The Chinese producer ZTE was once the key rabbit behind many network-branded cellular phones (Orange’s San Francisco, T-Mobile’s Appreciation – that’s them) but is now going into the highlight in its own right, expecting to replicate the achievements of HTC. Following a variety of cheapish Android OS powered devices, the new ZTE Grand X is a step up to the top, with a dual-core processor, 5 megapixel camera and running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich directly out of the box.

First though, the covering. It’s a reasonable, if unspectacular looking device with a distinctive nasty returning and almost all of the top side taken up by its 4.3 inch display. With a resolution of 960×540 it provides images and videos that are distinct and clear, but not quite as vivid as you’ll see on some devices with AMOLED screens. It’s not as delicate as the best either – nothing terrible, but be ready for the periodic dual media to get it to do your firms. There’s a Dolby Mobile Audio handling on panel though, which allows you to listen music when you’re not using the rather inexpensive provided headsets.
With Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, ZTE Grand X technically has almost the latest OS version. ZTE doesn’t appear to have done anything to the OS either, so there’s no customized icons or symbols, just the search engine is unique. Nothing incorrect with that of course, and theoretically it should be a little bit quicker, and an official update to the latest OS version 4.1 Jelly Bean is likely to come soon.

The debut of the Samsung Galaxy S III brought quite a few surprises, one of which was the fact, that Samsung’s flagship device is once again using a PenTile display, despite the rumors, that it wouldn’t. From many this was received as bad news, but there is actually quite a good reason for the Korean company to have chosen this technology over RGB. This information is coming from an interview with a Samsung employee at the CTIA Wireless event. According to him, despite the many advantages of the AMOLED displays (such as the wider viewing-angles, high contrast and stunning saturation) , they also have one serious disadvantage – they lose their qualities over time.
According to Samsung, this happens faster with blue pixels than with red or green ones, which is also the reason why PenTile displays should last longer – they feature more green pixels and less red and blue ones. If you’re having trouble understanding why that is, here’s a more detailed explanation: the pixel layout in the display, used in the S3, is RGRB (red – green-red-blue) . When compared to the pixel layout in RGB displays (red-green-blue) one can clearly see, that the red pixels in the first case are exactly twice as much as those in the second one.
