ZTE have stuck by their word and have just launched the Nvidia Tegra 4 powered ZTEGeek on the Chinese market at an incredible $308!
ZTE are targeting Xiaomi’s Mi3 with the Geek, not only on price but on specification too, but in the process they have also shown other Chinese phone makers just exactly what can be achieved at with lower priced hardware.

At 1888 Yuan ($308) it is slightly cheaper than the 16GB Xiaomi Mi3, yet it has the same 1.8Ghz Tegra 4 chipset, 2GB RAM, 5-inch 1920 x 1080 display and 13 mega-pixel rear camera.
ZTE have also given the Geek Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, Glonass, and Android 4.2! It’s not all perfect though! There will only be a 16GB model available, the phone itself isn’t the most attractive in the world, the battery is just 2300mAh and there is currently only support for China Mobiles TD-SCDMA 3G networks!
It says on the the first picture that it’s 2Ghz Clover trail, 1GB ram and 8gb rom.
The design of the Tegra 4 device is the same as the previously released ZTE Geek with Intel internals. It has likely been used for illustrative purposes. That version of the Geek has been on sale since late July.
