ZTE Blade A34

Strengths

The battery actually should last you a pretty decent time most likely longer than most other Android devices...
This is right now as the best as you can experience this device... with freshly set up, so it's running best right now...
The processor it's most likely going to last a decent amount of time... an octacore processor this is the a55...
If put some stuff on it applications it will slow down it will run crappier... but this is right now as the best as you can experience this device...
This should be a pretty decent battery life anyway for devices that come out nowadays...

Weaknesses

It's painfully slow so when you open up applications it just takes them a decent while to load up...
The device is freshly set up, so it's running best right now... but if put some stuff on it applications it will slow down it will run crappier...
This won't be a pleasant thing to use so anyway with that being said hopefully you found this video helpful...
You can see it's painfully see it's painfully slow so when you open up applications it just takes them a decent while to load up...
The device itself is crap but boy if I would ever get lost in a Wilderness this device would literally last me up to a month the battery there was absolutely insane for a device with a touchcreen...

Honor X8a

The Honor X8a is a mid-range smartphone that packs impressive features and specs previously reserved for flagship devices. The device boasts a sleek design with a squared-off frame, making it ergonomic in small to medium-sized hands. The 6.7-inch display has thin bezels and a 100MP primary camera, which delivers excellent image quality. In our testing, the X8a's performance was reliable, handling occasional gaming and browsing without issues. Battery life is also commendable, with the device lasting up to one day and a half on a single charge. Charging speeds are impressive, taking just over 30 minutes to reach 50% capacity. The camera system performed well, with detailed images and good color reproduction. The 100MP primary sensor produces excellent results, although some shots may appear too cool-toned. Ultra-wide shots can be inconsistent, while the macro lens is fun but not particularly useful. Portrait mode works decently, but a telephoto lens would have been a welcome addition. The X8a runs Android 12 with Honor's Magic UI 6.1, which offers a clean and minimalist interface. While there are no customization options available, the device ships without bloatware, making it a refreshing change from other mid-range offerings. In conclusion, the Honor X8a is a solid option for those seeking a reliable smartphone without breaking the bank. Its display may not be its strongest feature, but the camera system and battery life make up for it. The phone's price point of 10,990 pesos makes it an attractive choice for those looking to upgrade their mobile experience. Overall, the Honor X8a is a commendable mid-range smartphone that delivers on its promises.
