5" ZTE Quantum might be heading for Sprint

Sprint is testing a device from ZTE tentatively called the Quantum with model number N8910, Android Police learned recently. The Quantum has mid to high-end specs with its 5" 720p screen, a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4, a 13MP camera, NFC, and Sprint's 4G LTE.
The device runs Android 4.1.2, which isn't currently the latest iteration of Android, but in line with most newer devices on the market today outside of the Nexus line and the Galaxy S4.
The lack of 2GB of RAM, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and something like an S4 Pro (or newer) upgrade separate the Pro from the current flagships, but then again - did anyone really expect a ZTE phone on Sprint to suddenly blow everyone else out of the water?
Here's the full rundown of the specs we were able to gather from the anonymous tipster and the set of AnTuTu benchmark screens:

5" 720p screen (320 dpi) with "terribad viewing angles," according to our tipster
Dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 @ 1.5GHz with Adreno 225 graphics
1GB RAM

1.5GB ROM + 4GB internal memory (based on AnTuTu screenshots)
13.0 MP rear camera
0.9 MP front-facing camera
NFC
Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n dual-band
Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.2)
3 capacitive buttons - no virtual buttons for you
Sprint 4G LTE
Could be a global phone as it has a SIM slot, whereas Sprint has always done embedded SIMs for LTE before.
As you can see, the Quantum is not quite the Grand S and not quite the Grand Memo - it's kind of doing its own thing, showing off its unusually large rear camera plate.

To add credibility to this leak, the N8910 recently received both Wi-Fi and DLNA certifications. Of course, nothing is official until it's official, so we'll just let Sprint take it from here.

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
