hi this is jeff with the verge and today we're taking a look at the ZTE grand s its ZTE s new flagship phone for 2013 and its biggest claim to fame is the 5-inch 1080p screen so just like other 5-inch 1080p phones that are on the market it's very big very bright it doesn't feel too huge in your hand but I mean you can obviously tell that it's a 5-inch screen the colors look really nice it's very sharp very bright viewing angles are very nice as well it packs inside a 1.5 gigahertz quad-core s4 pro so a very fast chip you can tell just scrolling around opening closing apps certainly feels snappy otherwise you've got an LTE radio inside we've got we've got two gigabytes of RAM and yeah it's running Android 4.1 under the hood so latest Android software although it's very heavily skinned doesn't really look much like jelly bean at all in particular we've got this really weird back button here so you can position this wherever you want on the screen it really is just another back button so you can go back to the previous it's a bad example see how we can go back to the home screen and you can actually press and drag it out to expand it to a full set of buttons we have capacitive buttons along the bottom as well and yeah the materials it's made out of a polycarbonate it's a unibody design it doesn't feel too bad it's matt so it doesn't attract fingerprints too much and well it feels a little bit light it doesn't feel overly cheap we've got a volume rocker on the right hand side at the sleep/wake button up top 3.5 millimeter headphone jack 16 gigabytes of storage inside expandable with microSD and yeah 13 megapixel camera so very high resolution shoots 1080p video as well and yeah there really isn't too much more to say about it the software is a little quirky but yeah there was a decent phone five inches 1080p 2013 here it is ZTE grandes you
