ZTE Grand S is now official, packs a 5" 1080p screen in a 6.9mm shell

Just as expected, ZTE has officially announced its 5" flagship smartphone, the Grand S at the CES.

Rocking a 1080p, 5" screen, the ZTE Grand S boast a thin waistline of just 6.9mm making it the thinnest of the 5" smartphones. Under the hood, the ZTE Grand S packs an 1.7GHz S4 Pro quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM.

Just as expected, the Grand S runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and features the usual array of connectivity options like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and 4G LTE. The main camera is a 13MP unit with LED flash while at the front there"s a 2MP snapper.

Powering the whole thing is a 1,780mAh battery, which is non-removable and doesn"t sound like much, but considering the slim profile of the smartphone is probably the best we could expect. Here"s hoping the battery life isn"t bad enough to ruin the whole experience.

The Grand S also has a microSD card slot to expand the 16GB of on-board storage. Dolby Digital Sound enhancements aim to provide the best possible sonic experience.

Expect the ZTE Grand S to hit China in the first quarter of this year with the US to follow suit shortly after. Unfortunately, ZTE hasn"t confirmed the Grand S pricing yet.
