ZTE Grand X Plus Now Available… Designed In Canada And Available On Fido

Here’s something that you don’t hear every day. A global phone manufacturer designs a phone in Canada. But before I get to that part, let me talk about the ZTE Grand X Plus and its key features:

  • 5.0” HD display and Dolby sound – Enjoy an extraordinary watching and listening experience. Photos and videos will look sharp and vivid in crisp 720p HD, and the Dolby audio chipset will make sure your music, movies and gaming sound crystal clear.
  • 8MP main camera – Take photos like a pro and record videos in 1080p HD with the 8MP rear camera and LED flash. Group Mode lets you choose each person’s best expression and combine them in one photo. And enjoy high quality selfies and video calls with a 2MP front camera.
  • Android 4.4 KitKat – Enjoy all the great features of Android and over a million apps, games, movies and more available on the Google Play store.
  • 4G LTE and 1.2 GHz Quad-Core Processor – The speedy Qualcomm quad-core processor and LTE network provide lightning-fast device response and browsing capability, and Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 1.0 lets you charge at lightning speeds too
  • 2300mAh battery – Power up the ZTE Grand X Plus with the quick-charge capabilities of the 2,300mAh battery that provides up to 8 hours of talk time and 300 hours of standby time.
  • More memory – 2 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal storage and microSDHC support for up to 32 GB

The biggest feature is that this phone was designed in Canada at the company’s recently opened Ottawa-based R&D Centre. Opened in June, the ZTE Canadian R&D Centre is the company’s 19th worldwide and their first in Canada. The team in Ottawa will focus on innovation, certification, mobile security, and hardware and IC design.

The ZTE Grand X Plus is available now in stores and online with Fido for $0 on a two-year Smart plan, $50 on a two-year Standard plan or $200 with no contract. I have requested one from ZTE and I’ll post a review as soon as I get it.
