everyone I'm Jessica ball court from CNN here at CES 2014 in Las Vegas this is going to be your first look at the ZTE Sonata it is coming qao wireless you don't know when or for how much vedeo is a prepaid network so you're going to be buying an off-contract for the full retail amount the sonata is a very thick heavy chunker of a device it comes in white with silver accents along either side and a little bit on the front so it does have a little bit of style but it's really not meant for up market this is definitely an entry-level phone it's got a 4-inch display that's pretty small by today's standards luckily it is 720p HD however which is a pretty high resolution for this size screen it's running Android 4.1 jelly bean so that's a couple of versions behind but that's something that you can expect for an entry-level phones on top of that ZTE has its my favor UI which is a custom interface you can see evidence of that in areas like the lock screen for instance and other parts as you navigate through the phone there is no front-facing camera on the Sonata but you will have a 5 megapixel camera on the back with flash and 720p HD video there are only four gigabytes of storage on the sonata 4G but if you remove the back cover and the battery you will find a microSD card slot that will give you up to 32 gigabytes more the processor is a 1.2 gigahertz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 CPU we've got only four gigabytes of storage here with no expandable memory so this isn't a good option for people who want to store a lot of videos a lot of photos there was one gigabyte of RAM on here as well this is definitely a phone for people who are maybe using their first smartphone or who are going to be budget-conscious no pricing yet that is probably going to be pretty competitive i'm testing adult court for cnet you can catch all the rest of our CS news at CES cnet com you
