ZTE N880E – now with Jelly Bean

ZTE N880E now with Jelly Bean While Jelly Bean handsets aren’t very common on the market today, it looks like ZTE is going to be one of the first few OEMs to provide them. The company announced today the launch of the updated ZTE N880E – it’s first Android 4.1 Jelly Bean phone in China. The ZTE N990E will feature a 4″ WVGA display, a 1GHz Qualcomm 7627A processor, 4GB of onboard storage, a 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera and a microSD card slot. The phone was launched earlier this year with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and it looks like ZTE just gave it an upgrade in the software department to make it more relevant.

Its specs aren’t anything to shout about, but hey – it comes with the latest version of Android, so that should keep people happy. No word on whether the device will hit the States, but we’ll keep you posted if it does.

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

Jelly Bean (Android): is also known as Android 4.1. It improves upon 4.0 in a few ways: 1/ "butter smooth" user interface, thanks to many changes on how graphics operations are timed and synchronized. 2/ automatic widget re-sizing so that users can max out their screen space. 3/ Voice typing goes offline, which is great because the previous version only worked if the data connection was good. 4/ Better camera app that makes reviewing and curating photos easier. 5/ Google Now is a personal assistant which competes with Apple's Siri.
