First preview of ZTE Skate talks 4.3-inch screen, 250 euro price

The first preview of the ZTE Skate is out – the phone is slated to be the successor of extremely popular Blade and offers some enticing specs. The Skate runs vanilla Android 2.3 Gingerbread and packs a 4.3” WVGA hscreen.
That’s quite an increase from the 3.5” of the Blade, but that seems to be the direction that the high-end droids are headed in. The rumored price for the ZTE Skate is between €200 and €300, with the golden mean of €250 being cited as the most likely price point.<--!more-->

Here’s what that kind of cash would net you – an 800MHz CPU, 512MB RAM, a 5MP camera and a 1,400mAh battery, which should be good for a couple of days of usage. The ZTE Skate also packs the latest phone-centric Android version and the big 4.3” WVGA screen was reportedly pretty good as was the build quality.
There’s no info on when the ZTE Skate will be available.
