Guest Cyburner Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 The ZTE Skate could be a good successor to the ZTE Blade, Im predicting it will be around £130-150, and perhaps the ZTE Blade will official drop to £85-90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nedjo Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yep, noticed that as well. So maybe it's Adreno 205 after all? In any case, MSM7230 would mean ARMv7. Or it could be original Snapdragon - QSD8250 downclocked to 800 MHz that came with Adreno 205... but my bet is that someone made mistake and inside is MSM7230 with Adreno 205 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MSM7230 is used in the HP/Palm Veer and Huawei IDEOS X5, and I expect it will turn up in a lot more low-end smart-phones, it looks like it will be as popular as the MSM7227 was. Sooner or later, there will be a cheap and good MSM7230 Android phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest curl66 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/15/zte-ska...ndroid-2-3-4-3/ hopefully there some providers sponsor it as pay2go so we can get it for same price like the blade. flash and big display. camera have to be better than blade because you can not get a more worse cam.... :D i really like it :D i will definitly upgrade...

Guest renegade027 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) Yeah! Why is nobody jumping up and down? Very few specs in the news about this Skate device. One thing - 800 Mhz and Adreno 200? I thought the Adreno 200 goes with the 600 Mhz chip and the 800 Mhz one is with Adreno 205 and this chip supports Flash. Anyway, I'm sure there would be more details coming soon. 800x480 @ 4.3 in. is a bit....grainy. But! If they manage to offer this thing in the UK at under 150 quid, I could probably live with grainy for a year.

Guest oh!dougal Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Sadly, I think that if the Skate COULD run Flash, that would have been exactly what they would have been demonstrating. And without Flash, its a Flounder, not a Skate. Its starting to look like Flash is one significant landmark for market-segment-differentiation. No Flash means its a low-end phone, whatever the size of the screen. And that definitely applies to the 'Light' tablet too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 90180360 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) 800x480 @ 4.3 in. is a bit....grainy. Same as the HTC HD2 for example. Edited February 15, 2011 by 90180360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that thanks to Apple it has lost its relevancy and I'm not too sad about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rayraven Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 A ZTE Honeycomb tablet would be nice, wish they come up with a nice one soon. 4.3 inches is too big for me though, will be sticking to my blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that thanks to Apple it has lost its relevancy and I'm not too sad about that. For ordinary UK retail customers, the BBC says 'Apple or Flash only'. That's significant, and what is becoming more widely known to purchasers is that some devices are "iPlayer compatible" and some are not - which defines the 'incompatibles' as down-market. Plenty consumers care about iPlayer, even if they don't know that in turn means Flash. Vendors will pre-install an official BBC iPlayer app - but not myPlayer v1, BeebPlayer or Skyfire ...

Guest The-One Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) Flash is important. You cant say you have a full web experience on any device without flash, sadly of course, cause flash sucks more than anything. Unfortunately nowadays many sites still work with flash, and imo at 3.5' its not that big of a deal having flash cause the screen is small and you wouldn't enjoy anything. No point in having a Desire HD look alike if you cant really experience the web like it should be done. And hell, above that, if it can run flash means armv7 and even if it couldn't play flash it would mean its an allot more advanced cpu. Its like comparing a P4 to a i7 or a C2D. They can even have the same mhz but the P4 gets trashed anywhere any day in performance charts. Edited February 15, 2011 by The-One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 90180360 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 ZTE Unveils Skate Smart Phone at GSMA Mobile World Congress The official press release clearly says Adreno 200... Is none of the "journalists" asking ZTE what kind of chipset they use?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The-One Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) Well then i guess its an QSD8250 underclocked like they did on the A1 to save battery. I was hopping for a second gen but if it really has an adreno 200 then is a no go. The good part is that it uses armv7 instructions.

Think the adreno 200 isnt such a big issue. if they keep the frequency of releases we will have on christmas a phone thats in the range of a galaxy. also the cpu power of the blade is fine for me. also compared to my galaxyits really ok. but the screen is sooooo small. and if it is a underclocked version, perfekt, there will be an overclockable CM for this soon :D so the perfekt replacement for the blade until christmas to get something better.

Guest 90180360 Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Meanwhile at HTC... Wildfire S 600 MHz, 3.2-inch touch screen with 320 x 480 resolution, how do they think they can still get away with this?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gwebb Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 A bit of Googling and I've found references to an MSM7227-1 Turbo, apparently an 800 MHz version of the MSM7227, that is used in the Samsung Galaxy Ace. That said, I can't find any reference to this chip on Qualcomm's site. But assuming it exists that would explain the 800 MHz clock with the Adreno 200.
