ZTE are making waves and emphasising that they mean business in their ambition to be a top 4 device manufacturer. They have unveiled a slew of new phones at MWC2012 including the interesting ZTE PF112.

ZTE announce Light Tab 2 Android tablet

ZTE will be releasing a new Android tablet in the UK from February according to retailer Clove. Whilst it is always good news to hear about new kit, this tablet will hardly set the world on fire.

ZTE Range of Android phones available to pre-order

Expansys UK are now offering the new range of ZTE phones SIM free for pre-order. Top end Skate is the glory boy of the range with a large 4.3 inch screen and an 800MHz processor. It packs a 5 megapixel camera into a svelte 10.4mm case giving a fair few high end phones a run for the money on the format of its dimension. Shame about the processor though for a £229.99 phone. The Blackberry-esque Tureis is up for £149.99 and features an 800Mhz processor with a 2.6 inch capacitive touch screen Read more [...]
