ZTE to unleash eight new phones at MWC, hopes multi-core chipsets and LTE push them into third place

Sean Buckley

If the trio of slabs ZTE announced earlier this week weren't enough for you, sit tight, the outfit just announced it's bringing a total of eight new phones to Barcelona next week. The new handsets will reportedly flaunt multi-core processors, LTE radios and the latest versions of the Aneroid and Windows Phone platforms. This announcement both echos and one-ups the recently announced Mimosa X, which gets its dual-core chops from an NVIDIA Tegra 2, but boasts only HSPA+, rather than the promised LTE. ZTE says it hopes the new devices will help it become one of the world's top three handset providers by the year 2015. Seem far off? Don't worry, at least the phones will be here by Monday. Read on for ZTE's official press statement.

The first phones to run Firefox OS are coming soon, and they're making their first public appearance at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.Similar to webOS, Firefox OS is a web-based platform, with all apps and core functions based on web standards such as HTML5. Since those standards are well known and many apps have web-based versions, it will be theoretically a simple matter for developers to export apps to Firefox OS.Todd Simpson, Mozilla's chief ...

feeds.mashable.com Stan Schroeder 88 days ago

BARCELONA -- Chinese mobile powerhouse ZTE is one of the top mobile phone makers in the world, but its name is unknown to most customers outside China.

www.tuaw.com Michael Rose 49 days ago

Ready to think pink? Scrappy fourth-place US cell carrier T-Mobile is eager to serve; the company's preorder run for the iPhone 5 has launched today. Phones will ship to customers on April 12. Last week, Engadget confirmed that the T-Mobile model of the iPhone 5 will carry the same A1428 model number as the current AT&T/GSM domestic model.

Older GSM iPhone 5 units cannot get this fix v... Read similar

ZTE Grand Memo hands-on: a Galaxy Note competitor without a stylus (video)

www.engadget.com Joseph Volpe 88 days ago

Nothing's changed since last we saw ZTE's Grand Memo in Hong Kong last January. But the Chinese OEM's trotting it out once again at MWC 2013 here in Barcelona, reintroducing the palm-stretching device for the global press. From the name alone, it's clear that ZTE's angling this tabletphone (sorry, no stylus included) at Samsung's successful Note line; a competition that's already been won by the recently unveiled and incredibly massive Note 8. The Grand Memo's specs have remained the same -- 5.7-inch 720p TFT display, quad-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro, 1GB RAM, Android 4.1.2 and 13-megapi... Read similar

Galaxy Note 8.0 coming to the US on April 11th for $400

www.engadget.com Terrence O'Brien 45 days ago

If you want a (semi) pocketable S Pen experience, well, then the 5.5-inch Galaxy Note II is the device for you. If you want something more akin to carrying around a digital legal pad, there's the well proportioned Note 10.1. But if one note is too small for you, and the other too big, then maybe the Note 8.0 is just right. The mid-sized tablet, announced at MWC, is finally hitting American shores on April 11th for $400. Under the hood are the same powerful internals we got a good look at in Barcelona, including the 2GB of RAM and 1.6GHz quad-core processor. But, sadly, Samsung removed the ce... Read similar

ZTE to reveal its own Firefox OS phone at MWC 2013

www.engadget.com Mat Smith 114 days ago

ZTE's plans for this year's Mobile World Congress just got a little more interesting. While we've already taken a look at the huge Grand Memo in action, the Chinese maker's invite suggests that there will be another "major new mobile device" to show us, throwing in a 'ZTEMozilla' hashtag for good measure. We knew that Mozilla and ZTE have been holding hands for a while, and this serves to confirm mutterings that we'd see some Firefox OS hardware early this year -- although there's no hint of that mysterious European carrier just yet.

China Mobile says over 60 million TD-SCDMA devices sold in 2012, aiming for twice as many this year

www.engadget.com Richard Lai 121 days ago

At today's 2013 Qualcomm China Partner Summit in Shenzhen, China Mobile sent its Deputy General Manager of Products Wang Hengjiang to share some hardware stats. In 2012, over 60 million TD-SCDMA devices were sold, with December alone pumping out over seven million units. To put that into perspective, there are now over 220 million 3G phone users in China (as of end of November), meaning the carrier still has plenty of catching up to do as it had a late start in the 3G game. That said, Wang also announced that China Mobile aims to sell twice as many TD-SCDMA devices this year, with smartphone... Read similar

To make it all seem more realistic, it partnered with Sierra Wireless and Ericsson here in Barcelona in order to prove the figure... Read similar
