ZTE unveiled what it said is the world's first smartphone capable of download speeds reaching up to 1Gbps.
The Gigabit Phone uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon system-on-a-chip with an integrated Snapdragon X16 LTE modem, providing support for a combination of carrier aggregation, 4x4 MIMO antenna technology and 256-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).
ZTE said the Gigabit Phone can provide download speeds up to 10 times faster than first-generation LTE devices. The device is also three times as powerful at improving data processing capabilities in the current network, and forms a key component of ZTE's evolution to 5G.
