What we don't like about ZTE Blade A76 5G (6GB + 128GB)

  • Slow 10W charging speed
  • Pre-installed bloatware (MyOS UI) that can be annoying and difficult to disable
  • Poor camera performance in low light conditions
  • Camera software uses "AI enhanced" processing that can make photos look blurry or smushed
  • The camera takes 12MP photos and upsamples them to 50MP, rather than taking true 50MP images
  • Performance issues with the processor/CPU, including freezing and an inability to handle the camera properly
  • Concerns about potential lack of frequent software updates

Verdict

The ZTE Blade A76 5G (6GB + 128GB) is a value-focused smartphone powered by a Unisoc T606 octa-core processor, featuring a large 6.75-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a smooth 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate and a substantial 5,000mAh battery for all-day use. Key pros include its affordable price point, modern design, generous 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, capable 50MP AI main camera system, IP54 splash resistance, 3.5mm headphone jack, and 5G connectivity. Primary cons noted by users include the main camera producing average photos in low light, a relatively slow 18W or 10W charging speed depending on the source, an unpolished MyOS user interface with potential bloatware, and the lack of a microSD card slot for storage expansion on some versions.
