The ZTE Engage Cricket price in the US has popped up on the carrier’s online store with its shipping date marked for October, just as the Blade III. This handset brings in a taste of the Ice Cream Sandwich platform and a Qualcomm MSM8655T Scorpion processor ticking at 1.4GHz.
A 4-inch WVGA TFT capacitive display dominates the front panel along with a VGA camera placed above it. In addition to these, there is an 8MP rear-facing snapper with LED flash for capturing images and shooting videos in dim light. Like the Huawei Ascend Q, this smartphone supports the carrier’s Muve Music service that provides access to unlimited music and video downloads from all sorts of genres.
“The ZTE Engage is an exciting smartphone with enhanced functionality from Android 4.0 OS and will be available with Cricket’s new value-rich no-contract smartphone service plans,†commented Matt Stoiber, senior vice president of devices for Cricket. “Impressive at any price, the ZTE Engage will be a wow device for Cricket customers and is a great new addition to the higher-end smartphone line-up that Cricket is turning on this year.â€
A built-in microSD card slot that supports up to 64GB is also included in the specifications sheet for users to further expand the overall hoarding capacity. The ZTE handset packs in a 1900mAh Li-ion battery for juicing up the above listed features. Moving on to the plans offered by the network provider, potential buyers can select between 3 no-contract smartphone tariffs starting at $50 per month which cover data access.
The ZTE Engage Cricket price amounts to $249.99 (approx. Rs. 13,175). The handset’s release date has been scheduled for October 2 and it will be up for grabs via the carrier’s online store and retail outlets.
