In addition, the smartphone embeds 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal memory, as well as microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).
ZTE Grand X sports a large 4.3-inch qHD capacitive touchscreen display that supports 540 x 960 pixels resolution and 16 million colors.
There’s also a 5-megapixel rear camera with autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording, as well as a secondary VGA front-facing camera for video calls.
Dolby mobile sound enhancement technology is included as well, along with HSDPA (21 Mbps) and HSUPA (5.76 Mbps) support.
Last but not least, ZTE Grand X comes with Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as a 1650 mAh Li-Ion battery, which has yet to be rated by the manufacturer.
