ZTE Grand S Specs

10.0

Description

When the "world's thinnest" term is used for one of the Full HD 5-inchers, one ought to listen. That's precisely the moto ZTE is using to brag about its Grand S flagship it unveiled at CES 2013, and, at just 6.9 mm thin, who can blame the manufacturer for basking in the phone's svelte dimensions. The Grand S sports the said 5" 1920x1080 pixels display, and gets powered by a pimped quad-core 1.7 GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro. It also has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB of storage, yet makes room for a microSD slot. A 13 MP rear cam and a 2 MP front-facing shooter capable of 1080 video round up the top-shelf specs, but at 1,780 mAh, the battery takes a hit for allowing the Grand S to strut its slim chassis on the Android catwalk.

"The Grand S joins the Grand Era and Grand X in ZTE's premium handset range, with the latest handset being the stand out offering.Grand S is an intriguing proposition packing a full HD 5-inch display, 1.7GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 13MP camera,4G connectivity and Anroid Jelly Bean.Into a chassis which is just 6.9mm thick. Design wise ZTE has stepped things up with the Grand S wrapping it in a classy polycarbonate unibody which makes the phone feel premium in the hand and thanks to that 6.9mm depth it's pretty easy to hold. I was Amazed with the 13.0 MP camera though... A nice phone that ZTE managed to launch this year.
