Guest weeo Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 Hi, Is it worth gettings these ZTE's? And is it possible, when released ICS could be salvaged ( some parts ) to our Blade? http://www.gsmarena.com/zte_pf200-4556.php - GSM ZTE with cool high end specs Initial Article: http://www.gsmarena.com/zte_announces_two_android_40_smartphones_before_mwc-news-3849.php Mid Ranged ZTE for CDMA markets: http://www.gsmarena.com/zte_n910-4557.php
Guest hugobosslives Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 they will not be armv6 chips so not very helpful. still looking forward to them though. they look like an awesome upgrade if the price is right
Guest youngsta2010 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 I REALLY hope this phone comes to the UK with a decent price!
Guest Davidoff59 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 they will not be armv6 chips so not very helpful. what do you mean?
Guest weeo Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 I REALLY hope this phone comes to the UK with a decent price! The 4.3" one is. The mid spec isn't as its CDMA. I just hope orange don't get it, and if they do, don't call it a stupid name. Like the Orange Paris or something
Guest weeo Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 they will not be armv6 chips so not very helpful. what do you mean? For porting 4.0. I thouhht it would b useful for drivers or whatknot
Guest skywave Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 For porting 4.0. I thouhht it would b useful for drivers or whatknot Basically nothing will be usable. Maybe the kernel source will be somewhat blade-compatible but i assume they start over with a clean sheet (all the kernel releases so far were pretty much the same with some changes here and there).
Guest weeo Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 But would you get a ZTE again? Unless it was cheap.
Guest hecatae Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Everything announced so far from zte shouts nvidia tegra at me. After seeing what Samsung has just announced I think a lot of blade users would swap, will post an article later,

After seeing what Samsung has just announced I think a lot of blade users would swap, will post an article later, What did they announce? You dont mean the mini 2 and ace 2?
Guest hecatae Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Yes I mean the wvga 800mhz dual core ace 2.
Guest iKrautDroid Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Dual core 800mhz? I really cant see that happening.
Guest youngsta2010 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 If the price was right I'd definitely buy ZTE again. If they keep the sell it cheap approach i can imagine a lot of these phones being sold.
Guest JudasLucifer Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Interesting, given they have such budget devices. I feel the need for this to be sub £200, though considering the price of the skate, I doubt that. However it could drop from the initial price relatively quickly like the skate did :P
Guest youngsta2010 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 £200 sounds good to me man ;)
Guest Davidoff59 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 I emailed Zte about kernel source codes for the phones with the newer cameras and they said its not available, when I questioned why its not available, they said it wouldn't be released as its confidential. Not sure what they are playing at.
Guest tilal6991 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 I emailed Zte about kernel source codes for the phones with the newer cameras and they said its not available, when I questioned why its not available, they said it wouldn't be released as its confidential. Not sure what they are playing at. well seeing as the device isnt even released this isn't surprising.
Guest Davidoff59 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Sorry crossed wires, I asked for Blade and its itinerations kernel source code for the blades with the newer cameras, not these specific phones
Guest Roph Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 ZTE will finally stop squeezing out ARMv6 Phones? :lol:
Guest deksman2 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 The PF200 looks like a really good (and proper) upgrade. 4.3", dual core cpu... the only unknowns are the gpu, RAM capacity and price. I'm hoping that it will be priced below £200... in the ZTE Skate range for example.
Guest JudasLucifer Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 The PF200 looks like a really good (and proper) upgrade. 4.3", dual core cpu... the only unknowns are the gpu, RAM capacity and price. I'm hoping that it will be priced below £200... in the ZTE Skate range for example. We can all hope :P I think maybe £250 at launch, coming down to maybe 200 over time. It's interesting considering Zte's other devices are low end, the pricing on a high end device is harder to predict.
Guest ablackswan Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 If you're wondering what so special about that, so far the phones made with the Tegra 2 processor had to rely on modems from other companies, such as Qualcomm. Last year, Nvidia acquired Icera who also make modems for smartphones. This allows them to use their own modems in phones powered by their processors and the ZTE Mimosa X is the first phone to do so. Other than that the Mimosa X is a typical upper mid-range smartphone, with a qHD display, 5 megapixel rear camera, VGA front camera, 4GB memory, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. For any further information, we will have to wait for MWC next week. The phone will be launched in Q2, 2012.
Guest the Mitu Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Well, Mimosa X seems really interesting. Especially that it is speculated to be priced about 150-200$ (however it would seem suprisingly cheap to me). The only disadvantage for me is 4.3'' screen (I prefer range 3.5-4.0'' rather then bigger ones). After using blade I have some wishes (louder speaker, no LED quirk, etc.), but unless there's something wrong with it, Mimosa X can be a very interesting phone.
Guest Snaku Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 According to ZTE more phones will be announced next week, http://wwwen.zte.com...223_287683.html 23 February 2012, Shenzhen, China – ZTE Corporation (“ZTE”) (H share stock code: 0763.HK / A share stock code: 000063.SZ), a leading global provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, will next week announce a significant extension of its Smart Terminal capabilities – both in its product range and routes to market – including a major new quad-core flagship handset. ZTE will unveil eight new devices, delivering significant advances in power, high definition multimedia capabilities and design. Based on technology innovations including multi-core chipsets, LTE, 4G radio and the latest Android and Windows Mobile platforms, the new devices form a core component of ZTE’s ambition to become a top three handset provider by 2015. On the infrastructure side, ZTE will be demonstrating a wide range of application scenarios covering LTE/LTE-A, smart networks and cloud computing. “There is no doubt that this year’s Mobile World Congress will again see some exciting device launches. The new devices from ZTE will demonstrate how ZTE is without doubt among an elite group of handset providers as next generation telecommunications networks roll out globally. ZTE returns at least ten percent of its revenues back into R&D to ensure that it sustains its position as a true market innovator – and we’re counting down to being able to showcase this to the world’s mobile industry next week,” said Mr. He Shiyou, Executive Vice President and Head of the Terminals Division at ZTE. The devices will be officially unveiled in a press conference at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Monday 27th February at 10:30 CET. The new devices, together with a comprehensive portfolio of ZTE terminals, will be on display at the ZTE booth in Hall 8, stand B145.
