ZTE Grand S2: Battery and Verdict

While we obviously couldn't test out the Grand S2's battery life in the short time we had with it, the device features a large 2,500mAh cell.

ZTE Grand S2, once hit the market next week, will seriously give tough competition to an array of handsets, powered by Google's Android mobile OS. Both the screen size and resolution impressed us. And the device's hardware is not bad at all.

At the same time, the phone is running on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, which we think should be upgraded to the latest Android 4.4 Kitkat as early as possible. ZTE says the device will hit Indian market on Monday via Amazon. The retail price has been guarded secret just yet. The ZTE Grand S2 could be priced anywhere between Rs. 14,999 and Rs. 16,999.
