ZTE Racer Android Interface Touch Phone

August 26, 2010 | Mobile Phone | Comments Off

ZTE has not added its own settings in the software so that you get the plain vanilla Android interface. However, since the standard interface is so good, and some manufacturers of mud it by adding unnecessary bells and whistles, we do not think it’s an issue at all. Besides, if you want to brighten up a bit, you can always add widgets and launchers as free Launch Pro from the Android Market. And ZTE has at least allowed some of the snazzier user interface elements available in V2.1, such as carpets 3D effect in the main menu.

It is not just the look that has suffered. reducing costs ZTE is also evident on the screen. It’s a resistive screen with a low resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and it has obviously not the color palette of high-end smartphones. Consequently, they tend to look more confused than most smartphone screens, text and images Jaggy is not the dynamic you’d expect on high-end devices.

In addition, if the viewing angle is fine when you have before you in portrait mode when you turn it on its side to watch a widescreen video, you notice that you have to tip the right to maintain uniform brightness. For some reason, many mobile phone manufacturers have been reluctant to use version 2.1 of Android phones on their budget. LG uses the GT540 V1.6 Optimus and Acer went to V1.5 even on the E110. Fortunately, ZTE has not fallen into this trap because it has substantially Racer kitted with the new V2.1 software.

This release brings a number of advantages, including support for Exchange email, web browser updates, user interface and sexier than a bump in the overall performance. However, despite its resistive screen works surprisingly well when it comes to touch input. ZTE has said he put much effort into the software used to record and touch input has certainly borne fruit. The screen gives the impression of being more responsive and more accurate than other resistive screens, we have used. However, it does not support multi-touch so you can not pinch to zoom in the browser or image viewer.

The price of low-end phones Android has stopped falling, but the rider from Chinese manufacturer ZTE sets a new benchmark. Available from only three for £ 109.99 on Pay As As you go with £ 10 top-up included in the price, the Racer is by far the cheapest Android handset we’ve seen. As any bargain hunter knows, there are very poor quality and cheap and gay, so just what camp did fall Racer?

Some devices Management budgetary look quite swish, but unfortunately, the Racer is not one of them as you can tell right away just to watch it a combined budget. This is mainly due to the poor, the silver paint used on the tape along the edge of the phone, but also partly because the battery cover is not quite as good against the battery can it should be. However, the finish rubberized plastic on the back and the bright part around the screen gives a little punch to the otherwise flat design.
