ZTE plans to launch phone capable of 1 Gbps downloads

The ZTE's new phone will be called the Gigabit

ZTE has revealed it plans to introduce a smartphone at the Mobile World Congress trade show later this month which will be capable of 1 Gbps download speeds. The phone will be called the ZTE Gigabit Phone. ZTE has claimed the phone’s raw speed will bring “a qualitative leap to a new world of mobile experience by making 360-degree panoramic VR video, instant cloud storage, entertainment upgrades and fast cache of Ultra Hi-Fi music and movies possible.”

ZTE has not shared any other details of the handset yet, but there are a few to be understood based on ZTE’s claims. For one, Qualcomm’s X16 modem is one of the only wireless chips available which is capable of such speeds. Moreover, the X16 was designed to assist the Snapdragon 835 processor in mind. And lastly, only a single network — Australia’s Telstra — supports this astronomical high-speed mobile broadband at the moment. This means most people will not be able to experience the phone’s full potential.

ZTE has also stated that it will launch new phones in its Blade series at MWC. ZTE had recently launched its Blade-branded handset, the V8 Pro, to the US.
