By now, having a camera on your smartphone is all but a certainty, which makes it all the more unusual that a ZTE smartphone without a camera has just passed through TENAA for certification – the Chinese version of the FCC. It’s kind of disconcerting look at the rear of device, but the completely smooth brushed metal back does make for a very attractive aesthetic.
We’d be interested to know what kind of market this device would be popular in, but given the low-end specs, the omission of a camera module is likely to make the device even more dirt cheap. According to the TENAA listing, the device has a 1.5GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 5-inch 720p display and weighs a measly 117 grams – for reference, another budget smartphone, the Motorola Moto G, weighs around 140 grams.
We’ll have to see whether this device ever makes it West-ward, and while it might not be a big seller, if the price is right, a smartphone without a camera would make a very interesting proposition for those who have no use for a camera.
