ZTE Blade 20 Pro 5G Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

ZTE Blade 20 Pro 5G is a powerful response to competitors

The Chinese company ZTE continues to monitor the smartphone market and adapt to its updated conditions. And it seems that several years of actual downtime did not affect the talent of the manufacturer, which again releases an extremely balanced, functional and technological phone, practically devoid of flaws.

The design of the review hero is beautiful and graceful; you may not like the outdated design of the 20-megapixel selfie camera. But four photomodules, stylish colors of an ergonomic case made of metal and tempered glass, almost complete framelessness of a 6.47-inch AMOLED screen allow the exterior to look great. The display, unfortunately, is not endowed with an increased refresh rate, but this defect is corrected by the high FullHD + resolution, stunning brightness and contrast indicators. The picture is lively, juicy and detailed.

Specifications have an excellent balance of performance and energy efficiency. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor is combined with 8GB of RAM and an Adreno 620 graphics adapter to fulfill several purposes at once. These include support for 5G networks, providing close to the maximum graphics settings in a variety of resource-intensive games and autonomy in the region of 8-9 hours of active screen time from a 4000mAh battery. There is fast charging, its wireless counterpart is missing, which is normal for a mid-range phablet.

The photographic capabilities of 64-, 8- and 2-megapixel (pair) cameras are not amazing due to the lack of optical stabilization and a telephoto lens. However, the results of daytime photo shoots are not much different from those of the flagship devices in terms of color rendition and detail, and even evening shots can be obtained without excessive noise. NFC contactless payments, a revised and optimized Android Q, 128GB of ROM with a microSD card slot and an attractive price tag turn into other incentives for buying a wonderful device.
