The
new ZTE Grand S3 has finally been unveiled at the MWC 2015. Don’t mistake this
for an upgraded version of Samsung Galaxy Grand 2. It’s a completely different
delight.
The best part
of the Grand S3 smartphone is its eye-based biometric scanning from EyeVerify.
The company sates that the tool utilizes "vein arrangements in the human
eye" to unlock the device.The company plans to include this eye-scanning
tool in future Grand series smartphones, as well as to integrate it with its mobile
payment services and other applications.
ZTE Grand S3: Design
and Display
The
design of this phone doesn’t stand out as such the phone has a rather plain
feel to it. The display has a 5.5 inch screen and is FHD capacitive. It has a resolution
of 1080x1920 pixels which is good
enough for the price range.
ZTE Grand S3: Camera Features
The
cameras of this device are truly stunning and are extremely powerful as well.It
sports a 16MP rear camera which is a powerful camera and can take great
pictures. The front camera of the phone is 8MP and is sure to delight selfie
lovers or video call lovers.
ZTE Grand S3:
Operating System
The
Grand S3 is going to run the Android 4.4 KitKat. Considering that all major
phones now provide Android Lollipop on their devices we are a bit disappointed.
But we believe that the company has made this decision as it considers Android Lollipop
to be a bit unstable right now.
ZTE Grand S3:
Processor and Speed
The
processor and hardware of this smartphone is truly remarkable. The Grand S3 has
a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core chipset. It runs at 2.5 Ghz and supported
by a 3GB RAM. This will ensure a lag free and delightful experience.
ZTE Grand S3:
Battery and Storage
The
battery has definitely improved as compared to its predecessors. The phone will
be having a 3,100 mAh battery. The battery is a non-removable one. Considering
the specs of the phone, it will get through a day and half with normal usage. The
phone has 16 GB internal storage and can be expanded upto 64GB.

necessity and this is the first step to creating an ultimate secure phone.
Conclusion
The ZTE Grand S3 is available for purchase online in China. It is priced at
CNY 2,999 (INR. 29,500 approx). Unluckily, there is no news on global release
