ZTE launches Grand Memo 5.7-inch Handset

ZTE has launched the ZTE Grand Memo 5.7-inch handset running on Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processors.

The ZTE Grand Memo offers the ideal balance between the portability of a handset and the larger viewing and easier touch-interaction experience of a tablet. It features a 5.7-inch, high definition, 720x1280 display, and a powerful Qualcomm 800 processor with quad-core Krait CPUs and 2GB of RAM.

Combined with a 13 MP rear-facing camera, 1 MP front-facing camera and 1080 HD video playback, this gives users a smooth, high quality multimedia experience that is perfect for gaming and video.

The Grand Memo caters to those who are always on-the-go, with voice-response technology which allows users to answer calls safely while driving, and A-GPS and car-mode navigation system for high quality mapping and directions.

The handset comes with a HD version of ZTE's Mifavor user interface that is specially designed for smartphones, providing a simpler userexperience, and ZTE's Z Cloud service for the security and access-anywhere provided by cloud services. It also includes a 3200mAh battery for super-long standby time.

"The ZTE Grand Memo's large, high definition screen makes it perfect for media and entertainment, but its uses reach far beyond that," said He Shiyou, ZTE EVP and head of the Mobile Devices Division. "With ZTE's custom Mifavor UI, a powerful processor, and LTE connectivity, this device offers users a wide array of benefits that go well beyond the capabilities of the typical handset."

Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processors target premium mobile and computing devices and are designed to deliver outstanding overall user experience, expand the possibilities of seamless connected computing and enable brand new mobile experiences while maintaining industry-leading battery performance.

"Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms are at the heart of over 770 announced smartphones and tablets, and we are thrilled to work with ZTE to bring the Grand Memo to consumers," said Raj Talluri, senior vice president of product management at Qualcomm Technologies.

The Grand Memo is a slim 8.5mm, ensuring that its advanced performance is matched by its sleek appearance. The handset is combined with 16 GB storage memory and combined with high-speed LTE capabilities of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, integrated QualcommWCN3680802 11ac/.11n dual-band Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth solution for high-bandwidth communications, MHL and DLNA connectivity for mobile entertainment, the ZTE Grand Memo is perfectly suited for both personal and office use.

"We have really tried to make this device fun for use at home, and practical for use in the office. By combining both of these factors, we have created a well-rounded large-screen handset that is suitable for any situation," said He Shiyou, ZTE.
