ZTE today announced its first smartphone that will use Intel-made mobile processors. The Grand X IN will launch with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and is powered by the 1.6GHz single-core Intel Atom Z2460 processor. Other features of the device include a 4.3-inch qHD display, 8-megapixel main camera, VGA user-facing camera, 1GB of RAM, NFC, 16GB of internal storage, plus support for microSD cards. The ZTE Grand X IN is expected to reach Europe in September, but the company hasn't said anything about U.S. availability. ZTE claims it will launched "a number" of other Intel-based smartphones in the coming 12 to 18 months.
