Comparisons Featuring ZTE Blade A3 (2019)

Short Review

  • The ZTE Blade A3 (2019) features a compact design with dimensions of 137.4 x 67.5 x 10.5 mm and a weight of 144 grams, available in Black and Blue.
  • Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 215 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a Unisoc SC9832E chipset with a quad-core 1.4 GHz CPU and Mali-T820 MP1 GPU, paired with 1GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
  • The rear camera is an 8 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p, while the 5 MP front camera serves basic selfie needs.
  • The 2000 mAh battery provides limited endurance and lacks fast or wireless charging options.
  • Running on Android 9.0 Pie (Go edition), the software is optimized for lower-end hardware, enhancing overall efficiency.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.2, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The phone includes a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack, catering to traditional audio preferences.
  • Overall, the ZTE Blade A3 (2019) is a straightforward device with essential features for everyday use.
