ZTE Blade A75 5G

The ZTE Blade A75 5G measures 163.6 mm tall, 74.9 mm wide, and 8.6 mm thick, giving it a volume of approximately 105.38 cm³. It weighs 189.7 g, which is a fairly typical figure for a smartphone of this screen size. The device has a conventional, non-folding form factor and does not feature a rugged build, nor does it carry any water resistance rating.

The ZTE Blade A75 5G uses an IPS LCD panel measuring 6.6″ with a resolution of 720 x 1612 px, resulting in a pixel density of 266 ppi. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate, which helps keep on-screen motion fluid during scrolling and general navigation. The display is touch-enabled but does not include branded damage-resistant glass, an Always-On Display mode, or a secondary screen. HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision are also not supported.

The ZTE Blade A75 5G is powered by the Unisoc Tanggula T760, a 7 nm octa-core chipset arranged in a big.LITTLE configuration with four cores clocked at 2.2 GHz and four at 1.8 GHz, handling graphics through an integrated Mali-G57 GPU with a turbo frequency of 650 MHz. The processor supports 64-bit computing, TrustZone security, integrated LTE, DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2. It is paired with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM running at 2133 MHz across two memory channels, alongside 128GB of internal storage; the maximum supported memory amount is 32GB, though ECC memory is not supported. In benchmarks, the chipset scores 423,297 on AnTuTu, 541 on Geekbench 5 single-core, and 2,155 on the multi-core test.

The ZTE Blade A75 5G features a dual-lens rear camera system with a 50 MP primary sensor and a 2 MP secondary lens, both using a CMOS sensor without back-side illumination. Focusing options include phase-detection autofocus for photos, continuous autofocus during video recording, touch autofocus, and manual focus, though laser autofocus is not available. Manual controls extend to ISO, exposure, and white balance, while optical zoom is absent and optical image stabilization is not included. The rear camera supports HDR mode, burst shooting, slow-motion video, panoramas, and timelapse, but does not shoot in RAW format, offer manual shutter speed control, HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording, or 3D capture. A single LED flash is present on the rear, while no flash is available on the front. The 8 MP front camera is a single-lens unit positioned conventionally — not under the display — and lacks its own flash.

The ZTE Blade A75 5G runs Android 13 and brings a solid set of privacy and usability features to the table. On the privacy side, it offers clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not included. The interface supports theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, and an extra dim mode, while productivity is aided by split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, customizable notifications, sharing intents, widgets, and the ability to play games while they download. On-device machine learning is supported, as are voice commands, offline voice recognition, Live Text, multi-user accounts, a child lock, and device position tracking. Features not present include Wi-Fi password sharing, a battery health check, focus modes, app offloading, direct OS vendor updates, and Quick Start.

The ZTE Blade A75 5G houses a 5000 mAh rechargeable battery that supports 18W fast charging, helping to reduce time spent tethered to a cable. A battery level indicator is included, keeping the user informed of remaining charge at a glance. The battery is not removable, and wireless charging is not supported.

The audio configuration of the ZTE Blade A75 5G is notably limited. It lacks a 3.5 mm headphone jack and does not feature stereo speakers. On the wireless audio side, none of the higher-quality Bluetooth codec standards are supported, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC. A built-in radio is also absent.

The ZTE Blade A75 5G supports 5G connectivity and accommodates two SIM cards, with Wi-Fi covered by both Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac). Bluetooth 5.2 is on board alongside NFC, and the device connects via a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0. For biometric security, a fingerprint scanner is available, while 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not. Location is handled through GPS with Galileo support, and an accelerometer is included among the sensors, though a gyroscope, compass, and barometer are all absent. The device does not offer an external memory slot, HDMI output, infrared sensor, ANT+ support, DLNA certification, crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, a heart rate monitor, motion or optical tracking, or a built-in projector, and no stylus is included.

The ZTE Blade A75 5G includes a video light, which can be used to illuminate subjects during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
