A major player in the mobile market and world’s fourth largest manufacturer, ZTE Mobile announces the availability of Skate 4.3 smartphone locally following its global roll out in Brazil, Spain, U.K. France, Malaysia, Indonesia, China and in the United States
The competitively priced Skate is a slim 11.35 mm thick, has a large 4.3 inch TFT (thin film transistor) capacitive display with a resolution of 480 x 800 and weighs just 148g. Its design style is inspired by the skateboard and it runs on Android 2.3. The Skate provides a user-friendly interface with practical and powerful multimedia capabilities.
“We at ZTE are extremely enthusiastic about the launch of the Skate smartphone in the Philippines,” said James Chen, president of ZTE Philippines. “The Skate is a building block upon the success of our Blade model and is an important step forward for ZTE’s entry into the middle-to-high end smartphone market.”
“ZTE’s strategic move into the smartphone market in 2011 has played a major part in the company achieving the No. 4 position among the world’s handset manufacturers. Smart terminal products sales in the same period were 400 percent up on the first half of 2011, with U.S. sales up 300 percent.
The ZTE Skate is expected to build on the success of the ZTE Blade smartphone, which has been the company’s flagship product for the last 12 months. Over three million Blade handsets have been sold in more than 50 countries worldwide. The Blade has recently become the biggest-selling Android smartphone in China, averaging more than 17,000 units per day.
