The ZTE V9A Light Tab we spotted last month now has an official Press Release and, as we mentioned earlier, will arrive in shops soon. Known now as the “ZTE Light II Tablet” it’s the first own-branded tablet from the company to UK customers. ZTE, like HTC many years ago, have followed the path of lettting operators stick logos onto their kit.
The Light II runs Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) on a Qualcomm MSM8255 and has 7″ TFT-LCD capacitive screen, FM radio and, according to ZTE, the battery should give you 5.5 hours of movie play. The tablet also has 2 cameras, 4GB of in-built memory and WiFi.
