About ZTE Blade A520
The ZTE Blade A520 feels compact in the hand, measuring 71.6 mm wide, 143.5 mm tall and just 7.9 mm thick while weighing a modest 137 grams. Its 5‑inch TN‑TFT LCD screen delivers a 720 by 1280 pixel resolution, offering clear visuals for everyday tasks and media consumption on a modestly sized display.
Under the surface, the device runs Google Android 7.0 Nougat and is equipped with 2 GiB of RAM to handle multitasking and app usage. Power comes from a 2400 mAh battery, and the phone supports a single SIM card for connectivity, all brought together by ZTE’s entry‑level offering in the Blade lineup.
This variant swaps the base model’s TN‑TFT panel for an IPS TFT LCD, giving richer colours and wider viewing angles. Its chassis measures 71 × 144 × 8.4 mm and weighs 135 g, making it a touch slimmer in width and height but slightly thicker and lighter than the original. It also ships with 16 GB of internal storage, double that of the entry‑level 8 GB configurations.
Compared with the other Blade A520 versions, this model offers twice the storage and RAM of the Global Dual SIM LTE 8 GB/1 GiB and the CN Dual SIM TD‑LTE 8 GB/1 GiB phones. Against the CN Dual SIM TD‑LTE 16 GB/2 GiB handset, it targets the global LTE market and uses a single‑SIM tray instead of dual SIM.
