ZTE Grand Memo II LTE hands-on

As ZTE had promised, the Grand Memo II LTE was unveiled during Mobile World Congress. We had also been told the display was going to be 6-inches. Basically, that meant the Grand Memo II LTE was going to be a bit larger than the Grand Memo, which sports a 5.7-inch display.

In this case the 6.0-inch display of the Grand Memo II LTE is 720p, the same as we saw with the original model. ZTE has the Grand Memo II LTE equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage space. Other goodies include a 3200 mAh battery, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, and as the name would suggest -- LTE connectivity.

The camera setup includes a 5MP on the front, with a 13MP on the back. Further details for the front camera include it being a f/2.2, and further details for the rear camera include it being Sony BSI with auto-focus, flash and f/2.2. Despite the handset being on the larger side, it was surprisingly thin and light.

To that point, ZTE has this one measuring in at 6.36 x 3.27 x 0.2-inches. Lastly, this one is arriving with Android 4.4 Kit Kat and the latest version of the MiFavor user interface, which is touted as being able to enrich the user experience by "making the handset more natural for human use." With that in mind, make sure to keep following along for more coverage coming from MWC 2014.
