ZTE sold 26 million smartphones in the first half of 2015

ZTE is a Chinese handset manufacturer that you’ve probably been reading about more and more in the news, from its recent launch of its Android-powered Spro 2 mobile hotspot/mobile projector on Verizon to the Axon smartphone that it will produce for US customers. In case you were wondering just how big ZTE is, the Chinese company has just announced it has sold over 46 million smartphones, tablets and smart home products in the first half of 2015. 

Smartphones account for around 26 million sales, with around 39% of those being high-end products costing $250 or more. Sales in the US market grew by an impressive 41% in the first half of 2015.

That doesn’t mean that ZTE is hitting its self-imposed targets though, it had originally planned to sell around 80 million smartphones in 2015, but that number has since been rationalised to 60 million. This figure might need to be reduced further still as ZTE’s home-grown rivals (Xiaomi, Huawei, Meizu, etc.) plan on releasing new flagship devices in the second half of 2015. Are you one of the people that bought a ZTE smartphone? If so, would you do so again?
