ZTE Grand S II with Snapdragon 800 chipset launched in India

You missed Xiaomi Mi3, didn’t ya? Flash sales, registration for purchasing in sales day and all that stuff! But suddenly you got lucky, you registered and bam! Out of Stock!

Well if you are one of those poor fellows who wished that they would have owned a Snapdragon 800SoC powered but couldn’t, this is the exact opportunity for you.

ZTEGrandS II is launched in India at a price of Rs.13, 999.

The phone is available exclusively on Amazon.in at Rs.13, 999. The Chinese telecommunication Giant ZTE announced the phone for Indian launch in mid-November without any discussion about the selling price. After being announced at CES 2014, the phone went on sale in Chine for Rs.16, 375.

The ZTE Grand S II is powered by the powerful quad core 2.2GHz processor – Snapdragon 800 (MSM8674) chipset coupled with 2 GB of RAM. It runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (yea, it would have been more of a bliss if it came with KitKat).

ZTE GrandS II is a Single – SIM phone, with a massive 5.5 inch IPS LCD (1080 x 1920 pixels) screen with the pixel density of 401ppi. It comes with 16 GB of inbuilt storage which can be further expanded up to 32 GB via micro SD card.

The ZTE Grand S II feature a 13 mega pixel (4128 x 3096) rear autofocus camera with LED flash, having the ability to capture v1080p videos at 30fps. Front side include at 2 mega pixel camera.

The phone has a non-removable 3100mAh battery, and a bunch of sensors – accelerometer, gyro-meter, proximity sensor and compass.

Apart from the dated Android version, this phone wins quite several other parameter when compared with Xiaomi Mi3, keeping in mind about the similar price tag.

  1. Expandable storage choice: You need not to buy the 64 GB version of the phone, unlike Xiaomi Mi3 which left you poorer with only 16 GB inbuilt non-expandable storage.
  2. The phone is available at normal stock. Don’t worry about registrations, flash sales, invites and other options. Enjoy your purchase.
