Photos and specifications of the upcoming ZTE Grand S have been leaked prior to its unveiling at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas (January 8th – 13th). The Chinese company’s phablet-threatening, 5-inch, full HD screened smartphone measures a mere 6.9mm in thickness.

The ZTE Grand S will be a HD screened, sizeable yet sleek, Android powered smartphone priced competitively at around €340, according to Softpedia harvested rumours. There will be lots of power behind the 1920x1080 pixel screen in the form of a 1.5 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 (APQ8064) processor, which is in turn complemented by 2GB of RAM. I’ve made up a table of all the specs I could find from various sources...

ZTE Grand S specifications

1.5 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 (APQ8064)

RAM

2GB

Screen

5-inch, 1920x1080 pixels touch screen

Camera

13 megapixel main camera on back

Dimensions

6.9mm thick, sorry no further dimensions

Price

Approx $450 / €340 (price off contract in Chinese market)

 

Another interesting rumour about this phone is that it will be constructed using a ceramic material. Ceramic would probably give the smartphone a better quality feel than plastic but would also hopefully somehow avoid the brittle fragility of ceramic household items.

The price in its domestic Chinese market seems quite attractive and competitive for such a powerful and svelte smartphone. Full detailed specs and some hands on experience should be available with this device in a couple of weeks time when team HEXUS land in Las Vegas.

Still wondering why we need 1080p 5“ displays when we can't resolve individual pixels beyond 720p on a 5” display at normal phone viewing distances. All it's going to do is use more power to drive those additional pixels…
I'm trying to figure out why they need so many flowers on the podium! It looks like a funeral for a smartphone.
I just want more battery god damnit.

Why do I have to charge my phone every damned day.
Exactly TA, this is all well and good but what about the battery! Specs seem almost identical to the Oppo Find 5 which looks set to be pretty good, the main difference being that the find 5 is slightly thicker and has a 2500mAh battery.

I swear to god I would rather have a phone that is <1.5CM thick and has a nice 4000mAh battery than the stupidly thin phones we have now, I enjoy my N4 but i wouldnt be phased if it was thicker… although with a good kernel I have now managed to get over a days use :D.
