Although there are already a few options available for those who are looking for a budget smart phone, the ZTE Racer is the first entry coming from the Chinese mobile phone manufacturer ZTE. The Racer is a noteworthy addition to the "smart phone for everyone" category due to it being a well balanced device sporting the Google Android version 2.1 operating system (Eclair).
As a part of the little green robot's range of devices, the Racer does an outstanding job of giving users easy access to all the familiar Google features that many have grown to love. Google Search is only a click away when you find yourself clueless about a certain topic. The embedded Google Maps will make sure that you never get lost when you go on a road trip and the device's direct link to Gmail offers you the versatility of a roomy email service anytime and anywhere you need it.
Web Surfing Prowess
As it is, the Android operating system used by the ZTE Racer is enough to get excited about. Being an open sourced platform, there are endless possibilities in terms of personalization and app variety. But that aside, the Racer also has preinstalled features that will make the handset a dear device for novice smart phone users.
For instance, the on board Google Maps Navigation gives users a fully functioning and reliable satellite navigator.
The little green robot's web kit browser is a dream. It is simple and easy to use, even for those that are only starting to get used to mobile browsing. Paired with a super fast 7.2 Mbps 3G HSDPA connection, web surfing on the Racer is simply irresistible.
If you do not care for lightning fast speed but would like to go for longer hours of browsing without paying extra, the mobile phone is conveniently capable of connecting to Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) as well.
Multimedia Capabilities
The ZTE Racer has the makings of a great multimedia smart phone. The speaker output is superb and does not sound cheap like other mobile phones within its price range. Of course a 3.5 mm jack for earphone is present as well, giving the user a choice to listen to tunes in private. The device is able to recognize a variety of audio types as well, ranging from MP3s, WAVs and eAAC+ formats. For video clips, the Racer is able to play those in the MP4, H.263 and H.264 formats.
In a Flash
Being a well-balanced budget smart phone, the ZTE Racer comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera, able to take quality images with a 2048 by 1536 pixel resolution. The autofocus function, color and white balance settings as well as the on screen brightness adjustment ensure that the user is able to take great images on the go.
Speaking of flash, the Chinese manufacturer even included a handy barcode reader called Flash Code in order to help you search for products and compare them on the fly. This definitely comes in handy while shopping for the best bargain out there.
