Pros and Cons

ZTE Blade A75 5G

Strengths

The phone has a plastic frame and glossy back panel that makes it feel not under the entry-level segment.
The IPS LCD screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz produces vivid colors for a decent viewing experience.
The phone comes with a transparent rubber case out of the box to address smudges on the back panel.
The device has a dual rear camera setup that can shoot up to 4K at 30 FPS and has an 8MP selfie shooter.

Weaknesses

The phone's build quality is prone to smudges due to its glossy back panel.
The audio from the speaker feels muffled, especially during calls.
The device heats up significantly during gaming sessions, making it uncomfortable to hold.
The charging speed is slow, taking almost 3 hours to charge from 20% to full.

Samsung Galaxy S25

Strengths

Zero risk for Samsung with this spec bump, making it a textbook example of a zero-risk upgrade.
The new chip, Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, might be a big enough bump that we notice it and maybe we don't even need a much bigger battery.
The new ISP on the chip might breathe new life into these cameras, potentially surprising us with better performance.
Samsung has been good about software updates lately, promising seven years of updates on their newest flagships.
The new One UI 7 is a refreshed look with fresh aesthetics and iOS-inspired features, making it a nice update to the S25.

Weaknesses

It's just a spec bump, with no IP69, no silicon carbide battery, no ultra-fast charging, and no brighter display.
The new camera features might not be enough to justify an upgrade for those who already have a decently new phone.
Some of the AI features are cool but debatable in terms of how much value they bring to the phone.
Clear cases can turn yellow over time, which is a problem dbrand's Ghost Case 2.0 aims to solve.
The only way to tell the S25 Ultra from the S24 is by a new colorway, making it hard for some users to justify an upgrade.

ZTE Blade A75 5G

The ZTE Blade A75 5G is an affordable smartphone that stands out in the entry-level segment with its price alone. While most devices settle for basic 4G connectivity and Wi-Fi, this phone boasts a 5G enabled experience. With a sleek design, HD+ display, and quad-camera setup, it's clear that ZTE aimed to deliver a solid mid-range device. But does it live up to expectations? We'll dive into the details of its performance, camera quality, and gaming capabilities to see if this phone is worth considering for those on a budget.

Samsung Galaxy S25

The Samsung Galaxy S25 is a textbook example of a spec bump - zero risk for the manufacturer, and consequently, its target demographic. The new phone boasts incremental upgrades over its predecessor, including a slightly larger screen, improved cameras, and a more powerful chip. However, whether these changes are enough to justify an upgrade remains to be seen. This review will examine if the S25's modest improvements are sufficient to sway those already satisfied with their existing device.
