ZTE Open Hardware and Performance

Hardware and Performance

Under the hood, the ZTE Open is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7225A Snapdragon S1 chipset accompanied by a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A5 CPU and an Adreno 200 GPU. These specifications clearly mark it as an entry-level device, optimized for basic tasks rather than intensive applications or gaming. The phone's internal memory features 512MB ROM and 256MB RAM, which can seem quite limited, but this is countered somewhat by the inclusion of a 2 GB microSDHC card for expanded storage, illustrating that even at the entry level, secondary storage solutions were necessary.
