ZTE Geek U988S outed as world’s first Tegra 4 phone, headed to China Mobile
Posted in: Today's Chili
China’s TENAA certification database is notorious for leaking mobile devices, but this time ZTE’s learned that if you can’t beat it, then just play along with it. After this U988S was leaked by TENAA recently, ZTE decided to share some product shots on a forum and Sina Weibo ahead of time. What’s more, the company confirmed that this red device is actually the China Mobile version of the Geek, but the Intel chip has been replaced by NVIDIA’s upcoming Tegra 4. As teased before, this will likely make the new Geek the world’s first phone to pack this quad-core chip, which will be clocked at 1.8GHz and will have 2GB of RAM, according to the TENAA filing.
Other changes include a 5-inch LCD upgrade from 1,280 x 720 to 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, plus the front-facing camera is now at two megapixels instead of just one. On the other hand, the old 8-megapixel main camera is here to stay. Sadly, this particular device will only work on China Mobile’s TD-SCDMA network, meaning the rest of the world will have to stay tuned for a global version. Let’s hope it doesn’t take too long.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon is such a beautiful piece of hardware that we’re having trouble concentrating. With that carbon fiber chassis, the Ultrabook is thin, light and classily understated. Even packing Ivy Bridge internals, it still managed to crank out five hours of battery life and, aside from its slightly weak display, stands head and shoulders above other skinny carbon laptops we could mention. But what about you high-rollers who splashed out upwards of $1,400 on one of these things? Here’s the time for you to share your experiences and tell us what you would change.
