ZTE is coming right out and saying it with their latest smartphone. If you want the latest Intel Atom chip for mobile, you’re going to have to resign yourself to being a geek. Or having a GEEK, anyway. Yes, the ZTE GEEK is coming as a 5-inch option with 720p display, 8MP camera with 1MP front-facer, 8GB internal storage, and a 2,300mAh battery. But the marquee spec of the Android 4.2 handset is the Intel Atom Z2580.
The newest chip from Intel, the Z2580 is manufactured on a 32nm process and offers a 2GHz clock speed. Compared to Clover Trail+, the previous generation of Intel chips for mobile, its twice as fast for computing and offers three time the graphics processing. This is all on top of reduced drain on the battery.
The only problem with the GEEK, is that like many ZTE phone, it will likely see a release elsewhere in the world and quietly fade into the background. ZTE will be showing off the GEEK along with the Intel-powered Grand X IN at IDF in Beijing.
