Chinese smartphone maker ZTE has introduced the ZTE Geek smartphone. This smartphone was unveiled at Intel Developer Forum (IDF), being held in Beijing. ZTE Geek packs in Intel's new 32nm Atom processor Z2580. Intel had announced this processor at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2013. Lenovo was the first company to announce a smartphone - Lenovo K900, which is based on Clover Trail+.
ZTE too had issued a press release in March announcing that it will be releasing a smartphone running on Clover Trail+ and it has now taken the wraps of this smartphone. Apart from the 2GHz dual-core processor, ZTE Geek packs 5-inch display with 720p resolution and 2,300mAh battery. The smartphone will run on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) out of the box.
ZTE Geek comes with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. For camera, there is an 8-megapixel rear shooter and a 1-megapixel one on the front. Connectivity options include 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and wireless charging.
ZTE has so far not indicated when its Geek smartphone will start shipping and at what price.
ZTE had recently launched its Grand Memo smartphone. This smartphone packs a 5.7-inch screen, a 13-megapixel camera and a 3,200mAh battery. The company is offering two versions of this smartphone. The Grand Memo being sold in China is powered by a Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064, while European version has a Snapdragon 800 variant with LTE support. Snapdragon 800 variant comes with a 2GB of RAM while the S4 Pro version offers 1GB RAM.
ZTE Grand Memo runs on Android 4.1.2 out of the box and is skinned with ZTE's MyFavourite UI featuring 3D animation.
Oh ZTE you cheeky monkey. Towards the end of day one at IDF in Beijing, we stumbled upon this awkwardly titled Android Jelly Bean phone that is the Geek at ZTE's booth. Needless to say, this is yet another phone powered by an Intel processor -- a 2GHz Clover Trail+ Atom to be exact, which is what Lenovo's K900also has. The rest of the device isn't too shabby, either: you get a nice 5-inch 720p display with Gorilla Glass, along with an 8-megapixel main camera, a 1-megapixel front-facing camera, 8GB of storage space, 1GB of RAM, 2,300mAh battery and wireless charging. Radio-wise we see UMTS 900/2100 courtesy of Intel's XMM 6260 chip, and there's also the usual lot of 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 LE and GPS.
Design-wise the Geek takes a huge step away from the Grand X IN and shares a similarly clean look with the Grand S, but without the black eye around the main camera. This particular unit had a glossy white finish as well, but we'd prefer a matte finish for a more premium feel. Since ZTE admitted that it had to rush this prototype for exhibition at IDF, we'll come back to the build quality once we see a final retail unit. Until then, check out our hands-on video and the press release after the break.
