You may’ve heard that ZTE is working on a low-cost smartphone with big, 5-inch screen. While we still don’t know when such a device will be released in the west, we know it’s first heading to east, where one of China’s big three carriers will start selling it in the near future.
The ZTE U956 MT6589 has been caught in the wild, boasting a 5-inch 720p HD screen (not full HD), 8-megapixel camera on the back, while MediaTek MT6589 chip is providing the horse-power needed to run things smoothly. In addition, there’s also a TD-SCDMA radio inside, hinting us this bad boy will end-up in the portfolio of the world’s largest mobile operator, China Mobile.
When it comes to price, we’re hearing the U956 MT6589 will go for 1,499 yuan, which translates into some $240. We’ll let you know when we get an additional detail or two. Stay tuned in the meantime…

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
