ZTE Blade A73 will not become an iPhone

ZTE decided to treat the world to another smartphone with a style inspired by Apple smartphones. ZTE Blade A73 is of course a budget device, and the only thing it has in common with the iPhone is the style of the photo frame.

The similarity of the detail on the back of the housing is probably not accidental - but in my opinion unnecessary, especially in the case of a budget design, such as the new ZTE Blade A73. This smartphone has a camera frame suggesting the presence of three lenses - but in fact, there are only two lenses, the third element is the LED diode. The cameras are typical for budget cameras: the main one has a resolution of 50 megapixels and an f/1.8 aperture, while the secondary one is a 2-megapixel background blurr. The front camera, on the other hand, has only 5 megapixels and is located in a droplet notch, disfiguring - and not very impressive - LCD display with HD+ resolution and a diagonal of 6.6 inches, which, for consolation, refreshes the image at a frequency of 90 Hz. Under the screen is the Unisoc T606 processor, popular in this segment, supported by a modest 4 GB of RAM, which can be virtually expanded by another 4 GB by borrowing it from the internal memory with a capacity of 128 GB. Maybe this will help...

The smartphone is powered by a 5000 mAh battery, charging with a power of 22.5 W acceptable in budget devices. ZTE Blade A73 also has a minijack and a side line reader fingerprint sensors, and apart from the slightly questionable styling - overall, it looks neat and is offered in attractive colors. The price of the new Blade has not been announced yet, but it certainly will not be high. I will also add that you will also find a model with a similar name on the market - ZTE Blade A73 5G - but it is a completely different design.
