Review on 📱 ZTE Blade A5 2020, 4G LTE, International Version (No US Warranty), Blue - GSM Unlocked (T-Mobile, AT&T, Metro, Straight Talk) - 32GB, 2GB RAM, Dual SIM by Justin Jeppi

I bought this phone to replace a ZTE Blade that I gave to a friend in the 70's. It has TMobile service and used a 1st or 2nd generation MetroPCS Blade with 6-inch display, USB-C port and fingerprint reader and 4000 mAh battery. Four years ago, the subsidized cost of this phone was also around $100. My girlfriend recently switched to Visible (Verizon CDMA) and bought a Blade A7. This is an awesome phone, but it costs $79. was about half of actual market value. Full disclosure, I love ZTE and own both their budget and flagship phones. Let's see what's good about this phone. - Camera tested with Moto Razor 2020 and the images were about the same. Exceptional for the price. Competing with the Qualcomm 500 series. Lack of RAM has almost always been the bottleneck. Again exceptional for the price. The screen is average for a $200 phone and poor compared to a flagship, the screen looked like 500 nits and is very good for streaming apps. Blurred for everyday use. - Good standard software, apps, widget options, etc. are well thought out and aimed at a beginner. Bad - and the first two are really bad. - USB Micro which should be illegal for anything containing "2020". Charging therefore couldn't have been slower and takes me back to the day when a mad Walwart friend was always looking for an outlet. - Battery Life - With an 8-core chipset, the 3250mAh battery can last a full day on a full charge with moderate use, but the Micro USB charging is designed to ensure it never reaches a full charge. Again, no 5GHz WiFi, how is that even possible in something called "2020”? While the 2.4GHz radio is good, it's very slow. I was able to get download speeds of around 15Mbps when connected to 1000Mbps Wi-Fi. It took four hours to transfer about 5GB of data from my other phone. There is no fingerprint scanner. That's why he has Android 9 because he needs a pattern release. Well, to its credit, the face unlock feature works really well. 2GB of memory. 32GB of onboard storage is great for this price and phones that cost 50% more have 2GB or 3GB, I wish we could see more. Conclusion: This is the iPhone 10R for Android fans. It really has everything a person over 60 could wish for. This crowd still can't understand the fingerprint scanners. The over 60s take care of the camera, the software and watching Netflix on their phones. That's the audience this phone is aimed at, and for that consumer it's a solid choice. For the rest of us, all we have to do is drive up to the bar and pay $200 for something like the OnePlus Nord N100 or something. . Other Motorola phones near this price try too much and are poor choices for older consumers. Nokia has also entered the budget segment, but both options start at $150. The Blackview A60, one of the few Revain phones that can compete at this price point, doesn't even run full Android. If you only have $100 this is a really great option.
