Hi all

If the issue of whether the Skate would be 800MHz or 1GHz wasn't enough for you, Atomix86 asked about 1.4GHz dual core devices.

ZTE can confirm that it is devloping a device based on the Qualcomm MSM8255T. That Snapdragon S2 chipset has a documented theorhetical clock speed of 1.4GHz. (It is not dual core though.)

ZTE aims to have a device based on that Snapdragon chipset on the market before the end of 2011.

The OMAP3630 is capable of 1.2GHz and is stable as proven by the Defy so it's not something new and the price had better be right.

OMAP would be nice since it'll be the preferred CPU line for Ice Cream Sandwich.

Will come out out by the end of 2012, if at all?

I'm probably going to be completely and utterly wrong but remember that recent video where the ZTE chap said the Skate has an 8255 CPU?

Now we know the 1GHz Skate will be available later in the year.

And above it says "Qualcomm MSM8255T", the turbo version of the MSM8255 (which ran at 1GHz).

I might be doing 2+2=5 here but does anyone else think what I'm thinking?

"ZTE aims to have a device based on that Snapdragon chipset on the market before the end of 2011." = ZTE Skate 2/ZTE Skate Turbo/ZTE Skate POWAARRR edition

ZTE MOAR? ZTE Blade ++? ZTE Skate²? ZTE Pi²?

If it had the bigger screen 4" - 4.5" Then I'd definitely have one.
Even if it was only 1.2Ghz

I'd say a 4" screen. Perfect size from what I've heard

That would interest me greatly, particularly if it was coupled with a 4.3" screen and 768mb RAM

NO. We don't want Hummerphones

[Atomix86]

Hummerphone? I have big hands and hate using anything smaller than a 4.3" screen

I think 4" would be fine for you still

[blade_]

4.3 is the best i think

with an amd bulldozer 8core

Nah, had a Galaxy S and was still too small (not to mention ridiculously thin).

Well you're a rare case. I know a lot of people who've moved from Desire HD to Incredible S because of the screen size.

[ThermalDroid]

With a Quad core 2GHz processor , 2Gb of RAM and 250Gb of ROM!
I present to you:
the ZTE CHALLENGER!




any takers?

I could say just the opposite. Fact is 4.3 is becoming the norm for the powerhouse phones. And I love it .

[ThermalDroid]

4" is big enough for me, any bigger needs to have retina screen resolution for me.

[flibblesan]

Dual-core MSM8960 CPU
1.5Gb RAM
4Gb internal storage
4inch 480x854 SuperLCD
Unibody build

The ZTE WIN!

Available in my dreamworld.
