Now ZTE trumps Samsung today at <a href=\"http:\/\/betanews.com\/topic\/mobile-world-congress\/\" >Mobile World Congress<\/a> by unveiling the Grand Memo  &#8212; a &#8220;phablet&#8221; with 5.7-inch screen. Smartphones continue to meld with tablets.<\/p>\n<p>The new ZTE model debuts with a nice set of specs:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/betanews.com\/2013\/01\/08\/qualcomm-unveils-the-snapdragon-800-and-600-processors-says-goodbye-to-s-series\/\" >Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor<\/a> with quad-core Krait CPU, extremely generous\u00a03200 mAh battery, 5.7-inch 720 x 1280 display, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, WiFi, 4G LTE, Bluetooth 4, a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, and rather standard 1MP front-facing camera. All of this is packaged in a very thin\u00a08.5 mm case.<\/p>\n<p>He Shiyou, ZTE EVP and head of the Mobile Devices Division, says that &#8220;high-definition screen makes it perfect for media and entertainment, but its uses reach far beyond that&#8221;. He adds that ZTE has &#8220;really tried to make this device fun for use at home, and practical for use in the office. By combining both of these factors, we have created a well-rounded large-screen handset that is suitable for any situation&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>If there is one knock on this device &#8212; aside from some users potentially balking at the size &#8212; it would be Android 4.1, despite the fact version 4.2 of Jelly Bean has been on the market since October of 2012.<\/p>\n<p>So what do you think of these new &#8220;phablets&#8221;? Is the screen too big, or is it just what you have been waiting for?<\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.betanews.com\/~ff\/bn?a=ApMxFDzNPgc:TREHpHSKhs8:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/bn?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.betanews.com\/~ff\/bn?a=ApMxFDzNPgc:TREHpHSKhs8:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/bn?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/bn\/~4\/ApMxFDzNPgc\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How big is too big for a phone?
