ZTE Star 2 smartphone arrives with system-wide voice recognition and flagship specs

ZTE has released a new flagship-class smartphone, the Start 2, which is the very same device we seen get certified in China a few days back. The new launch is a 4G LTE offering and it delivers system-wide voice controls which is a pretty nifty feature.

And we’re talking about touchless voice commands like what you’d get on the Motorola Moto X. The ZTE Star 2 will allow users you unlock the device by using a unique voice tone, open third-party applications, capture images, control music playback and a lot more. The company notes that system-level recognition solution works even when the phone is offline.

The ZTE device comes with the MiFavor 3.0 custom skin that’s highly customizable and it offers slim bezels and a 6.9mm thick design.
