Under the hood, the Grand S3 runs on a Snapdragon 801 chipset with a quad-core 2.5GHz Krait 400 CPU and Adreno 330 GPU, backed by 3GB RAM. That was solid mid-to-upper tier performance for 2015, and it's paired with 16GB storage plus a microSD slot for up to 64GB more. The 5.5-inch IPS LCD screen runs at full HD (1080 x 1920) with a sharp 401 ppi density, so text and images stay crisp even up close.

Camera-wise, you get a 16MP rear shooter with dual-LED flash and an 8MP front camera that can shoot 1080p video, plus HDR and panorama modes for stills. Instead of a fingerprint scanner, ZTE fitted this phone with an Eyeprint ID sensor for unlocking, which was an unusual choice at the time. A 3100mAh battery keeps things running, and the body stays fairly slim at 9.8mm thick. ZTE Grand S3 price in Malaysia starts from RM1799, and it's available in Silver.
