ZTE is a manufacturer that has rolled out smartphones as well as tablets, and it seems that they are working on expanding their horizons by wading into the wearable tech space through the unveiling of its first smartwatch, which is called the ZTE BlueWatch. The ZTE BlueWatch would be accompanied by an ePaper display, where sensors would enable it to function as a pedometer in addition to an activity tracker, not to mention boasting of support for third party apps via an API that ZTE intends to open up in the future.
It does look a whole lot like a Pebble smartwatch actually, but with the ZTE BlueWatch, it hails from one of the major players in the Chinese smartphone industry. So far, from what we know, a Pebble and BlueWatch when placed alongside one another, the Pebble display is touted to be a whole lot more vivid. However, do bear in mind that ZTE is showing off a prototype of the Bluewatch at this point in time, and as for the launch date, it remains to be seen just when that will happen. The ZTE BlueWatch has also been specially designed to pair with your handset via Bluetooth connectivity, where you can then check out display notifications concerning incoming messages on your wrist.

ZTE Grand S II Announced
Posted in: Today's Chili
[CES 2014] CES is back and roaring, and the folks over at ZTE have decided to introduce a new sequel to the ZTE Grand S that was introduced last year, where it is known as the ZTE Grand S II – how obvious. Its predecessor, the ZTE Grand S did look pretty decent at first glance, not to mention the fact that it was extremely thin, but it came with a 1,780 mAh battery, which isn’t too much at all considering this would mean it offers relatively little battery life, and would be best serving our interests as a featurephone. As for the ZTE Grand S II, it does seem to fare a whole lot better, boasting of a 3,000 mAh battery that pretty much places it on par with majority of the decent performers in the existing generation of smartphones.
Other hardware specifications of the ZTE Grand S II include a 5.5” 1080p Full HD touchscreen display, a 13MP shooter at the back, a 2MP camera in front, a quad-core 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, and 16GB of internal memory. Android will be the operating system of choice here, and it also comes with its own voice recognition software. No idea on pricing details though, so stay tuned!

When it comes to chipsets for mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets, there used to be just a handful of manufacturers, such as Qualcomm, NVIDIA, and MediaTek. However recently we have started to hear more companies developing their own chipsets, a departure from not too long ago where these smartphone OEMs used to source their chipsets from the companies mentioned above. These companies include LG with their own brand of Odin chipsets, Huawei, and recently it has been rumored (via GizChina) that even ZTE could be planning on releasing an octa-core chipset of their own.
The chipset will be known as the WiseFone 7550S and is expected to be a “true” octa-core processor. According to the rumors, production is well on its way and could debut as soon as February, just in time for MWC 2014. Unfortunately not much is known about ZTE’s own chipset for now, but word has it that it will use less power compared to the likes of the NVIDIA Tegra 4 and the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800. It will be interesting to see how ZTE’s “true” octa-core chipset performs. Back in 2013 Samsung announced their own brand of octa-core chipsets which used the big.LITTLE technology where only four out of eight cores are used at once, but will swap between the sets of cores depending on how much power is needed.
The difference is that companies such as MediaTek have released octa-core chipsets which will use all 8 cores at once, which is presumably what ZTE is trying to do with their WiseFone 7550S. In any case take it with a grain of salt for now, but hopefully we will learn more about ZTE’s efforts in the upcoming weeks.
