Does the ZTE Blade A55 support 5G connectivity?

No, the ZTE Blade A55 supports a maximum of 4G LTE connectivity. This is typical for budget devices.

Can I play games like PUBG or Genshin Impact on this phone?

The device is designed for simpler games (Candy Crush, Roblox on low settings). Demanding games like Genshin Impact will not run smoothly.

How long does the ZTE Blade A55 battery last?

Thanks to the 5000mAh battery and energy-efficient processor, the battery lasts up to two days with normal use (calls, social media, news).

Does the phone have NFC for contactless payments (Google Pay)?

Most ZTE Blade A55 models sold in the Baltics lack an NFC chip, so you cannot make payments with the phone in stores.

Is the screen bright enough for outdoor use?

The 450 nits brightness is sufficient for indoor use and cloudy weather, but readability in direct summer sunlight may be difficult.

Can the storage be expanded with a memory card?

Yes, the phone has a dedicated slot for a microSD memory card, supporting cards up to 1TB.
