Editorial report

ZTE Blade A73 5G technical sheet

The ZTE Blade A73 5G suits buyers looking for 5G and expandable storage who can accept a modest camera and slow charging. This configuration pairs 4 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage, both below what most phones from its time offer. The internal storage can be expanded.

Its 6.52-inch IPS LCD display refreshes at 90 Hz. Both that refresh rate and its 269 ppi density are lower than those of most phones launched around the same time. The rear camera has 13 MP resolution and no optical image stabilization; cameras are among the weakest aspects of this phone compared with its contemporaries. Video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps. For connectivity, the Blade A73 5G includes 5G, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2 and dual Nano-SIM support.

The battery has a capacity of 5000 mAh, a typical figure, while 10 W charging is among the weakest of its time. Overall, the phone is worse than most launched around the same time, with a NeoScore of 4.3. It makes sense for buyers who prioritize 5G and expandable storage, rather than those seeking stronger camera specifications, a sharper display or faster charging.
