ZTE Skates Into the Gingerbread Age

by Darcy LaCouvee on Feb 15, 2011 0 Comments">0

One of the hottest icebreakers at the 2011 Mobile World Congress is whether or not we’ve entered the Gingerbread Age. Following on the footheels of the Optimus 2X and the Galaxy S II, ZTE unveiled its skateboard-inspired , Android 2.3-running “Skate.” The Skate packs a 4.3-inch screen, 5-megapixel NSDPA camera, Bluetooth, A-GPS, Wi-Fi, and a G-sensor into 4.2 ounce shell. Its only noteworthy tradeoff is its 800MHz CPU. This is a step behind higher-end models, but its Adreno 200 graphics processing unit and distinct silhouette—with an expected price point below $200 for North American customers—make it a quite attractive option for Android newcomers.

by James Tromans on Oct 13, 2010 2 Comments">2

The 7-inch ZTE Light Android tablet isn’t anything to shout about, but it does a good job at the obvious stuff. It runs Android 2.1 and packs Wi-Fi and 3G radio. Of course, there is a GPS unit along with an SD card slot for increasing your memory. What is nice to hear is that this device is alleged to offer 10 hours of battery life. We have no clue from the press release as to what the price point will be on this device. We’re not there either so we can’t give you the first hand account, but apparently …

ZTE to release solar powered Android phone?

by James Tromans on Jun 18, 2009 0 Comments">0

Back in MWC this year, ZTE promised to release the world first low-cost solar powered mobile phone: the Coral 200 Solar. ZTE announced that the device will go on sale in June as little as $40, which was then worth around £28 or €32. At this point there was no word on OS or hardware specifications. Nonetheless, we liked the idea of this phone because not only can 1 hour of sunlight give you 15mins of talk-time, but it can be charged from mains as well. This is a perfect device for the energy conscientious or perhaps even the more …
