We have been saying it for months: 2013 is the year of FullHD screens for mobile phones. And the Chinese firm ZTE, in its aspirations to be among the top three manufacturers in 2015, accepts the pulse that HTC, Huawei and Sony have already signed up for, and that throughout the year will have more competitors, such as Samsung or LG. This ZTE Grand S comes to present what could be the standard for this type of equipment in terms of the screen. We speak of a panel of five inches which distributes the regulatory resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. And in order to present arguments in its segment, the team that appliesZTE to compete focuses on the thickness.
This is so due to a profile of only 6.9 millimeters, which apparently should also correspond to a relatively light weight "" given that the battery is not equipped with a particularly high amperage "". On the other hand, in addition to the large screen and the thin thickness, the ZTE Grand S presents weighty arguments to be a reference in the face of a good part of the market. For example, it has a really powerful processor. It is the Snapdragon S4 Pro, a quad-core unit that develops a frequency of 1.7 GHz. And as if that were not enough, it is also equipped with a two GB RAM.
As for the memory for data storage, the ZTE Grand S installs 16 GB as standard, which could be expanded with the help of a microSD card of up to 32 GB. In the multimedia plane this terminal also gets muscle. The camera combo is proof of this. What we found is a thirteen megapixel main sensor with an LED flash, as well as a secondary two megapixel sensor. In both cases, the maximum resolution for video capture tops out at FullHD, again. In addition, the ZTE Grand S is prepared to work with the standard of data connections of the fourth generation LTE., although as we have already told on occasion, this function does not have commercial support in our country at the moment.
The battery we alluded to earlier has a maximum load of 1,780 milliamps. Although there is no data about the autonomy that the equipment is capable of achieving with that unit, in principle the failure of the ZTE Grand S could reside there, since, compared to what other terminals of its kind present "" and even the previous generation ””, the amperage difference is too great. The ZTE Grand SIt is very powerful and has a screen of dimensions and quality that is too generous for a battery of that type, so unless it is expanded a bit more for its launch, we could be facing a phone that depends excessively on a charging point with more often than desirable. It will be during this first quarter when it is put on sale in China, and the deployment in the rest of the markets is expected to take place between the months of April and June.
