ZTE Windows Phones coming to the U.S. by year's end

ZTE Windows Phones coming to the U.S. by year's end

Posted on May 11, 2012 by MG1

ZTE wants to grow its Windows Phone business beyond Europe and Asia, and eventually bring its smartphones to the U.S. We guess they’re talking about the Tania handset, though as far as we know they may have some other products in the pipeline, as well.
At the moment, the Chinese company has a number of low-to-mid range devices on sale across U.S. carriers (some of which are Android-based) and offering a Windows Phone device could prove beneficial for their bottom line. Moreover, with ZTE entering the picture, customers get another option, the one that doesn’t necessarily pulls them into expensive monthly contracts.

ZTE reveals $20 to $30 cost of Windows Phone license

ZTE reveals $20 to $30 cost of Windows Phone license

Posted on Jan 20, 2012 by MG1

ZTE launched its Tania Windows Phone in the UK last night and provided some insight into the true costs of Windows Phone for manufacturers at the same time. ZTE executive Santiago Sierra, a portfolio manager for the company's UK arm, revealed to TrustedReviews that the firm pays between £15 and £20 ($23-$30) for a Windows Phone license from Microsoft.
The revelation is surprising to say the least. Other Windows Phone makers like HTC and Samsung are widely believed to pay around $10 to $15 per device. ZTE's figures appear to suggest that all is not fair in the Windows Phone licensing world, or that manufacturers are paying a lot more than previously expected. ZTE told us at the UK Tania launc...

ZTE bringing a Windows Phone to USA this year

ZTE bringing a Windows Phone to USA this year

Posted on Jan 19, 2012 by MG1

ZTE has told AllThingsD it intends to bring a Windows Phone to USA this year. The company already produces the low-end but good looking ZTE Tania, which is being sold carrier-branded by SFR in France.
The company will likely take a similar carrier-branded approach in USA.
“We understand the U.S. market is primarily a market driven by the carriers,” ZTE U.S. CEO Lixin Cheng said in an interview at last week’s Consumer Electronics Show. “Compared with some of our competitors, we are more willing to customize our product.”
Cheng noted that Microsoft is a key partner for his company for its current “Mango” version of Windows Phone, as well as for its upcoming “Tango” low-end effort. ZTE is also ...

4.3-inch ZTE Tania unveiled, ZTE’s first Windows Phone Mango handset

4.3-inch ZTE Tania unveiled, ZTE’s first Windows Phone Mango handset

Posted on Sep 26, 2011 by MG3

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.

Microsoft teases a WP7 version of the Samsung Galaxy S II, plus new handsets from Fujitsu, ZTE and Acer

Posted on Jul 13, 2011 by MG1

Microsoft's WPC 2011 conference which we reported from yesterday is in full swing, and special time was dedicated to Windows Phone, with Redmond showing off not one or two, but four new WP handsets. While it didn't specify many details about the phones themselves, Microsoft reiterated that we will have three new manufacturers jumping on the bandwagon - Acer, Fujitsu and ZTE.
But there were actually four handsets on stage, with the fourth being none other but the Windows Phone version of the Samsung Galaxy S II, one of the best handsets money can currently buy. Samsung's phone, as well as all others that were present during the keynote, seemed to have the good ol' front-facing camera, which i...
