NVIDIA and ZTE have officially unveiled the ZTE Mimosa X, the first phone with a Tegra2 processor and Icera modem. NVIDIA acquired Icera in mid-2011, and we've been expecting an offering from someone with the full set of NVIDIA innards, and today we finally get to see one, or at least a picture. If you refer to an old Tegra roadmap, you'll notice that Tegra and Icera devices weren't scheduled to ship until 2013, but we're awfully glad to see them a bit early, especially when they're running Android.
We're pretty familiar with the Tegra 2 chip, and the wonders it can do with proper software. On paper it's not the fastest beast out of the gate, but when coupled with applications designed for NVIDIA-specific multimedia and processor extensions, no other smartphone gaming platform can hold a candle to it. Beyond games, the Tegra 2 CPU offers a great high-end experience for both tablets and smartphones alike. I'm certainly a fan.
With the introduction of the Icera 450 soft modem, ZTE can introduce the same high-end performance we've grown accustomed to, and offer it with better power management, and at a more affordable price point. The Icera 450 in the Mimosa X (best name ever) brings the following to the table:
- Multiband HSPA+ Cat 18 (28Mbs)
- HSUPA Cat 6 (5.7Mbs), Cat 7 (11 Mbs) upgradeable
- Quad-band GPRS/EDGE
- Custom RIL for the Android OS
- MIPI high-speed interface to the application processor
- Major cost savings due to integrated baseband and RF chips
- IceClear interference-cancelation technology to improve cell performance
The listed specifications for the Mimosa X are as follows:
- Tegra 2 dual-core CPU with GeForce GPU
- Ice Cream Sandwich
- 4.3-inch qHD display (960 x 540)
- 5MP rear camera, front camera
- 4 GB storage, expandable to 32GB via SDcard slot
- A2DP Bluetooth
- Dolby audio
- DLNA video
- Dual microphones
- Built-in gyroscope
It certainly sounds like another great Android phone, and one we're excited to have a look at during Mobile World Congress. Expect it to be released during the second quarter of this year. The full press release is after the break.
