ZTE Skate Acqua Dual-Core Android Smartphone

Review

People who are looking for a good android phone and don’t have much high price to spend on then consider buyingZTE Skate Acqua Mobile. ZTE launched this high end android phone incorporating some remarkable features in affordable price range.

Design & Display

Skate Acqua Mobile from ZTE on the first look appears similar to its brother ZTE Kis. With the dimensions of 120 x 64 x 10.9mm and weight of just 130g, this ZTE mobile isn’t going to get included in the skinny smartphones league but it won’t go to offend with its thickness.

The build of the phone is much like a higher end mobile from ZTE with a typical textured back panel and curved edges which allows ease of grip. The metallic edging looks premium but the proportionate thickness at the top and bottom makes the screen appear little smaller.

The phone features 4 inch TFT screen with the capacitive touch supporting 56k colors and screen determination of 400 x 800 pixels. The 4 inch display might appear bigger and reasonably sharper than ZTE Kis – something just perfectly suitable for your net surfing.

Performance

The Skate acqua Mobile is packed with latest version of android which is specifically accustomed to mobile usage. The ICS OS offers intuitive UI maneuvers to the users including easy to use features and optimized icons.

The phone is powered by Cortex A5 processor which clocks at impressive 1GHz on Qualcomm Snapdragon Chipset. The phone is accompanied with 512MB RAM which processes your multitasking and heavy application running in faster speed.

ZTE Skate Acqua Mobile is packed with 4GB internal storage which lets you store your favorite android applications and multimedia files without bothering about the space. You can insert an external Memory card for expanding the storage up to 32GB.

Camera

The mobile is incorporated with 5 Megapixel rear camera which can capture the image quality of 2592 x 1944 pixels. The camera is accompanied with autofocus and LED flash for enhancing the image quality in low light conditions. You can also make use of Geo-tagging for labeling your images at various locations.

The rear camera can boast video quality of 720 pixels but disappointingly there’s no front camera for enabling video calling using its 3G network.
