Being only available in a "Firefox orange" color, the ZTE Open has the following specifications:

  • CPU: 1 GHz Cortex-A5
  • Display: 3.5-inch with 480 x 320 resolution, one point touch with two point option (Gesture Captive)

  • Connectivity: 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1
  • Battery: 1,200 mAh

Additional features include GPS (with A-GPS), accelerometer and ambient light sensor.

This budget smartphone will be priced at only $79.99, unlocked and off contract. Orders via ZTE's eBay page should go live this Friday, so keep an eye on it - this product will only be sold online in the US and the UK. If you're looking for a backup phone for you or even a cheap yet attractive handset for your child, then ZTE Open is a great choice.
