what are the unique aspects of this new flagship Smartphone?
Appearance
ZTE Skate was inspired by a skateboard. Although it packs in a big 4.3-inch screen, it is a
slimline phone that weighs only 120g and is only 11.3mm thick. In contrast to the majority of
flagship with a smooth, rounded shape, ZTE Skate shows off sharp and masculine lines, making it
look like a “tough guy”. The back cover is made from plastic processed by atomization and
features the Android mascot. With edges and corners and a matte back cover, ZTE Skate can b
comfortably gripped and will not slip from the hand.
Standard Android phones have four touch keys,
but ZTE Skate has three physical keys. Although it
may feel a little uncomfortable at first, you can
feel its convenience when you get familiar with it.
The device is equipped with a 5 megapixel
camera that sorts a flash and auto-focus. While it
may not have the higher 8 megapixel or even 10
megapixel camera of other flagship phones, for
the relatively lower price, ZTE Skate’s camera still
more than caters for the shooting needs of the
average user.
Features
ZTE Skate is powered by an 800 MHZ processor with a Qualcomm MSM7227T chipset and an
Adreno 200 graphics processor (41 million triangles/sec) . With these features, it can easily “ eat

has a resolution of 480*800 pixels, and the display performance is good.

optimal for smoothly playing mobile games like “Angry Birds” or “Tiny Wings”
