Mobile World Congress may not be kicking off for another week, but it seems that ZTE just couldn't wait until then to take the wraps off of some of its new Android smartphones. This morning ZTE announced the PF200 and the N910, both of which are powered by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. In addition to Google's latest dessert, the PF200 (above) packs a 4.3-inch qHD (960x540) touchscreen, 8-megapixel shooter, 1080p front-facing shooter, NFC and what ZTE says is support for "all the main LTE, UMTS and GSM spectrums." ZTE's announcement doesn't come straight out and say what kind of processor each phone is packing, saying only that they have "1.2GHz and 1.5GHz chipsets."
Next up is the N910, which features an 800x480 display of an unknown size. It's also got a 5-megapixel camera, 1080p front-facing camera and radios that ZTE says will "work across LTE FDD, CDMA and EVDO spectrums." You can find an image of the N910 below.
Sounds like a decent pair of Android handsets. Obviously there are still a few details that ZTE has yet to spill, like when the PF200 and N910 will be released and if they'll be coming to U.S. shores, but it's good to see the company prepping some phones that'll pack Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box. ZTE says that the two devices will be shown at MWC later this month, so we'll update you with more information on them when we get it. The press release announcing the two phones is available for your perusal down below.
