ZTE's 'affordable' U956 poses for pics, reportedly offers 5inch 720p screen, quadcore CPU, 8megapixel camera

ZTE‘s no stranger to phones that provide more bang for your buck, so it’s hardly surprising to see evidence of a new mid-range phablet from the Chinese outfit. The leaked images may not point towards another world first, but the device apparently runs Android 4.1.2 and is rumored to pack a 5-inch, 1,280 x 720 display and a quad-core MediaTek MT6589 SoC. There’s also support for China’s TD-SCDMA networks, while an 8-megapixel camera joins some China Mobile branding on the back. Some specifications are still missing, but if the pricing is as low as expected, the smartphone could likely be an option for penny-pinchers who can’t afford its designer cousin.

ZTE U956 Makes A Splash In China

Posted in: Today's Chili

zte u956 ZTE U956 Makes A Splash In ChinaChina Mobile was said to be on the receiving end of the Huawei G520, where this quad-core smartphone is said to retail for approximately $225 after conversion, sporting a 4.5” display in the process, but what happens if you are on the lookout for something larger in size without having to break the bank? What if you had the option of a 5” display by having to fork out a mere $17 more? This is where the ZTE U956 comes in, where it will also hit China Mobile for approximately $242 as it is tipped for a release in the near future.

Just what kind of innards can you find underneath the hood of the ZTE U956? For starters, there will be a quad-core MediaTek MT6589 processor within alongside a 720p resolution 5” display, carrying an 8-megapixel shooter behind with LED flash. No idea on whether this bad boy will make its way to the US, but the China market does seem to shape up to be a hotbed for 5” devices, too.
