Comparisons Featuring ZTE Blade A31 Plus

Short Review

  • The ZTE Blade A31 Plus features a simple design with dimensions of 159.2 x 77.5 x 9.6 mm and a weight that is not specified.
  • Its 6.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 179 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness.
  • Performance is driven by the Unisoc SC9863A chipset, with an octa-core CPU and 1GB of RAM, suitable for light usage but may struggle with multitasking.
  • The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera, capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, and a 2 MP front camera, which is basic for selfies.
  • The 3000 mAh battery provides standard longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
  • Running on Android 11 (Go edition), the software is optimized for lower-end hardware, ensuring a smoother experience.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and NFC, while it does not support 5G.
  • The phone is available in blue and gray colors, adding some variety to its appearance.
  • Overall, the ZTE Blade A31 Plus is a straightforward device aimed at users with basic smartphone needs.
  • Special features are minimal, focusing primarily on essential functions without advanced capabilities.
