ZTE Unveils new Logo

ZTE Unveils New Logo

ZTE’s 30th birthday is just days away, and tonight the company revealed a new logo to go along with that milestone.

ZTE Corporation’s new logo is brighter and more rounded than its old one, which ZTE says reflects its new “Cool-Green-Open” philosophy. This’ll lead ZTE to be more youthful, dynamic, environmentally responsible, open-minded, and collaborative, the firm says. The new logo also goes along with ZTE’s focus on mobile information and communication technologies.

“ZTE is evolving our operations in line with our broader M-ICT vision, which will help us deliver higher value to customers and drive the growth of our business,” explained ZTE President and CEO Shi Lirong. “At the heart of the new strategy is the move towards a new company culture. In the coming months, our customers will see the new ZTE through the actions and projects of our employees.”

ZTE’s been focusing much more on consumers and getting their devices into the public’s hands in recent years, and this new logo goes along with that effort by being more “fun” than its old one.

ZTE GRAND X MAX

ZTE GRAND X MAX

comes to Cricket for $200

  ZTE has announced another new smartphone ready to go on sale in America. It’s the Grand X Max, and it’s coming to the Cricket Wireless network later this month, when it will cost $200 without a contract. The Grand X Max is the latest in a string of new, higher profile devices from ZTE to be released in the U.S., backing up its ambition to unseat LG from third place in the market.

Will the Grand X Max be the device to do it? That depends on your expectations. It’s a massive phone with a 6-inch touchscreen, and at 162mm long and 83mm wide, it’s even larger than the Huawei Ascend Mate 7. It’s slightly thinner at 7.8mm, though. However, the spec sheet can’t stand up to Huawei’s flagship phablet.

  The screen’s resolution is 1280 x 720, and the whole device is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 200 processor running at 1.2GHz. There’s 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage memory, but luckily there is also a MicroSD card slot to up this figure by another 32GB. An 8-megapixel camera sits on the rear of the phone with an LED flash, and a rather ordinary 1-megapixel camera is above the screen, ready to take a selfie.

  These mid-range specs may not attract power users, but when matched to the big 3200mAh battery inside the Grand X Max, should result in the phone having a long standby time, although ZTE doesn't quote any numbers to back this up. Android 4.4 KitKat is installed, but there’s no mention whether the Grand Max X is one of ZTE’s new generation smartphones without its own custom user interface over the top. Even if it is, ZTE has still installed several third-party apps, including the Kindle app, Evernote, and the Peel Smart Remote to control your TV.

Cricket will have the Grand Max X up for sale on October 10, both online and in stores.

How To Reset the ZTE Light Tab

How To Reset the ZTE Light Tab

"Hard Reset", also known as Restore Factory Settings, is a method of reverting all the phone's settings to it's factory default. You may reset your phone either the "hard" way (which resets the phone and deletes your personal settings) or the "soft" way (which resets the phone but keeps your personal settings. Remove the SIM card and memory card first.

ZTE ZMax

ZTE ZMax

The Affordable Business Solution

  ZTE's latest smartphone is a big, affordable business device. It packs a huge, 5.7-inch (14.5 centimeters) display that gives you tons of room to work on, as well as a zippy processor and a great, big battery. And business users can buy this device at a fraction of the cost of more-premium phablets. Get a hands-on look at the ZTE ZMax at our sister site Laptop Mag, or read on for three features that make this phone good for work.

Big display

The ZTE ZMax boasts a big, 5.7-inch screen that provides plenty of real estate for daily productivity tasks. In terms of size, it's on par with Samsung's 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 4 phablet, and bigger than Apple's new 5.5-inch (14 cm) iPhone 6 Plus. However, it lacks the sharpness and overall picture quality of those devices. Other hardware highlights for the Zmax include a zippy quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor and 16GB of onboard storage.

Value

  The ZTE Z Max isn't as sleek or powerful as more-premium smartphones, but it is more affordable. The device isn't available to purchase at a subsidized price through major carriers such as Verizon or AT&T. Instead, you can buy this phone through T-Mobile for $250 upfront, or $0 down with 24 monthly payments of $10. Neither option requires buyers to commit to a pricey two-year contract; instead, you can opt for a more affordable monthly payment plan. If that still seems like a lot to pay for a smartphone, consider that the iPhone 6 Plus sells for $750 off-contract. In the long run, the ZTE ZMax is a good pick for business users who want a big smartphone that won't break the bank.

Long battery life

  We haven't yet had a chance to test the ZMax's battery life for ourselves, but we do know that the phone packs a huge, 3,400-mAh battery. That's even bigger than the one in the Galaxy Note 4, though that device is slimmer than the ZMax. Regardless, ZTE's phablet will likely offer good longevity, a big perk for business users who depend on their smartphones to get them through the workday and beyond.

How to Thoroughly Repair a Water Damaged ZTE Phone

How to Thoroughly Repair

 a Water Damaged 

ZTE Phone

  Sure we have all heard of the place the phone in rice trick among many others, but sometimes our phone takes more of a bath than it does a slight dip in the water.  When this happens, many of the circuits arc or get contaminated by mineral deposits that cause the phone to repeatedly short circuit.

  By using rubbing alcohol which evaporates completely and the use of an abrasive yet soft scrubbing tool like a toothbrush, these deposits are removed and the unit can send flawless signals to the processor and other vital areas for full functionality.  Follow the video and remember to take pictures as you disassemble your ZTE phone for easy reassembly.

  There's nothing worse than finishing your project with bolts left on the table.

