The world’s 4th largest handset manufacturer, Chinese company ZTE has just announced the upcoming availability of four new Android smartphones, Grand Era, V790, V887 and V889M.

The handsets have been recently unveiled during a press event in Russia and are expected to go on sale in Europe in the following weeks.

Mobile-Review reports the most interesting of the four devices is the ZTE Grand Era, which seems to be the single-SIM version of the dual-SIM (GSM/CDMA) Grand Era that made it to the market a while ago.

The new ZTE Grand Era comes with a quad-core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz and boasts a stunning 4.5-inch HD (720p) capacitive touchscreen display, along with an impressive 8-megapixel rear camera.

Although the smartphone is powered by Google’s Android platform, ZTE has yet to confirm whether or not the new Grand Era will ship with Jelly Bean out of the box or with a previous version of the operating system.

Next in line is the ZTE V790, which might be the cheapest of the four. However, it does come with dual-SIM capability, as well as a decent 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display.

The phone is equipped with a 1GHz single-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM and a 3.2-megapixel rear camera.

The main selling point of the ZTE V887 is the large 5.0-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen display. Aside from that, the smartphone packs a dual-core processor clocked at 1GHz, a 5-megapixel rear photo snapper, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of ROM.

Last but not least, the ZTE V889M is another dual-SIM smartphone that features a 1 GHz dual-core processor and a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen display.

Furthermore, the device sports a 5-megapixel rear camera with autofocus, LED flash and HD (720p) video recording and a high-capacity 1690 mAh Li-Ion battery. The phone is powered by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.

There's no word on pricing options and availability for these new ZTE smartphones, so stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
