ZTE has unveiled a powerful Ice Cream Sandwich phone complete with Tegra 2 dual-core chipset that marks the phone as the manufacturer's 2012 flagship device.

Sporting a 4.3-inch screen, the ZTE Grand X has a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels and can display up to 16 million colours. Packing a powerful Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core processor, ZTE is continuing its Android association, loading the Grand X with Ice Cream Sandwich. 

The ZTE Grand X measures in at 127 x 64.6 x 9.9mm while it tips the scales at 110g. Other notable features include a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash found on the back of the handset and a 0.3-megapixel front-facing snapper for video calls. 

With Dolby Mobile technology on board, the ZTE Grand X promises a good audio experience, though with just 4GB of storage available, if you’re serious about using the device as a media hub you may want to invest in a microSD card (up to 32GB). 

The ZTE Grand X will be available through Phones 4u and Virgin Media stores from early August with the latter offering it for free from as little as £24 a month, or even £19 if you're an existing Virgin Media customer.
