Top 10 Best Budget Android Phone Review In 2023
The ZTE Blade A3Y is a budget phone from Yahoo Mobile that sits at the very bottom of the budget market. This is Yahoo Mobile’s first exclusive, but it is essentially the ZTE Blade A3 Prime that was released earlier this year. The specs are pretty run-of-the-mill, with a quad-core MediaTek processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, but it does have some nice features for such a cheap device.
Yahoo Mobile gave me a Blade A3Y and a Yahoo Mobile SIM, and I carried it around with my regular phone for about a week. I tested call quality, performance, battery life, and even how well the Blade A3Y played games to see how well a phone can really perform for such a low price.
The ZTE Blade A3Y is on the smaller side, with a square display, large, thick bezels, and a thickness that’s partly due to the fact that it has a removable plastic back. Available in one color, grape jelly, the body of the phone itself is black, while the removable back is a deep shade of purple.
