ZTE P945, 5.7-inch phablet leaked and heading to China!
Seems that ZTE isn’t done with big smartphones, first came Nubia Z5, then ZTE is going to show Grand S in CES 2013, and now there’ new phablet slap called ZTE P945(codename). ZTE P945 has 5.7-inch “only” 720p display, a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 8MP camera and 3,000mAh battery. While the screen is larger than in both Grand S and Nubia Z5′s, it’s pretty disappointing that the display is only 720p and not full HD 1080p display. Software is said to be only Android 4.0.x Ice Cream Sandwich and not Jelly Bean. Supposed launch is sometime in late Q1 or in early Q2, and it will be available for China Mobile, but pricing is yet to be revealed.

iPhone 5 expected to go on sale in China by mid-December!
iPhone 5 expected to go on sale in China by mid-December, after granted access license by The Ministry of Industry and Technology of the People’s Republic of China and is now suitable for going sale in China. This was one of the several regulatory hurdles the handset has to go through, and it’s now ready to go. Filings reveal that both a WCDMA and CDMA-2000 edition have been approved, confirming that the handset will be available for both China Unicom and China Telecom.
Analysts say the delay in the launch of the iPhone in China is in part due to Apple’s need to cater to demand in the U.S. market as well as the country-specific tests and licensing necessary for a company to release a smartphone in China.
