Editorial report
ZTE Blade A72 5G technical sheet
The ZTE Blade A72 5G suits buyers looking for 5G and NFC in a straightforward phone. Its main trade-off is the battery: its 4,000 mAh capacity and 10 W charging are below those of most phones launched around the same time.
The 6.52-inch IPS LCD display has a 90 Hz refresh rate, but its 269 ppi density and refresh rate are lower than those of most phones from its time. The available 4 GB / 64 GB configuration also has less RAM and storage than most phones launched around then; storage is expandable. The processor is a MediaTek Dimensity 700, and the operating system is Android 11.
The rear main camera's 13 MP resolution is lower than that of most phones of its time, and the phone has no optical image stabilization. Connectivity includes 5G, NFC, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, and dual Nano-SIM support, as well as a 3.5 mm audio jack. Overall, the ZTE Blade A72 5G ranks worse than most phones launched around the same time, with a NeoScore of 4.3. It is a fit for buyers who prioritize 5G, NFC, and connectivity features over battery capacity, display definition, and camera specifications.
