About ZTE

ZTE is a telecommunications equipment company that also makes consumer devices, and the order matters: the network business - the base stations and core equipment carriers buy - is the larger half, and the phones grew out of it. That heritage shows in what it is strongest at. ZTE has long been a significant supplier of mobile broadband hardware, the routers and dongles carriers hand out with a data contract, and much of its phone volume has come through carrier channels rather than retail. The company was founded in 1985 in Shenzhen. Its former subsidiary nubia, established in 2012 and reported as becoming a separate company in 2015, sells gaming-focused phones and is not described here as a current ZTE brand: the relationship after 2015 is not something that can be established from public sources.
