Editorial report
ZTE Blade L9 1 GB / 32 GB / Americas technical sheet
The ZTE Blade L9 is for people looking for a basic Android phone; its main trade-off is limited memory. This configuration has 1 GB RAM and 32 GB storage and runs Android 11. At 143 g, it is among the lightest phones of its time, a useful distinction for anyone who prefers a lightweight handset.
The 5-inch TFT LCD display has a density of 215 ppi, among the lowest of its time; its 69.5% screen-to-body ratio is also among the lowest. The camera’s 5 MP resolution is among the weakest of its time. Autofocus and an LED flash are included, and video recording reaches 720p at 30 fps. The 2,000 mAh battery is also among the lowest-capacity of its time.
Performance and hardware are among the weakest of phones launched around the same time: its AnTuTu result is 21,000, and this version pairs 1 GB RAM with 32 GB storage. Storage is expandable, and the phone supports two Nano-SIM cards. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and FM radio. Its overall NeoScore is 1.6. The Blade L9 fits basic phone needs, with low weight as a standout and clear limits in memory, camera resolution, and battery capacity.
