If you have been smitten with the ZTE Grand S, but can’t justify it’s price tag, then you will be happy to know that a low-cost sibling to the Grand S has just recieved it’s network license in China.

The ZTE V987 offers a similar design to the sleek Grand S, but in a much chunkier body, which helps the budget 5-inch smartphone tuck away a larger 2500mAh battery.

Like the ZTE U956, which we have featured over the past few days, the latest phone boasts a quad-core Mediatek MT6589 processor, 1GB RAM, 5-inch 720p display and 8 mega-pixel rear camera!

Prices haven’t appeared yet, but these to low-cost phablets look set to give smaller domestic brands a run for their money!
