Why did ZTE create two phones that are so similar? What are the true differences? I could understand if they were for separate markets / carriers...

I start this thread because development is starting on the Avid and these are things we need to know. I know we do not have the kernel sources for this device yet, but the lack of differences (vs Avid) are very interesting to me.

Anyone have any insight?

 

The Avid is the N9120, and the Force is the N9100, strangely the force was FCC approved 6 months or so AFTER the Avid. Not sure if this info I see is correct, but the Avid will operate on a few more bands than the Force, making it more desirable as a global product in a transitional market?

 

Then it must be SDXC... so really we can have 2TB memcards.. neat.

Some of those sites do not have the proper specs on many phones... just noticed there is an FM radio chip with RDS on here... not about to pay $10 for spirit fm though - who wants to listen to commercials!

 

I have not been paying attention My true intention with this thread is to figure out the differences to aid in development.

I'm not about to open mine up to see what chips are in there and we can only do so much with software. If the kernel sources are ever released, or if someone doesn't mind trying stuff that works on the Avid and risk bricking their Force, we really don't know.

The specs on the ZTE website do not even show all of the phone features so I don't think they will be much help until the device is near EOL.
