Budget buyers looking at entry-level Android options will find the Blade A520 covers the basics without much fuss. It runs on a Mediatek MT6737 quad-core chipset paired with 2GB RAM, enough for light multitasking on Android 7.0 Nougat. Storage sits at 16GB, but the microSD slot stretches that up to 256GB if you need more room for photos and apps. The 5-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720 x 1280 resolution, which is standard for this price bracket.

Camera-wise, you get an 8MP rear shooter with LED flash and an 8MP front camera, both able to record 1080p video, plus handy extras like HDR and panorama modes. The 2400mAh battery is on the smaller side, so heavy users may need to top up during the day. ZTE Blade A520 price in Malaysia starts from RM249.

At 130g and just 8.4mm thick, it's an easy phone to pocket. Dual SIM support and LTE Cat4 connectivity round out a spec sheet built for straightforward daily use rather than heavy gaming or photography.
