ZTE & Virgin Mobile announce Kis

ZTE & Virgin Mobile have teamed up to announce a new budget friendly smartphone, the Kis. The Kis is going to retail for only £49.99 on PAYG and for that price offers some relatively good specs. I mean compare this to a Galaxy Ace which is about £110 currently and you'll know what I mean. 

Now for the specs, the Kis offers up a 3.5-inch HVGA (320x480) display, powered by a single core 800MHz processor with 256MB of RAM. The device only has one camera, a 3.15MP rear-facing camera with auto focus. The device has 512MB of internal storage that can be expanded using a MicroSD card slot (up to 32GB). The device runs on Android 2.3 and won't get Android 4.0 due to hardware compatibility. Battery capacity is a cool 1400mAh which should keep the phone running for a couple of days depending on usage.

Compared to Motorola's MotoSmart which was just revealed yesterday, this device has the upper edge when it comes to market potential due to it's low price. Another thing to note is that if you buy this phone, you get 1GB of Internet for every month for a year.
