Reviews for the ZTE Blade A72s

83% ZTE Blade A72s review: ultra-budget with a big screen and 90 Hz
Source: Root Nation English
ZTE Blade A72s is quite an interesting budget phone, which, of course, is not without its pros and cons. Let’s start with the first. The smartphone is definitely worth praising for its attractive and at the same time practical design, a large pleasant screen with a refresh rate of up to 90 Hz, good autonomy and support for fast charging. It has the option to double the amount of RAM at the expense of flash memory and in practice it really makes the device faster, and there is also a fingerprint scanner and supports all modern wireless technologies – from Wi-Fi 5 to NFC. Well, its probably the most convincing trump card is its price of $126. As for the shortcomings, we have here a basic “hardware”, which copes well with everyday loads and multitasking, but for something more serious is not suitable.

6.75":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.
