Editorial report

ZTE Blade A72s technical sheet

The ZTE Blade A72s suits anyone looking for a basic Android phone with a large display, provided that limited memory and modest screen definition are acceptable. This configuration has 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 128 GB. Its 260 ppi pixel density is among the lowest in phones of its time, and its 90 Hz refresh rate is lower than that of most. The IPS LCD display measures 6.75 inches and has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px.

An octa-core Unisoc T606 processor and UFS 2.2 storage handle the core hardware. Its AnTuTu score of 241,300 is lower than that of most phones of its time. The 50 MP camera records video at 1080p and 30 fps. A 5 MP front camera records at 720p and 30 fps.

The battery has a capacity of 5,000 mAh and supports 22.5 W charging. Connectivity includes LTE, NFC, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, and dual Nano-SIM. There is also a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio. The phone runs Android 12 with Google services. Overall, the Blade A72s brings a large screen, a 50 MP camera, and useful connections to a basic Android phone, but its 3 GB of RAM, low pixel density, and AnTuTu result make it a less suitable choice for anyone prioritizing performance or screen detail.
