Comparisons Featuring ZTE Blade A3 Joy
Short Review
- The ZTE Blade A3 Joy features a compact design with dimensions of 142.2 x 63.2 x 7.9 mm and a weight of 162g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 293 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by the Mediatek MT6761D Helio A20 chipset, with a quad-core CPU running at 1.8 GHz and 2GB of RAM, suitable for basic tasks.
- The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera and a 2 MP front camera, but it does not feature optical image stabilization.
- The battery capacity is 2650 mAh, which may require frequent charging due to its limited size, and it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 10, the software experience is straightforward, but it lacks stereo speakers and NFC.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.2, while the device uses a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
- The phone includes a headphone jack, catering to users who prefer wired audio.
- Overall, the ZTE Blade A3 Joy is a basic smartphone with essential features and modest performance.
- Its design and build quality are functional, but it may not meet the demands of more intensive users.
