Grand X2 In: il nuovo smartphone ZTE con Intel Atom

Continua lo sforzo da parte di ZTE di introdurre la piattaforma Clover Trail+ Atom di Intel nel mercato degli smartphone, quest'ultima infatti non sta procedendo con la velocità che ci si aspetterebbe nonostante ci siano già tutte le premesse.

Oggi è stato annunciato il nuovo ZTE Grand X2 In, uno smartphone con display da 4,5'' a risoluzione 720p, più piccolo del Geek ma ancora con CPU Atom Z2580 2GHZ, 1 GB di RAM e 8 GB di storage, espandibili tramite SD.

Fonti attendibili giurano che grazie al SoC Intel la fotocamera posteriore da 8 megapixel è in grado di restituire 24 fotogrammi al secondo in modalità scatto a raffica senza lag da parte dell'otturatore e con tanto di stabilizzatore di immagine: prestazioni che fanno invidia anche alle fotocamere digitale compatte (e forse anche a qualche reflex).

Lo smartphone arriverà in Europa, molto probabilmente, tra Luglio e Settembre.

Non mancheremo di aggiornarvi sul nuovo nato di casa LTE non appena ne avremo ulteriori notizie. A seguire il comunicato stampa.
