity includes NFC, USB Type-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and dual Nano-SIM; the phone runs Android 11 with Google services. At 180 g and 8.2 mm thick, it is lighter and thinner than most phones of its time. With a NeoScore of 3.8, the Blade A71 is a basic option for buyers who prioritize a large display, multiple cameras, and everyday connections over performance and battery capacity.
