Sprint is getting all warmed up, well in time before the holidays, and confirmed the release of the Qwerty-keyboard fitted LG Mach on November 11th, earlier today. An internally leaked document from Sprint, which also includes images, pricing and specs of a new device by ZTE, seems to indicate a November 11th release of what is dubbed as the ZTE Flash.
Coincidentally, @evleaks has also posted a render of the ZTE flash on his Twitter account. For those not familiar with @evleaks, this account has been quite accurate with leaked images of the Nexus 4 that he posted in the days preceding the actual announcement. So there is definitely quite a bit of credibility there.
The specs seem to be pretty impressive, with a 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, a 4.5-inch display, 8GB of internal storage, LTE ready, a 1730 mAh battery, and oh — a 12 MP rear camera plus Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on board. The ZTE Flash is supposedly priced at $129 after a $50 mail-in rebate, and we suppose, the standard two-year service contract would apply.
Looks like November 11th is going to be a busy day of sorts for Sprint with two new budget devices getting outed, and there’s always a market for budget phones. If you’re on the lookout for a decent phone that’s not going to burn a hole in your pocket, which one would you choose, the LG Mach with the slide-out Qwerty or the ZTE Flash?
