Performance and Software
Under the hood, the ZTE Blade A3 runs on Android 7.1 Nougat, driven by the Mediatek MT6737T chipset. This chip, combined with a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and a Mali-T720MP2 GPU, assures basic performance capable of handling general smartphone usage without significant lag. Its 3GB RAM supports multitasking, while the 32GB of internal storage—expandable via a microSDXC card slot—ensures ample space for apps and media. However, its performance in demanding applications or games might be limited, as expected in this segment.
