Editorial report

ZTE Blade A73 4 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet

The ZTE Blade A73 suits buyers looking for a straightforward Android phone with expandable storage and practical connections; its main trade-off is modest performance. This version pairs 4 GB of RAM with the Unisoc T606 and scores 210,176 in AnTuTu v10. Its hardware and benchmark result are below those of most phones launched around the same time. The phone is also sold with 256 GB of storage alongside this 128 GB configuration, and its storage can be expanded.

The 6.6-inch IPS LCD display has a 90 Hz refresh rate, but its 267 ppi density and 90 Hz rate are below those of most phones of its time. The camera overall also falls behind most phones of its time: its 50 MP resolution is typical, and it lacks optical image stabilization. Video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps. The 5,000 mAh battery and 22.5 W fast charging are typical figures for its time.

Other features include NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack, dual SIM, and Android 13 with Google services. Its connectivity is typical of phones launched around the same time. The ZTE Blade A73 earns a NeoScore of 4.6: a fit for buyers who value expandable storage and useful connections and can accept modest performance and display specifications.
