Preview: A dual-core Android phone with a 4.3in screen, all for £190.
Expert review by : Jon Mundy (techradar.com)
ZTE impresses with a dual-core stock Android 4.0 device for the masses
Cheap ; Pure Android 4.0 ; Dual-core Tegra 2 ; Fast browser
Plastic feel ; Low quality screen ; Average media ; Nexus clone
ZTE has big ambitions to join the likes of HTC and Samsung at the top of the Android pile, and the ZTE Grand X is the company's biggest statement of intent yet.

You might not have heard of ZTE - its full name is Zhongxing Telecommunication Equipment - but like so many companies such as Ericsson and Huawei, ZTE was originally a telecommunications equipment supplier, but like the other companies it's also had...
Feels sturdy, barebones Android, Dolby Mobile
Touchscreen is not great, quite a dull phone, a bit too expensive
ZTE gets a lot of credit from us for providing a simple, barebones version of Android. Many users like this, and unlike early versions of the mobile OS, in its default flavour, it's pretty much feature-complete.

The ZTE Grand X is the Chinese company's flagship own-brand Google Android phone, and taking Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Expert review by : Basil Kronfli (recombu.com)
£200 can get you a spectacular 16GB Google Nexus 7 by Asus. £200 can also get you a pint sized yet potent Sony Xperia U or Intel's first foray into smartphones, the Orange San Diego. £200 is clearly…
Great gaming experience ; Sharp screen ; Relatively stock Android
Build feels hollow ; Camera under-performs ; Occasional stability issues
Expert review by : Techworld (techworld.com)
ZTE's Grand X delivers well on some levels. The combination of good specifications for less than £200 with unspoilt Android 4.0 makes it an attractive package. It will certainly play games and suits video content too. However, you should take into...

The ZTE Grand X is a brand-new Android smartphone from the upcoming Chinese mobile maker. Typically the company has been known for its low rent handsets which cost next to nothing but this marks the start of a new era for the company in the West. The...
While we like what ZTE is trying to do with the Grand X it doesn't quite represent value for money. If you want the stock Android experience then you should go with Samsung Galaxy Nexus instead: it costs around the same now but has a larger screen and...

We review the ZTE Grand X, a Tegra 2 powered dual core Android Ice Cream Sandwich handset
Well built,Good display,Fast performance,Android Ice Cream Sandwich, No interface overlay
Some bugs, Poor camera, Battery drains quickly, Temperamental touch keyboard, Low onboard memory
Pretty good for the price and nice to see untouched Android 4.0
Expert review by (3g.co.uk)
The ZTE Grand X is an Android 4.0 smartphone at a great price that
Great value, responsive display, low price for an Android Ice Cream Sandwich handset, dual-core processor for gamers
Disappointing battery life, mediocre snapper, low visibility in direct sunlight
Expert review by : Carly Page (theinquirer.net)
With its Tegra 2 chip and games store, the Grand X aims to pick up where the Xperia Play left off
Vibrant screen, runs stock Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, good battery life
Casing feels cheap, camera is average
It might not have got us very excited, but the ZTE Grand X is a decent device considering its specifications. Although less than half the price of its high-end rivals, the Grand X has Google's up-to-date Android 4.0 ICS operating system along with a...
