Editorial report

ZTE Blade L8 technical sheet

The ZTE Blade L8 may suit calls and basic tasks, but its 2000 mAh battery is a significant limitation. It is a poor fit for anyone prioritizing battery capacity: that figure is among the lowest for phones of its time.

Its 5″ IPS LCD display has a pixel density of 215 ppi, a low figure for anyone looking for fine detail. The Unisoc SC7731e is paired with 1 GB RAM and 16 GB storage. Storage is expandable, but the built-in capacity is limited, so the setup is best suited to simple use. Android 9 is the installed operating system.

The 8 MP rear camera includes autofocus and HDR and records video at 720p at 30 fps; the front camera is 5 MP. A weight of 144 g is a plus for a lightweight phone. The Blade L8 also has Dual Nano-SIM, a 3.5 mm audio jack, FM radio and microUSB. Connectivity includes GSM and HSPA, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.2.

Overall, the Blade L8 is a basic phone with modest camera and display specifications, and a battery that calls for the biggest compromise. It may cover calls and essential functions if its limited battery capacity, storage and screen resolution suit that use. This is not a choice for advanced features: its specifications describe a straightforward, entry-level device.
