0. phoneArena posted on 30 Oct 2012, 04:44

ZTE has announced a new Android smartphone priced at only 999 yuan, which equals to about $160. That's a pretty good price considering the kind of hardware that has been tucked inside the handset: quad-core Tegra 3 processor by NVIDIA clocked at 1.3GHz, 1GB of RAM...

Nice stuff but nothing compares to Nexus 4, gorgeous device.

that's what i was thinking too, just buy nexus 4 and you will be satisfied for ever, this thing is just good for kids.

wasn't intended to be compared to that, this is really great from ZTE providing nice specs at a very nice price.

Indeed it is. They are the savior of the people who cant afford expensive smartphone, Yet they provide the same experience

I agree that this ZTE device is nice, but same experience as Nexus 4?

same quad core experience.. but not necessarily means Nexus experience, or flagship experience.. you know, those Tegra optimised games..

Can't help but laugh the Galaxy Note 2 pisses all over this ZTE bum device. Matter of fact the Nexus 4 is also useless.. GalaxyNote 2 rules all believe that..

Note 2 is nice too but still cannot compare to Nexus 4, the reason is screen, Note 2 screen has a bluish tint while Engadget says Nexus 4 screen is better than One X.

You are obviously a fan of Note 2 and there's nothing wrong, I can understand that but Nexus 4 rules.

I agree, this nexus 4 is going to rule with an iron fist! and with the price its going to be available for it will definitely "rule out" the competition.

Dude u can't simply compare a 5.5 incher to this =.= i hate it when all these note 2 fan boys made oh-yeah-note2-always-better comments.

It's $160 and it runs on android like the Nexus.

People with money to burn will buy the Nexus, but more people can afford this device.

The truth is that as android devices flood the market, it makes it difficult to spend $400 to $500 more for a top of the line device while being locked into a 2-year contract when you can buy mid-tier android devices for $150 to $170 every 6 months with each device getting better spec's, respectively.

For $160, you get snooped by the Chinese government.

Don't forget, the US has its "Patriot (snooping) Act" too? I wonder who else is snooping, the British for sure! The Russians and Israelis maybe also! It's a fairly global club! Open to all governments!

Just about everyone is coming out with cheap or bargain basement android devices. Samsung sells more cheap android crap than it's high end stuff.

I hope this is not a lemon...

Every ZTE smartphone released in the USA has been garbage. They even manage to mess up a windows phone recently. Don't let the specs fool you.
