ZTE announced the launch of Gigabit — the world’s first 5G-ready smartphone at a MWC event on Sunday, 26th February. The company says the smartphone is capable of download speeds reaching up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps).
"With the new device, the way people stay connected will be changed forever. Focusing on 5G technologies will be one of the key priorities of ZTE's global development," a ZTE spokesman said.
The device is powered by Snapdragon 835’s advanced X16 LTE modem along with 4x4 MIMO antenna technology and 256-QM modulation. The device will reportedly allow users to experience 360-degree panoramic Virtual Reality video and fast downloads of ultra Hi-Fi audio and videos.
However, it doesn’t appear like the smartphone will be launched any time soon. Several reports suggest that the smartphone will be launched next year.
