Summary
- The Cubot Max 3 features a larger 6.95-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1640 pixels and a standard 60Hz refresh rate, while the ZTE Blade A73 has a 6.6-inch IPS LCD with a slightly lower resolution of 720 x 1612 pixels but offers a smoother 90Hz refresh rate.
- In terms of performance, the Cubot is powered by the Mediatek MT6762 Helio P22 chipset, whereas the ZTE utilizes the Unisoc T606, which may provide better efficiency with its architecture.
- The camera setup on the Cubot includes a 48 MP main sensor and a 16 MP selfie camera, compared to the ZTE's 50 MP rear camera and 5 MP front camera, suggesting the ZTE may capture slightly better images.
- Both devices have a 5000 mAh battery, but the ZTE supports faster 22.5W charging, whereas the Cubot does not support any fast charging.
- The Cubot runs on Android 11, while the ZTE operates on the more recent Android 13, indicating a potentially better software experience on the latter.
- Lastly, the ZTE is slightly lighter and thinner than the Cubot, which may enhance its overall build quality perception.
