ZTE Era

ZTE's got designs on the smartphone market in a big way, and its first major offensive of the year is the ZTE Era, a quad-core Tegra 3 running smartphone with a 4.3-inch qHD screen to boot. It's not a bad looking phone and it's certainly playing in the same end of the slim-phone pool as the HTC One X – in fact, at 7.8mm thin it's giving HTC's handset a good run for its money. We'll have lots more to say about the ZTE Era and its Mifavour UI later in our full hands on ZTE Era review, but for now feast your eyes on these lovely pictures we've snapped just for you.We don't love this bit of the phone (above) which seemed to have a lot of small parts that could potentially ping off and get lost. The build quality, such is ZTE's way, didn't seem to be brilliant but perhaps this means the costs will be kept down. Sadly, such is the way of things, the demo handset broke so we only have the chassis for you to examine for now - check back later for more.
