ZTE Grand Memo

A 5.7-inch screen puts the ZTE Grand Memo in phablet territory, and it's backed by hardware that was genuinely high-end for its time. The Snapdragon 800 chipset, paired with a quad-core 1.5GHz Krait 400 processor and Adreno 330 graphics, gives it more muscle than most phones at this price point usually get. 2GB of RAM and 16GB storage round things out, with microSD support up to 32GB if you need more space.

On the camera side there's a 13MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, capable of 1080p video at 30fps, plus a 1MP front camera for basic selfies and video calls. The 3200mAh battery is sizeable for a device this generation, which should help offset the demands of that large display. It runs Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean out of the box and supports LTE, so data speeds aren't a weak point.

ZTE Grand Memo price in Malaysia starts from RM789. It comes in a single Black colour option, and connectivity extras like dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and A-GPS are all present.
