ZTE announces Grand X LTE for Europe and Asia Pacific
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesZTEGrand X LTE
You probably don't put too much thought into how many chips it takes to get your smartphone on an LTE network, but just in case you were curious, ZTE's upcoming Grand X LTE (T82) will only need one. Qualcomm's MSM8960 makes the Grand X LTE ZTE's first single-chip LTE handset, and the firm is very proud. If processor cores and hardware stats are more your concern, however, rest easy knowing the Grand X packs a 1.5 GHz dual-core CPU, an 8-megapixel rear camera and a delectable serving of Android 4.0. Details on the slab's price and release date are scarce, but it should hit Europe and Asia Pacific in the third quarter. Check out the official press release after the break for more details.

ZTE Tania coming to China soon, processor upgraded to 1.4 Ghz
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesZTETania
Unwiredview reports that the ZTE Tania may be less than 10 days away from shipping in China.
ZTE sales director Wei Xiaodong told CNMO that the Tania will be in Chinese stores before the end of this month.
The handset from the Chinese company has so far only been distributed in UK and Europe.
The smartphone will see an interesting specs update prior to its release there – instead of a 1 Ghz processor it will now sports a 1.4 Ghz processor – an interesting choice when the handset’s main weakness is its 4GB storage rather than the more generous 8 GB or 16 GB.

Security vulnerability found with the ZTE Score M can allow others to control the device
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesZTEScore M
Oh my goodness people! We really need to sound the alarms because a recent vulnerability was uncovered with the ZTE Score M for MetroPCS, which enables some unwanted individuals to gain control of the handset. Well, that’s the bad news of course, especially to those owners stateside, but seeing that the Score M isn’t necessarily the shining stallion in the stable, it’s not going to stir up a whole lot of things.
Nonetheless, it’s a security vulnerability that we’re talking about over here. Actually, it was first discovered by Dmitri Alperovitch of CrowdStrike, who is a co-founder of the cybersecurity firm, and from the way he sees it, it could’ve been due to poor development. Well, it’s eith...

ZTE to ship 40 million smartphones this year?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesZTE
ZTE is super bullish on its prospects in the smartphone market this year. According to DigiTimes‘ sources at the Taiwan-based makers of handset components, the Chinese company will ship between 35 and 40 million smartphones this year, which is a significant increase from 11 million units shipped last year. Judging by their extensive line-up unveiled during this year’s Mobile World Congress, we tend to think ZTE will manage to reach this goal and who knows, maybe even surpass its own estimates.

ZTE Mimosa X announced with ICS for Q2 2012: first phone to combine Tegra SoC with Icera modem
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesZTEGrand X
You may have your sights set on Nvidia's next generation of mobile processor, the Tegra 3, but the company has another little achievement to announce today: the first smartphone powered entirely by its chips. The Mimosa X from ZTE features the dual-core Tegra 2 of old plus an Icera 450 HSPA+ modem for the baseband and RF processing. Icera was a 2011 acquisition for Nvidia that is quickly being transformed into the green team's modem design and development house — saving Nvidia the trouble of relying on competitors like Qualcomm for its connectivity needs. Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has promised that we'll see an integrated LTE chipset this year, one that combines the best of Tegra and Icera, ...

Cricket unveils ZTE Chorus, its third Muve Music smartphone
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesZTEChorus
We're not saying much, but a little bird told us about this travesty months and months ago. Now, it seems that Cricket is ready to act on its plans, and well, here's the ZTE Chorus. It's certainly a handsome device, but sadly, there's not a whole lot going on underneath the hood. It combines a 3.2-inch 400 x 240 (WQVGA) resistive touch display with a 600MHz CPU, a 2 megapixel camera and a 1000mAh battery. Seeking redemption, the Chorus is the third smartphone in Cricket's stable to offer Muve Music access, and its $40 price tag (after some hefty rebates) is nothing to sneeze at, but really, even without contract, don't saddle yourselves down with this one, folks. The Samsung Vitality is a mu...

ZTE Tania launched in France on SFR, no ZTE branding though
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesZTETania
ZTE is a Chinese company that’s in the exact same boat Huawei was in just a few short years ago, and that HTC was in going as far back as the late 1990s. All three of these Asian companies make mobile phones, but their first customers weren’t people, they were the corporations we so lovingly call wireless operators. It took a lot of commitment from HTC to develop their own brand and eventually the Sense UI that differentiates them today in the Android world. The same can be said for Huawei, who just recently announced that they’re going to open up a design shop in London and will be selling their branded devices unlocked in retail stores. ZTE is still a baby in this respect. Today one of the...

HTC, Sharp, and ZTE planning NFC smartphones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSHARPHTCZTE
HTC has been coy about adding NFC to its smartphones to date, but that could all be about to change after the company, along with Sharp and ZTE, announced that it is joining the NFC forum.
The NFC Forum, the non-profit industry association that advances the use of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, has confirmed that Barclaycard has also joined.
While that isn’t a pre-requisite for including the technology in the latest and greatest phones, it is one of the first steps to taking the technology seriously.
The three are a handful of the 26 new companies to join the forum that works in a similar way to the Blu-ray Disc Association.
"Our newest members demonstrate the broad appeal of the...

4.3-inch ZTE Tania unveiled, ZTE’s first Windows Phone Mango handset
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMicrosoftZTEWindows Phone 7.5
The ZTE Tania (codename) is the first Windows Phone Mango handset by Chinese phone maker ZTE and it’s definitely got some looks, but does it match it with potent hardware? The ZTE Tania, unveiled at China International Communications Exhibition 2011, lies just around the mid-range of WP devices, so it doesn’t go into dual-core territory, but it’s still got some decent-looking specs.

ZTE Skate starts shipping worldwide
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesZTESkate
The ZTE Skate has started shipping world-wide. The Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) smartphone, first unveiled at the World Mobile Congress in February, is said to be designed after the style of a skateboard. Although shipping with a Snapdragon processor, it is not one of the more recent processors, and will see the device slot into the mid-range of Android devices in both performance and price.
The Skate centers on a large 4.3-inch capacitive display with a resolution of 800x400. It ships in a matte plastic case, which is 11.35mm thin and which weighs in at 148-grams.
The ZTE Skate is part of a concerted push by ZTE in 2011, which will see the Chinese company launch 30 new smartphones by the end o...

ZTE Skate coasting into UK retailers... in September
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesZTESkate
Oh, now it's on. Not too long ago, we learned the ZTE Skate Monte Carlo would be "coming soon" to Orange in the UK. While the citrus-flavored network has yet to pin down an actual release date -- or price -- Clove Technology, a mobile-centric reseller based in England, is telling its customers to expect a September 19th arrival and £250 price tag (subject to change, anyway). Naturally, the announcement of an actual, honest-to-goodness Skate falls in line with ZTE's recent announcement that it would begin selling its hardware -- replete with ZTE badging -- directly to UK consumers. If you've got the gamblin' spirit and are willing to put money on Clove, the pre-order madness has already begun...
