ZTE appears to be working on its umpteenth high-end smartphone in the form of the P945.
Details and a leaked image of the P945 surfaced on the reliable Evleaks Twitter account, who has revealed official press shots for several unannounced devices in the past.
The P945 will sport a 5.7-inch 720p display, powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, as well as boasting an 8-megapixel camera and 3000 mAh battery.
Within the image, China Mobile's logo is engraved on the rear of the handset, inevitably confirming an initial China launch, which is expected to be sometime during the second quarter of 2013. A global launch of the device should be confirmed during CES.
The Chinese smartphone manufacturer, known for its low-end, budget handsets, has reiterated its investment in the U.S. market on several occasions.
ZTE recently announced the 5-inch, quad-core Zubia Z5, as well as its high-end Grand S and the 5-inch U887 smartphone.

soidier37 I'm actually a bit surprised they didn't opt for a 1080p screen, considering the size of the device.Reply -
Uberragen21 It's not a phone, it's a mini tablet you can use to make calls. Sorry, but even a 5" screen is starting to get too big for most people, let alone a 5.7". Mine is perfect at 4.3", but I'd be willing to go as large as 4.8". And it's not the hands that are the issue, rather the carrying around. I use a hip holster to hold my phone, but there are times I want to pocket it, which is not convenient with such a large phone.Reply -
Hpnotiq I'm rocking a Note II as well, and IDK why people piss their pants about the size of it. I don't even have that large of hands - or wear gang banger jeans. I'm just not a complete imbecile who finds reasons to complain about a slightly larger device.Reply -

halcyon ^ Indeed. I am an Apple fan (yet when it comes to phones and tablets I'm an Android type of guy). Occasionally I troll. ...and, yeah, I've been known to be sarcastic now and then.Reply
