ZTE debuts Intel-powered Grand X IN
The Android-based smartphone is the company's first handset to employ an Intel Medfield processor
ZTE today used the IFA consumer electronics show to announce its first smartphone to employ Intel's Atom Z2460 "Medfield" mobile processor.
Called the Grand X IN, the handset runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and features a single-core 1.6GHz processor, a 4.3-inch qHD display, and 8-megapixel camera. Like most higher-end Android phones, the ZTE comes with 1GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, a front-facing camera, NFC, and microSD expansion. At first blush, the Grand X IN closely resembles its recent Grand X, save for its processor.
Although pricing and carrier details are still unclear, the ZTE Grand X IN is expected to debut in Europe in September. As far as a U.S. model is concerned, ZTE hasn't indicated if or when we'll get a variant. Looking down the road, ZTE advises that there are more Intel-based devices on the agenda.
