The offer of Yoigo, the former virtual operator, continues to increase its catalog of offers. In this case add a terminal of Chinese origin named ZTE Skate. Based on Google's Android and with a large touch screen, this smartphone can be obtained from 30 euros. It should be remembered that Yoigo had stopped subsidizing mobile phones and was giving way to what they call “installment payments”.
A few days ago it was revealed that Yoigo would be the third operator to set aside mobile subsidies, as did Movistar and Vodafone. However, and unlike the latter two, Yoigo did bet on his own formula: the so-called installment payment. This consisted of paying a small amount when the permanence contract is signed - from 18 to 24 months depending on the rate - and paying comfortable installments each month until the agreed months end.
This May this decision came into force and with ZTE Skate the new era begins. Thus, any client that comes from another mobile phone company - either through portability or registering a new number - the moving price of the mobile will be the same. In the first place, and if you decide to pay at once what the mobile costs, Yoigo has posted the price of 150 euros and it will be in force with all rates.
On the other hand, if you decide to choose the “installment payment” mode, the price to pay at first will depend on the selected rate. On the one hand, by signing a 24-month permanence contract, the user could decide on La Mega Plana 55 (55 euros per month fee) and should pay an initial amount of 30 euros. The remaining amount would be divided into five euros per month - and added to the invoice - throughout the stay. This is the same case that would happen when choosing the Mega Flat 40 (40 euros per month).
However, with the other rates (Mega Plana 30, Mega Plana 20, La Plana 20, La Plana 10 or La del Ocho), the price to pay in the first installment would amount to 60 euros and five euros should be paid per month, although in all these cases it would only be for 18 months. Finally, if what you want is a prepaid number, the price of the terminal will also be 150 euros.
Technical characteristics
ZTE Skate is a mobile that is based on Android Gingerbread or Android 2.3. It is the older brother of the ZTE Blade that was also in the Yoigo catalog for a time. Unlike this last, the screen model we spoke has a diagonal that reaches 4.3 inches reaching levels of the famous Galaxy S2 or the last Sony Xperia S.
On the other hand, your processor will not be dual-core; you should be content with a single core model that will run at 800 MHz operating frequency. To this we must add a RAM memory of 512 MB and the possibility of inserting memory cards - in MicroSD format - of up to 32 GigaBytes in capacity. A two GB card is added to the sales pack.
Also, ZTE Skate also has a camera. It has a five-megapixel sensor and it will be possible to record videos, although the user will have to say goodbye to the possibility of capturing clips in high definition. Finally, the connections that appear in your profile are: WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth and a GPS receiver.
