"Sprint and ZTE decided not to hold a fancy get together to announce the Flash. Heck, there wasn't even really proper PR. The ICS-sporting handset simply popped up in the online store and a spec sheet was sent out over the wire for those interested enough in mid-range Android devices to pay attention. The leak that caught our attention a couple of weeks back turns out to be spot on -- the 4.5-inch phone is running what looks to be a pretty vanilla build of Ice Cream Sandwich on a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon and 1GB of RAM. There's also plenty of little niceties included, like NFC (fingers crossed for Google Wallet!), Bluetooth 4.0, LTE and a microSD expansion slot to complement the reasonably paltry 8GB of internal storage. Oh, and that display -- it's IPS and HD, so expect nice viewing angles and crisp images. The two biggest bullet points here, though, are the eco-friendly design and that massive 12.6 megapixel sensor. You can pick one up now for $130 with a $50 mail-in rebate. The complete data sheet awaits you after the break.Show full PR text      Sprint Flash&amp;trade; Fact Sheet   Best-in-class camera at a reasonable price     Productivity   &amp;middot; Android&amp;trade; 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich   &amp;middot; 4.5-inch HD display   &amp;middot; 1.5GHz dual-core processor   &amp;middot; Personal and business email and text messaging, as well as IM through Google Talk&amp;trade;   &amp;middot; Google Mobile&amp;trade; wireless services such as Google Search&amp;trade;, Gmail&amp;trade;, Google Maps&amp;trade; for Android, Google Calendar&amp;trade;, Voice Search and YouTube&amp;trade;   &amp;middot; 3G/4G LTE mobile hotspot capability supporting up to eight Wi-Fi enabled devices simultaneously   &amp;middot; Wi-Fi&amp;reg; 802.11 b/g/n     Entertainment/Personalization   &amp;middot; Dual Cameras: 12.6-megapixel rear-facing camera with auto focus , LED Flash, ISO 100-800 and 1-megapixel front-facing; 720p recording, uploading and playback   &amp;middot; Near Field Communication (NFC) technology allows the device to read information from everyday objects, like stickers and posters embedded with NFC chips   &amp;middot; Play Store with more than 600,000 apps, millions of songs and books and thousands of movies, Play Store has something for everyone   &amp;middot; Sprint ID offering an innovative way to personalize an Android smartphone with apps, widgets, ringtones and more all in a single download   &amp;middot; 3.5mm stereo headset jack   &amp;middot; Bluetooth&amp;reg; 4.0      Eco-friendly Attributes   &amp;middot; ULE Platinum Certified, the highest level of environmental performance recognized by sustainable requirements established by ULE and Sprint      Specifications   &amp;middot; Dimensions: 5.27 inches (H) x 2.56 inches (W) x 0.38 inches (D)   &amp;middot; Weight: 5.2 ounces   &amp;middot; Display: 4.5-inches\" HD 24bit Colors with IPS Technology   &amp;middot; Battery: 1780mAh Lithium-Ion battery for up to 8 hours talk time   &amp;middot; Chipset: Qualcomm MSM8960   &amp;middot; Memory: 8GB ROM, 1GB RAM and microSD&amp;trade; card slot supporting up to 32GB memory card (card sold separately)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
