Reviews
Unfortunately, in the reviews the characteristics of the ZTE Blade A5 Pro caused the most complaints. The platform is frankly weak, which is quite expected for such a low cost. The boring design and low resolution of the cameras did not add to the attractiveness of the smartphone. Also, many owners had problems with the spoken speaker - it is quite quiet. One cannot but pay attention to autonomy. With an average load, the charge is enough only for daylight hours, and if you use the Internet, then only for a few hours.
