Engadget - If this is the "advanced gaming smartphone" that ZTE teased a few days ago, then we can't help but feel a little miffed. It'd be fairer to describe the Grand X as the most advanced phone in ZTE's growing budget line-up, and if you look at it from that perspective then it's rather more impressive.
Pocket-Lint: The new ZTE Grand X is the first genuinely powerful phone we have seen from the traditionally budget manufacturer. Priced at £189 handset only, or £32 a month from Virgin media, it is an affordable way of getting hold of Ice Cream Sandwich.
TechRadar - Those that wonder where the Mimosa X from MWC earlier this year went – well, it's now the Grand X.
It's getting pretty long in the tooth, even at launch, but still packs a decent Nvidia Tegra 2 dual core processor and a large 4-inch screen – all for just £189.99. But is it worth the cash even at the budget price bracket?
