[![ZTE confirms Blade III Android 40 smartphone, will debut in Scandinavia with two color options](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/09/ztebladeiiiofficialjt.jpg) ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/20/zte-confirms-blade-iii/)
It might have over-keenly [popped up online](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/23/zte-blade-iii-android-smartphone-leaked/) just a few weeks ago, but now ZTE's given the Blade III the official nod. As suspected, it bears a 4-inch 800 x 400 display, runs on a 1GHz Qualcomm chip, and offers Android 4.0 with 512MB of RAM to play with. The internal memory is confirmed as 4GB, with the OS taking up some of that, but there is (thankfully) the option to expand up to 32GB via SD, and that 5-megapixel shooter to use for filling it up. The HSPA phone will be getting a Nordic debut (much the same as its Nordic leak) with the black version landing in Sweden for 1,499 SEK (about $228) in October, but is available in white this month in Finland. Other "key markets" in Europe can look forward to seeing the Blade III sometime later this year.
