ZTE Blade A520

Just like most budget smartphone, the ZTE Blade A520 sports a Plastic cover that’s removable. The rear is simple and comfortable to hold as well. The dual speakers at the bottom corner brings out the best sounds and bass.

It’s disappointing it doesn’t come with a rear fingerprint scanner, while the rear camera and LED flash are vertical at the top left corner, above the ZTE logo. The device is also very light, measuring 8.4mm in thickness and weighing just 130g. It’s only available in Gray and Blue colors.
