The latest budget phone from ZTE is the
Blade A3 Prime. It’s an entry-level smartphone with a US$ 99 price that will be
arriving to both of Verizon’s MVNO networks: Yahoo Mobile and Visible. The
phone is free on Visible through the network’s SWAP program.
The Blade A3 Prime is equipped with a
5.45-inch 720p screen with 18:9 aspect ratio and powered by the MediaTek Helio
A22. There’s 2GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage with support for a microSD
card. And here’s something you don’t see anymore: the phone has a removable
2,660 mAh battery.
There’s support for both face unlock and
fingerprint authentication thanks to the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.
There’s also an 8MP camera on the back and dual LED flash. We’re also glad to
see the USB-C charging port has finally trickled down to the entry-level phones
here. There’s also a headphone jack.
