The ZTE Grand S that was spotted not long ago, had already been confirmed by the Chinese manufacturer itself. It is all geared up to make its debut at the CES to be held in January in Las Vegas.
Instead of letting the web go abuzz with various speculations regarding the Grand S, the company has gone ahead with the official announcement. And as Engadget, who was tipped off via Sina Weibo and MyDrivers mentions, the OEM has also informed prospective users about certain specifications of the phone. But those who require a more detailed report on the device, will have to be patient until ZTE slides the covers off it at the CES next month.
The phone in question comes enclosed in a form factor that measures not more than 6.9mm in thickness. This should make the device easy to handle. Moreover, it accommodates a touchscreen that offers a multi-touch real estate spanning 5 inches which should be capable of rendering clear and high definition visuals.
Based on the Android OS, probably the Jelly Bean platform, the ZTE phone will arrive with a powerful 13MP camera. Features like auto focus, LED flash and the ability to record videos should also be present along with a number of others. But so far, this is all that the company is willing to reveal. Whether it will actually be fueled by a quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor and 2GB of RAM or not, continues to remain a mystery.
Also, this is not the only 5-inch handset to have been designed by the company. The Nubia Z5 went official only recently and is here to compete with the likes of the Oppo Find 5. The Jelly Bean 4.1-powered smartphone employs the quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ 8064 processor in addition to 2GB of RAM. It even boasts of 32GB of internal storage. Besides a 13MP primary camera, it comes with a 2MP front-mounted webcam and is embedded with a 2300mAh battery.
The off-contract price of the ZTE Grand S is apparently tagged at ¥2,799 (approx. Rs. 24,640) and it will be showcased at the CES. The Nubia 5 is up for sale in China for ¥3,456 (approx. Rs. 30,430).
