ZTE are currently the 5th largest
phone makers in the world, and with the growing interested in
wearable technology they hope to become number 1.
ZTE USA CEO Licing Cheng has gone on the record saying his company is very interested in the growth surrounding
wearable technology and that
ZTE will “definitely” be getting involved in the market. As well as obviously producing their own
wearable devices such as ZTE/Nubia branded smart
watches,
ZTE also hope to attract other manufactures by producing purpose made components for their new technology.
Currently
Sony and
Samsung are the main manufactures of smart watches, but other companies are also making waves including start-ups such as Omate and
Chinese manufacturer
Geak.
For the
Chinese phone makers hoping to go global, Android smart
watches could be the perfect first
device to capture international awareness.
