ZTE is may soon be the world's first smartphone maker to pack 4GB RAM in a smartphone if the Chinese tech giant confirms the Grand S II's listing on TENAA.
ZTE, one of the biggest smartphone makers, will soon be making a big splash in the market with its Grand S II smartphone that was launched at this year's Consumer Electronics Show. The smartphone's presence at the event was suppressed by big players, but the company will have its share of limelight if the listing for its flagship smartphone on TENAA, a Chinese regulator, is confirmed. Most details of the smartphone are impressive, but the one which stands out is the 4GB RAM.
Smartphones with 2GB RAM space are common in high-end devices, ones with 3GB RAM are looked at with greater value. While most companies are slowly increasing the RAM size to 3GB, as seen in Samsung Galaxy Note 3, ZTE will make a jump directly to 4GB with its new smartphone. Other companies such as Samsung and SK Hynix are readying modules for 4GB RAM. In December last year, Samsung announced the industry's first 8 gigabit, low power DDR4 memory chip that can make room for 4GB RAM in smartphones. Several reports speculated that the Galaxy S5 to will carry the upgraded RAM, but the new technology will be appearing only in future handsets.
ZTE did not confirm the authenticity of the listing on TENAA, but a spot on the Chinese regulator in itself holds significant value. If confirmed, ZTE will become the world's first smartphone company to pack monstrous 4GB space in a smartphone, even before Samsung.
Other technical specifications of the Grand S II are a 5.5-inch 1080p display and a 2.3GHz quad-core processor with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. The smartphone will also pack 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with Full HD recording and 2-megapixel front shooter for video-calling and selfies. The device comes with 4G LTE support and packs a non-removable 3,000 mAh battery, according to GforGames.
