Spec heavy and lightly priced, the ZTE Grand S Pro is one to keep an eye on next time you’re looking for a solid performer. If you’re not interested in a contracted price ZTE tells us the Grand S Pro will be a mere $249.99 off contract. That’s pretty special, considering the spec sheet.
ZTE has built a great reputation as an OEM, positioning themselves among the top manufacturers of mobile device in the world. Whether or not they can make an impact in a crowded US market remains to be seen, but devices like this should help.
