We first started to see ZTE‘s Grand X smartphone this past summer, following it up with a hands-on review of the rather sleek-looking handset. Now the device has made a new appearance, this time over at the FCC with a nice T-Mobile brand on its back, indicating that we’ll be seeing the handset show up at the carrier sometime soon. Nothing official has been announced.
Lending further support to what we see in the images is the filing itself, which mentions T-Mobile’s WCDMA 1700 AWS network. It is safe to assume, then, that the Grand X will be hitting the market via the carrier, although when that could happen and what price range we’re looking at is anybody’s guess. Thus far, nary a peep has been uttered in the rumorsphere about either of them.
ZTE’s Grand X features a nicely-sized IPS display at 4.3-inches with a resolution of 960 x 540. Inside you’ll find a dual-core 1GHz processor, and, assuming the specs are the same as the one we got our hands on back in July, there will be 4GB of internal storage space and 512MB of RAM. Around back you’ll find a 5-megapixel camera, and a 1,650mAH battery to run it all.
We took a peek through the user manual up on the FCC’s website, and nothing stands out as particularly different or new. While the specs are decent, the handset will run Android Ice Cream Sandwich, meaning there is officially nothing exciting about the device. Still, given ZTE’s usually low price-point, this could end up being a decent budget phone for those wanting a large display.

Just when you thought that the megapixel wars are over, here we are with word that Toshiba’s spanking new TCM5115CL 20-megapixel image sensor is being prepared to roll out to the masses, with it being the highest-resolution ever image sensor constructed that will target point-and-shoot cameras. Hmmm, perhaps it is the dawn of a new megapixel war, and who are we to argue with the industry movers and shakers? Just when you thought that there was no longer any more point to cramming in additional pixels onto small image sensors, here we are with Toshiba’s version, where this new 1/2.3-inch image sensor will pack in 25% more pixels than usual.
I guess you know that smartphones and tablets are one hot ticket item this Christmas, otherwise how else do you explain the massive download of the Temple Run game over the Christmas period? Keith Shepherd, founder of Imangi Studios, the very same studio behind the highly addictive Temple Run game, just announced on Wednesday that their game received more than its fair share of love over Christmas. In fact, this game was downloaded over a million times on iOS, and also more than one million times on the Android platform. The good news does not stop there though, as Amazon’s Appstore also registered more than 500,000 downloads throughout the 24-hour period. This is definitely an achievement worth trumpeting about in the span of just one day. To put things in perspective, Temple Run was the top free and top grossing app on Apple’s App Store earlier this year, garnering more than 40 million downloads and 7 million daily active users. Users these days sure are fast and efficient in updating their devices, no?
