ZTE Axon 60

Strengths

The performance has not disappointed me and on the contrary has far exceeded the expectations I had considering the processor that this device integrates.
It has enough power to export videos in full HD although obviously not with the maximum speed.
It is not so bad in terms of Graphics compatibility but obviously you cannot use a lot of effects due to the limited processor.
The Experience doesn't feel stable fortunately there was not a moment where it came to stay completely Frozen.
It is advisable to select low graphic qualities and in this case the device behaved very well had very good stability 60 frames per second on average.
The heating is going to be really very low compared to the heating that we would find on other devices.
You have a lot of capacity to store there many photographs many videos and more and you also have the possibility of placing a micro SD card with what you could still save many more things.
It has enough power for gaming although it's not recommended due to the limited processor.

ZTE Blade A53+

The ZTE Blade A53+ is a budget smartphone that falls short in several areas. Despite its affordable price tag of around $150, this device fails to impress with its mediocre specs and features. The inclusion of a micro USB charging port in 2023 is a major misstep, while the dual camera setup, display resolution, and RAM are also underwhelming. With better options available at similar or slightly higher prices, such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11, it's hard to recommend this phone to anyone looking for a reliable budget device.

ZTE Axon 60

The ZTE Axon 60 promises a decent smartphone experience without breaking the bank. With its unassuming processor, modest specs, and relatively affordable price tag, this device seems to be an entry-level offering from ZTE. However, its performance and capabilities may exceed expectations, particularly when it comes to running multiple apps simultaneously. As we dive into this review, let's see if the Axon 60 can deliver on its promise of a reliable and feature-rich smartphone experience at a budget-friendly price point.
