ZTE intros Grand Memo II LTE: Android 4.4 KitKat, 80% screen

ZTE took the wraps off of the Grand Memo II LTE at MWC 2014. This is the company's latest ultra large (and also ultra slim) Android smartphone, coming as a successor to last year's 5.7-inch Grand Memo.

With a 6-inch IPS HD (720 x 1280) screen that covers 80% of its front, the Grand Memo II LTE is sure to make an impression on pretty much anyone interested in huge handsets. The new device has a “textured back”, measures 161.5 x 83 x 7.2mm, and will run Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box.

ZTE customized the Grand Memo II LTE with a new MiFavor 2.3 UI, which reportedly “enriches the user experience, making the handset more natural for human use.” Other features: 13MP BSI rear camera with Flash, 5MP front-facing camera, Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal memory.

The new Grand Memo comes with a 3200 mAh battery. According to ZTE, this uses its “unique battery-saving solutions that cut power consumption by 30%, allows for 16 hours of continuous HD video playback, 72 hours of music playback or several days of normal use.”

ZTE says that the Grand Memo II LTE will be released in China first (starting April). After that, the handset will be rolled out internationally, including in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Pricing details have not been unveiled yet.

We should have a hands-on with the ZTE Grand Memo II soon, so stick around for more details about this brand new 6-inch KitKat handset.
