14 DAY TRIAL // Chinese company ZTE has just revealed its new lineup of smartphones for Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2014, which includes a couple of high-end devices.
Unfortunately, not all devices that will be introduced next week in Las Vegas, have been detailed by the handset maker. According to the company, its very first Iconic Phablet will be officially unveiled at CES 2014.
There's little info on the phablet's specs in the ZTE's press release, but it's better than nothing. The device is said to pack a large 5.7-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720p) resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass, along with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, wireless charging capabilities and Dolby Digital Sound.
ZTE also confirmed its “Iconic Phablet” will also feature “a smart viewer that allows two applications to be simultaneously displayed on the screen.”
Next in line is the sequel to the somewhat popular Grand S smartphone. Dubbed ZTE Grand S II, the handset has been confirmed to feature “the latest intelligent voice control technology, enabling voice recognition unlocking and voice-to-phone photography.”
Last but not least, ZTE Sonata 4G will be launched in partnership with US-based carrier Aio Wireless. The phone will feature a decent 1.4 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor and 1GB of RAM.
The Sonata 4G will also sport a 4-inch display, a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with autofocus and HD (720p) video recording, as well as an 1780 mAh Li-Ion battery.
In the same piece of news, ZTE also announced it will showcase the recently announced nubia 5S and nubia 5S mini at CES 2014. Both smartphones are now available for purchase in China.
“ZTE has been developing a portfolio of fantastic consumer electronics on top of the smartphones for which we’ve become well known. This year, we will be focusing on pairing unique designs with unparalleled technology in order to offer customers the best possible experience at an affordable price,” said Mr. Zeng Xuezhong, ZTE EVP and Head of the Mobile Devices Division.
