Xiaomi isn’t the only phone maker to launch an all alloy phone with fingerprint scanner today. ZTE also launched the new ‘Small Fresh 3′, but specs and pricing aren’t that impressive.
After seeing the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 launch at 899 Yuan today and boating hardware that is good enough to see on a flagship phone, the release of the ZTE Small Fresh 3 is a little underwhelming.
ZTE are pricing their new phone at 990 Yuan in China, which is about on par with the Redmi Note 3 and the Meizu Metal and like those two phones it also has an all metal body and fingerprint scanner (on the rear).
Gizchina News of the week
Compared to the other phones though, the ZTE has a 5-inch HD 1280 x 720 display, and a much less powerful quad-core Mediatek MT6735 chipset, 2800mAh battery plus just 8GB internal memory. There is however a SD card slot and the front camera of the device is 8 mega-pixels.
ZTE chose today to announce their latest budget phone, but the device won’t be available to buy until the 4th December. At this price, don’t expect may resellers to offer the phone internationally.
What the hell? Shitty news. Not glad i spent time reading this.
I was about to comment why did I waste my time to read this? Lol … you said that before me bro.
The Umi Rome is way better than this crap.
im trying to give Umi Rome precedence over ALL THE OTHER launches today …
am i committing a sin ? :p
Nope not really. Only other device I like aside from the Rome is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. Others are somewhat overpriced.
yeah … note 3 is v.impressive … but for the sd card slot :/
thats a BIG minus :/
Of the devices launched today, even the umi rome is more interesting than this… :-/
umi rome is ACTUALLY the most decent of the lot … for the price 😀
( i’ll assume u know me from the forums )
Nope, I’m not really in international tech forum right now, i know you just for the comments here! 😀
lol … i was talking about the comments (aka forums here :p)
As you can see, I’m a rookie, so i don’t understand yet most of the slang here xD
you’ll get used to it 🙂
ZTE just for the sake of people not forgetting you, you picked parts hanging around and you gave us. Weldone…. where is the UMI?
