The ZTE Blade A3 is a mid-range phone that was released back in October. When it was announced, it launched in Glacier Blue and Obsidian Black; today ZTE has announced a third color variant.

The new color variant called Quite Blue actually looks more like a dark shade of teal. It also has black front bezels unlike the Glacier Blue variant with white bezels.

The specs of the new color option as well as the price remains the same as the others. You get a 5.5” HD display with 2.5D glass on top. There is 3GB of RAM paired with MediatTek’s MT6737T processor and 32GB of storage.

The selling points of the Blade A3 are its dual front cameras (5MP + 2MP) with flash, its 4000mAh battery, and a dedicated MicroSD card slot. The Blade A3 uses a triple card tray which lets you insert two SIM cards and a MicroSD card slot at the same time.

The Blade A3 packs a 13MP rear camera, an earphone jack and a micro USB port. It also has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner or if you want you can decide to use the Face Unlock feature instead.

ZTE’s Blade A series is an example of bang for buck, and its latest model, the Blade A3 keeps to that tradition. Announced a few hours ago, the new phone does pack some impressive features for just ¥799 (~$120).

The Blade A3 has a 5.5” HD 2.5D TFT display. ZTE is trying to keep the price low, so there is no protection on the display. A MediaTek MT6737T quad core processor clocked at 1.5GHz is under the plastic body. RAM is 3GB and built in storage is 32GB.

Like we have seen in a number of new mid-range phones like the Redmi Note 5A, the ZTE Blade A3 has a triple card slot. That way, you don’t need to sacrifice a SIM slot for a MicroSD card (128GB max.)

One of the selling points of the Blade A3 is its dual front facing cameras. One is a 5MP sensor and the other is a 2MP sensor. Both work together to capture portrait images. There is also a soft flash on the right for illumination. The rear camera is a 13MP sensor.

The Blade A3 rounds it up with a 4000mAh battery that should last a whole day seeing as the display maxes out at 720p. There is a micro USB port and 3.5mm audio jack. It has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, but if you want, you can try out the Face Unlock feature which ZTE says is safe and fast.
