Hi, everyone.
I'm Jessica Dolcourt from CNET here at CES 2014 in Las Vegas.
This is going to be your first look at the ZTE Sonata.
It is coming to a wireless.
We don't know when or for how much but I know it's a prepaid network.
So, you're gonna be buying it off-contract for the full retail amount.
The Sonata is a very thick, heavy chunker of the device.
It comes in white with silver accents along either side
and a little bit on the front.
So, it does have a little bit of style but it's really not meant for a market.
This is definitely an entry bubble phone.
It's got a 4-inch display.
That's pretty small by today's standards.
Luckily, it is 720p HD however, which is a pretty high resolution for the size screen.
It's running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, so that's a couple of versions behind but that's something that you can expect for an entry level phone.
On top of that, ZTE has my favorite UI, which is a custom interface.
You can see evidence of that in areas like the lock screen for instance and other parts as you navigate through the phone.
There is no front-facing camera on the Sonata but you will have a 5-megapixel camera on the back with flash and 720p HD video.
They're only 4 gigabytes of storage on the Sonata 4G but if you remove the back cover and the battery you will find a micro SD card slot that will give you up to 32-gig bytes more.
The processor is a 1.2 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon
400 CPU.
You've got only 4 gigabytes of storage here with no expandable memory.
So, this isn't a good option for people who wanna store a lot of videos, a lot of photos.
There's 1 gigabyte of RAM on here as well.
This is definitely a phone for people who are maybe using their first smartphone or if you're gonna be budget conscious.
No pricing yet but it's probably gonna be pretty competitive.
