Forget 3GB; 4GB of RAM already coming to smartphones?

Posted on March 28, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Right now, your top-of-the-line smartphone is going to max out at having 3GB of RAM. And really, despite a couple high-profile Androids launching with such expansive memory at their disposal, the adoption of 3GB has been incredibly slow – far slower than we saw 2GB catch on. Is that because we don’t really need 3GB of RAM just yet? Well, a little thing like that never stopped the tide of progress, and there’s a chance that the first 4GB RAM smartphone could be just around the corner. We’ve been thinking about 4GB of RAM in smartphones since last year. At first, it ...

Is ZTE falling into the same trap as its competition once did?

Posted on February 27, 2014 by Taylor Martin

If you asked me last year if I would have ever considered using a ZTE smartphone as my daily driver, I probably would have chuckled, realized you might actually be serious, then answered with a solid, “No.” It’s not that ZTE is a bad manufacturer. But it has never been known for high-end flagship smartphones, something I’m admittedly a sucker for. Instead, ZTE is globally known for its prepaid and budget smartphone offerings. In fact, as recent as one year ago, ZTE was in a close fight for the position as third largest smartphone manufacturer in the world. It has

Three reasons to be excited for the coming ZTE smartphone onslaught

Posted on January 14, 2014 by Michael Fisher

If you’d told me a year ago that one of my key takeaways from CES 2014 would be a renewed interest in ZTE smartphone developments, I’d have told you to “go home, you’re drunk” (which would have been a pretty timely reference back then). Nonetheless, it’s true: of the many impressive sights we beheld at this year’s International CES, the wares showcased by ZTE were high on my list – and if you’re my kind of mobile geek, they ...

Pocketnow Weekly 078: CES 2014 wrap-up – the best and worst from Vegas

Posted on January 11, 2014 by Michael Fisher

Horrible sickness. Missed flights. Broken promises from major airlines. Desert air-induced hacking. A too-late arrival followed by a too-early departure. That’s just a partial list of the challenges faced by the four-man three-man Pocketnow team at 2014′s International CES in Vegas, easily one of the most difficult trade shows we’ve ever done. But while the road was rough, the payoff was (mostly) worth it: in exchange for our hardships, we were among the first to spend time with some of the world’s newest and hottest mobile gadgetry, and we did the best we could to ...

Posted on January 7, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

ZTE’s CES announcements came last week, and while that means there’s less for us to be surprised by at the show now that we’re there, we’re also finally able to check out its new hardware in the flesh. The company had news of a number of devices to share, but one of the handsets we’ve heard the most about has been the Grand S II. ZTE followed-up yesterday on its initial announcement to share a little more about the phone’s ...

ZTE reveals CES spread: phones, phablets, and a smartwatch

Posted on January 3, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

ZTE is one of those manufacturers that sees quite strong sales on a global level, but fails to really assert itself in our minds as a smartphone heavyweight. Still, we’ve been paying more attention to it lately, going hands-on with the Nubia 5, and hearing about some of the rumored next steps for the company, like its own smartwatch. With CES at the front of everyone’s minds, companies are getting early starts on announcing their new ...
