ZTE Grand X IN: nuovo smartphone Intel-powered a breve in Europa

È la terza volta che torniamo a parlare di smartphone Intel nel giro di pochi giorni dopo mesi di silenzio: prima vi abbiamo segnalato un modello destinato alla madre Russia, poi è stata la volta di Motorola e ora ZTE presenta una nuova versione del suo Grand X Intel-inside.

Per la precisione il processore è un Atom Z2460 con 1 GB di RAM, mentre il display rimane un 4,3'' qHD (960 x 540) e la fotocamera posteriore passa da 5 a 8megapixel. Abbastanza capiente la batteria, date anche le dimensioni, da 1.650 mAh, e gradita la presenza del chip NFC.

ZTE Grand X IN sarà disponibile da inizio settembre in Europa con Android 4 preinstallato, e quindi rappresenta anche per noi una chance di mettere le mani su uno smartphone Intel-inside. Siete più incuriositi o scettici al riguardo? Qui di seguito pubblichiamo il comunicato stampa in lingua inglese.
