ZTE confirms it will bring 5G smartphone with Snapdragon 855

The Chinese manufacturer ZTE announced on Monday it will bring a 5G phone at MWC in Barcelona on February 25. An event invite promised “New Axon, New 5G flagship” without clarifying if this means one and the same unit or two separate phones.

Today a new teaser arrived and it's as cryptic as the previous one. It says “5G speeds” and “bow down to performance” with stylized 855 in the middle, but we are still wondering if it will be a new Axon or a completely new series of devices.

ZTE Technology has started investing heavily in 5G connectivity after saving itself from bankruptcy following a huge fine by the US over breaking a trade embargo.

Its sister brand nubia will also host an event at MWC 2019 as well. We expect a curved screen on a wristband and hopefully a foldable smartphone along with it.
