ZTE has cracked out the Buck's Fizz at MWC 2012 with the launch of the ZTE Mimosa X; it's a dual-core Android 4.0 handset but is it worthy of its celebratory name?

The Mimosa X has a certain Nokia-esque look about it, with the 4.3-inch screen housed in a long, rounded chassis.

As with most ICS devices, the Mimosa hasn't got many buttons to speak of, although there are four softkeys running along the bottom of the screen, as well as a power button and volume slider.

The top of the phone plays host to the power button and 3.5mm headphone jack, while there's a microUSB slot on the side of the device. It's not a particularly fat handset but it's certainly packing a little more girth than the comparatively-specced HTC One S, for example.

Like most ZTE handsets, the Mimosa X feels fairly plasticky in the hand - this is not top end build quality, that's for sure - but these materials do help to keep the handset's weight down so it's not all bad.

We like the qHD screen, although it is very reflective and the viewing angles are fewer and further between than the HTC One Series handsets coupled with Sense 4.0.

The camera is a respectable 5MP affair, complete with single LED flash and not too much of a lip sticking out from the back of the handset. But again, the camera hardware looks a bit Nokia.
