The ZTE Grand X series is relatively unknown to many, and unless you’re using the services of US network carriers like Cricket Wireless and AT&T, you might never have used one of the smartphones in this series. A new smartphone, the ZTE Grand X 4 has been launched to succeed the ZTE Grand X 3 which was launched in January.
The ZTE Grand X 4 is a mid-range smartphone with decent specs and a modest price tag. Like the Grand X 3, the ZTE Grand X 4 is built to look like a high-end smartphone and it looks more premium than it costs.
ZTE Grand X 4 Specifications, Review and Highlights
The ZTE Grand X 4 comes with a 5.5-inch IPS touchscreen display with an HD (1280 * 720) pixel resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It is powered underneath by a 1.4GHz Quad-core Snapdragon 425 processor which is an improvement upon the SD210 processor found in its predecessor, the Grand X 3.
The phone comes with 2GB of RAM and 16GB internal storage capacity which can be expanded with a microSD card. It sports a 13MP camera with LED flash at the rear and a 5MP selfie shooter up front. Beneath the rear flash is a fingerprint sensor for biometric unlocking and locking of the phone.
The battery has been upgraded from 3080mAh to 3140mAh on the Grand X 4, with the added advantage of Qualcomm Quick Charge tech for fast charging. Unlike the Grand X 3 which boots Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, the ZTE Grand X 4 runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box.
