ZTE Iconic Phablet review: hands-on

Go ahead, call 2014 the entire year from the phablet. ZTE is unquestionably ongoing to test out screens spanning 5.5 inches or bigger, starting the five.7-inch ZTE Iconic Phablet at CES 2014.


Now, it might appear just a little presumptuous to your personal phablet “iconic,” particularly when the phone under consideration is really a midrange device such as this. The iconic certainly looks nice. Actually, it’s probably the most premium-searching mobile phones we have seen from ZTE.

A good slab of aluminum (yes, real aluminum) comprises the majority of the back panel, with matte plastic ribs across the bottom and top. The metal adds heft and some premium looks. It is really an embedded device, meaning the three,200mAh battery is not being released. It will, however, have wireless charging.


The Five.7-inch screen surrenders lots of space for media consumption, however the 720p HD resolution rather than a 1080p HD resolution certainly marks this phone as middle-of-the-road rather than like a high-finish device. You have to the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating-system, that is already several steps behind Android 4.4 KitKat. It is not obvious if the phone can get upgrading.

ZTE’s MiFavor UI rides atop Android, mostly keeping taken care of aside from a couple of touches in some places. The first is the lock screen, which fans out whenever you pinch to exhibit a range of shortcut opens. You lengthy-press to unlock the telephone towards the desltop.


The Iconic Phablet will also support split screen, similar to the new ZTE Grand S II, which ZTE also introduced at CES now. Opening the applications is a straightforward drag-and-drop from the floating window. ZTE states that you could launch just about any third-party application within the split-screen mode, a very nice touch that Samsung, for example, does not allow in the own items.

To the characteristics, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera captures 1080p HD video, accompanied with a 1-megapixel camera around the front. I did not get a opportunity to shoot video, aside from going for a grainy, dark photo of myself inside a hideously-lit conference room.


An LTE-enabled smartphone, the Legendary also runs off single.2GHz dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor. Space for storage is around the more compact side, only 8GB, however, you can expand it by yet another 64GB with the sd card slot.

We do not have prices or availability particulars yet, but we all do realize that the Iconic Phablet can come towards the US sooner or later, likely a less expensive option to other phablets. This midrange area is growing, though, so ZTE may have its work eliminate for this.
