ZTE, a leading telecommunications company in China, recently obtained certification from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for a new 5G smartphone with the model number "ZTE 7543N”. The phone, which doesn't yet have a commercial name, features a simple and refined design, with a circular camera module on the back that resembles that of some high-end models.
ZTE certifies a new 5G smartphone, but the first specifications are a disappointment
However, despite the premium look, the phone seems to have some rather modest specifications. According to information released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the phone has only a dual rear camera, while the other two holes in the circular module are occupied by a flashlight and the word "AI". Also, the phone only supports the 5 W charging, which is far below current standards for 5G smartphones.
It is not yet known what the other features of the phone are, such as the processor, memory, screen and battery. However, it is likely a low-end or mid-range model, intended for an audience looking for a low-cost 5G experience. The phone could also be a exclusive to the Chinese market, where ZTE has a stronger presence than other countries.
Recall that ZTE is known for its sub-brands nubian e Red Magic, which focus on high-end smartphones with high performance and gaming features. These phones are more popular with consumers than parent company ZTE's products, which are more discreet and conventional. However, ZTE continues to produce and launch new models under its main brand, trying to compete with other Chinese manufacturers such as Huawei, Xiaomi and Oppo.
ZTE is expected to officially announce its new 5G smartphone with circular camera module in the coming weeks or months. The phone is hoped to offer good quality and value for money so as to appeal to consumers who want to experience 5G connectivity without breaking the bank.
