ZTE is the latest mobile maker to unleash its new wares at Mobile World Congress. The ZTE Skate is another Android competitor, packing in Gingerbread, as well as some standard smartphone savviness to ensure it can kick it with the big boys. Keep reading for all the details.

The ZTE Skate crams in the usual spec sheet we’ve come to expect from the very best Android cells, with Wi-Fi, HSDPA, GPS and Bluetooth. There’s an 800MHz processor, which while fast, isn’t quite up to snuff with the 1GHz and dual core efforts on show in Barcelona this week.

Screen-wise, the ZTE Skate touts a 4.3-inch number, which will come in more than a little handy when framing pics using the 5 megapixel camera. We’ve got high hopes for this new ZTE phone, especially as they made the ace Orange San Francisco, one of our highest ranked mobiles of 2010.

The ZTE Skate is due to hit shelves in May this year. Tell us what you think of it down in the comments section.

    It will be interesting to see what pricepoint this handset enters.

    Does anyone know someone at Orange who might be able to tell us if they're picking this handset up? Interested, as I have recently managed to shatter the glass on my ZTE Blade screen. :(

      We'll ask their press office James, but we doubt they'll have anything to say until their own good time. You're right though, since the Orange San Francisco, ZTE are definitely ones to watch.

          Orange came back to us – no comment we're afraid!

    keeping my eye on this, this could replace the ZTE Blade / San francisco as the budget android handset of choice

    • bensillis

      Agreed – we'll be watching out for this one, could be another cracker.
