SlideShow: ZTE Grand S LTE, the 'thinnest smartphone' at CES 2013

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Las Vegas: If ZTE isn't on your list of  smartphone handset makers to watch, it should be. Judging from their flagship smartphone released here at CES, the company knows how to attract new buyers. The ZTE Grand S Android smartphone has a large 5-inch (1920×1080) display is razor-thin at around 6.9mm, and has a 1.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, 16GB of storage, 2GB of RAM and as the name implies it is 4G-

LTE enabled for markets that support it. Being a China-first device, this will do battle in Asia early 2013 where it will likely try and snipe at Samsung and emerging rival Huawei's Phablet smartphones. Will it come to Canada? Only time will tell.
