TENAA has once again provided leaked details of an upcoming phone, but this ZTE lacks a feature every Android Smartphone should have.
The ZTE S3003 is an unremarkable device. The 5-inch phones has a HD resolution screen, 1GB RAM, and just 8GB memory. The alloy chassis is slim but there really is nothing out of the ordinary on the phone, well expect for the lack of rear camera!
The device passed it’s the TENAA approval process on the 16th of the month, and images of the phones show a slim design, dual SIM support and a couple of physical buttons on one side.
Gizchina News of the week
Where a rear camera should be there is nothing. There are no tell-tale signs of a moving camera pod, or pop out camera element anywhere in the design. So what have ZTE got here? have they created a way to side the camera behind a panel similar to how a one way mirror might work, or have they really gone ahead and created a phone with no camera?
If the latter is the case it might be that the ZTE S3003 is designed for internal government use where a camera phone would be a security threat. What do you make of this device? Would you ever want a smartphone that lacked a camera?
Well, if I had to choose between a protruding camera and no camera at all, I choose the latter 🙂 Anyways, I’m just imagining my friend’s reaction to a “camera-less” phone. A phone without camera is not a phone lol! On the other hand, how would we react 15 years ago? “Yes… And?!” 🙂
A phone without a camera is still a comunication device.
LOL
…just that but not a smartphone anymore
a camera is not a requirement for a smartphone.
Right on point
Yes, technically. But by today’s standard, it’s a half-product IMHO 🙂 On top of that, video calls are also way of communicating, which would not be possible without camera. So, less communication possibilities 🙂
I believe it might have to do with security as mentioned in the text but I guess it could also be a phone that is gonna be superbudget

Ultimate disaster.
maybe you should read more than just one paragraph…the last part makes a lot of sense.
I read the entire thing, along with the “might be” that you are speaking of. Until it is confirmed that is what is for and not just speculation this phone is a disaster. Even if it is for government sales it still could be a disaster.
There must be a trick – i can clearly see that there is a big ridge on the upper side – so it must rotate – Lol strange design
I don’t think so…it is for the 3.5 mm headphone jack
I mean like the upper “line you see” -_-

What if the camera is actually there? You need to slide it open like Sony Cybershot C902.
Or you have to remove back cover 🙂