  As both of these great powerhouse phones offer outstanding specs, each one provides an edge depending upon your needs.  The ZTE Nubia Z7 does have a lightning fast processor and a larger battery, but the Galaxy offers a larger expandable memory slot, has Gorilla Glass™, is waterproof, and offers a higher resolution.  I'm afraid hands down........The Galaxy Wins hands down.  However, this great phone from ZTE certainly gives this phone a run for its money.  At a price that fall usually $100 or more under the S5, the Nubia is a great priced smartphone.

ZTE Red Bull V5 Unboxing

ZTE Red Bull V5 Unboxing

  ZTE launched their ZTE Redbull V5 4G LTE phone here in China earlier this week at the low of only $135 here are the full specification details of this super phone.  ZTE really bucked the trend of producing a low cost smartphone for the Chinese market, and rather than going for the ‘plug-in and play’ Mediatek solutions, instead approached Qualcomm. The Redbull V5 uses a quad-core Snapdragon MSM8926 chipset, aka a Snapdragon 400. 

  The Snapdragon 400 is a low-cost 4G LTE chipset, and works with TDD-LTE (largely used across the world), 3G TD-SCDMA and GSM frequencies.  Memory options for the phone include 1GB RAM 4GB internal memory, or 2GB RAM and 8GB memory. If that isn’t enough then the memory can be extended using a 32GB SD card. And yes there is dual-sim support!  

  OS on the Redbull has been lifted directly from ZTE’s flagship Nubia range of phones, so you will be getting Nubia UI 2.0. Nubia UI 2.0 offers a new flat look and advanced camera features called Neovision 3.0 to produce stunning photographs.

  Other hot features include a 5-inch 1280 x 720 display, 13 mega-pixel f2.2 Sony Exmor main camera, 5 mega-pixel front, Bluetooth 4.0, 2.4Ghz WIFI, OTG and a removable 2400mAh battery .

  This Review is brought to you by Andrew Martonik from Android Central

  A solid set of specs and features taken to their logical conclusion and sold for a good price - is that enough to make a sale?

  With a string of carrier-commissioned and cheap unlocked handsets, ZTE has been struggling to work its way into the U.S. market. The same can actually be said for most areas outside of Asia and its home country of China, as ZTE has tried to expand its mainland success out into the rest of the world. It can likely be said that the unveiling of the Grand S LTE was its best shot back at CES in January of this year, but that launch was generally fumbled and the device really didn't make any waves.

  But as the Grand S finally makes its way to the U.S. in an unlocked form sold directly by ZTE, another handset with similar specs but a new design has emerged — the Nubia 5. With a nice display, simple look and an adequate spec sheet, the Nubia 5 actually seems as though it might have a few things going for it. And at $450 unlocked with a full U.S. warranty, it may just be a handset sold in the states that ZTE can be proud of. Read along after the break for our full review of the ZTE Nubia 5.

ZTE Grand X launching on August 8

Cricket Wireless Launches
ZTE Grand X
on August 8th

  Cricket today announced that it’s kicking off August by adding a new Android smartphone to its prepaid lineup.

  The ZTE Grand X will be available online and in Cricket stores starting August 8 at a price of $99.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate. In exchange for your Benjamin, you’ll be getting a smartphone with the following specs:

• 5-inch display
• 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor
• 5-megapixel rear, 1-megapixel front cameras
• 2300mAh battery
• Qualcomm Quick Charge 1.0, which can charge devices up to 40 percent faster than non-Quick Charge hardware
• SRS TruMedia surround sound
• Android 4.3 Jelly Bean

  While the ZTE Grand X is clearly an entry-level device, it’s actually not a bad offering when compared to most of Cricket’s other sub-$100 smartphones, including ZTE’s own Sonata and Overture. Plus, the Grand X’s 5-inch display could make it appealing to customers that want a bigger phone but are on a budget.

ZTE Blade Vec

ZTE Blade Vec

  ZTE has detailed its first smartphone to use the Google Now Launcher, shunning its own custom user interface, and also teased the forthcoming announcement of a fitness wristband. We heard about the Blade Vec 4G earlier this week, but have now been given the features and specs concerning the device.

  The phone has a 5-inch screen with an HD resolution – we’re betting that’s 720p, but ZTE hasn’t confirmed it – and is powered by the latest version of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 400 chip, which provides it with 4G LTE connectivity.  On the rear of the phone is an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus, but selfie fans are going to be disappointed by the 1-megapixel camera above the screen.

  ZTE has provided the Blade Vec 1GB with RAM and 16GB of storage space. There’s the usual array of sensors, plus GPS, Wi-Fi Direct, and an FM radio. A 2300mAh battery should be just about enough to power this relatively simple phone for at least a day. The operating system is Android 4.4, complete with the Google Now Launcher, and Google’s voice control system. A revised version of the Grand S2 smartphone was announced alongside the Blade Vec 4G, and it now boasts a new Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB of RAM, 4G LTE, and 16GB of internal memory.

  The company took a moment to tease us about a forthcoming fitness wearable device, which has been given the highly amusing name of the Grand Band. It sounds like ZTE’s take on Samsung’s Gear Fit (and not a well-dressed orchestra) and it will apparently measure the wearer’s heart rate, store the data, and help monitor health conditions. It doesn’t specifically mention tracking activity, but we’d be surprised if it wasn’t a feature. Described as “fashionable and practical,” we can look forward to the Grand Band launching later this year, in a variety of colors.

  ZTE’s Blade Vec 4G is the first phone outside of the Nexus and Google Play Edition phones to come with Google’s launcher pre-installed, and the company promises there are more to come. For now, the Blade Vec 4G is available in Hong Kong and several European countries. A U.S. launch could come in the future though.
