VP Tech | Smart ZTE Blade A75 5G: 5G Connectivity for All
Getting a 5G phone nowadays seems like a privilege given its availability. Price has always been one of the biggest barriers between Filipinos and a 5G upgrade. In line with their commitment to “5G for All”, Smart Communications launches the ZTE Blade A75 5G.
With seemingly competitive features and a budget-friendly price point, it aims to democratize the 5G smartphone market. If you want to learn more about this device, join us as we dive into the ZTE Blade A75 5G.
Design and Build
The ZTE Blade A75 5G comes in a boxy build reminiscent of modern phones today. It sports a plastic back with a glossy mineral finish that sparkles when tilted.
With its weight of 206g, you can carry the phone in your hands comfortably. While it’s on the lighter side in terms of weight, there’s a heft to the phone that makes it feel premium and luxurious.
Moving on to its display, it sports a 6.6-inch HD+ display that can reach up to 120Hz refresh rate. For its price, a high refresh rate adds a refreshing touch to the quality you’re getting from the ZTE Blade A75 5G. This makes the phone feel a lot smoother and fluid when using it.
Performance and Connectivity
The ZTE Blade A75 5G runs with a UNISOC T760 that performs significantly well for casual tasks. It also packs a total of 8GB of RAM (4GB+4GB of Virtual RAM) and 128GB of internal storage that allows it to run smoothly while playing games and browsing the web.
Upon testing, you’ll have no issue running light games like Mobile Legends in its default setting. However, you might start to encounter a bit of a problem when you try to run heavier games like Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves.
Now the part that makes this phone special is its 5G connectivity. It’s important to note that the phone has a dual-SIM card slot located on its left side. Note that only Smart SIM cards could be used in the SIM1 slot while the SIM2 slot could be used universally but only for calls and text. Moreover, the mobile data feature is restricted to Smart SIMs only.
Additionally, we’d also like to mention that there are a lot of factors that could affect the speed of your 5G connectivity, such as the prominence of a 5G infrastructure around your area so keep your expectations at bay.
Now that we have gotten that out of the way, having 5G in such a budget-friendly phone does wonders for people who want to experience speedy uploads and downloads. This 5G connectivity becomes even more relevant for how beneficial it could be for gaming and streaming.
Camera
The ZTE Blade A75 5G carries a 50MP main camera paired with a 2MP secondary sensor and an 8MP selfie camera in the front.
These cameras perform well depending on the conditions you’re using them with. While they have the potential to take decent photos, the overall experience varies from hit to miss.
Under good lighting conditions, its cameras could take clear photos that could be directly posted to your social media. However, photos start to look a bit grainy once you put them under a lower light or challenging lighting conditions.
Moreover, one thing to note is that its photo processing takes a while to finish. This means that after pressing the shutter button, little movements from the subject or the taker can result in blurry photos.
Battery
The ZTE Blade A75 5G comes with a sufficient 5,000mAh battery lasting a day of moderate use. Of course, this depends on how you use the phone, but we found its batteries reliable throughout a day filled with errands.
The phone also supports 10W wired charging which could be a bit slow. Based on our testing, the phone takes around 2 hours to charge from 0% to 100% which entails a better charging schedule on the user’s end.
Overall Thoughts
Overall, the ZTE Blade A75 5G stays true to its mission of bringing 5G to all Filipinos. It’s a great option for casual users who want to experience 5G for an affordable price.
It’s tailor-made for users who aren’t necessarily looking for the most extravagant features but want a device with superb connectivity, great battery life, and reliable performance.
