Chinese manufacturer ZTE, of Orange San Francisco fame, has revealed its latest Android phone – the ZTE Skate. It’s very much along the lines of a sequel to the popular San Francisco in design terms, offering a 4.3″ screen along with Android 2.3 onboard from launch in a similar form factor.
You also get a 5megapixel camera, along with an 800MHz processor of unknown make. Probably for about one fifth the price of the new LGs and Samsungs.
The ZTE Skate is set to launch in May, presumably actually under the ZTE name this time rather than getting the rebrand treatment. Imagine this for, say, £149 or thereabouts. Go, Team ZTE! We’ve always liked you more than Huawei.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
