ZTE is ready to unveil one of the most forward-looking smartphones at MWC 2017. The company will focus on leading 5G evolution, advancing cloudification, creating the Internet of Everything, and developing state of art devices.

ZTE says that the ZTE Gigabit Phone is "revolutionizing connectivity with a new standard of download speeds, 1Gbps, bringing a qualitative leap to a new world of mobile experience by making 360° panoramic VR video, instant cloud storage, entertainment upgrades and fast cache of ultra Hi-Fi music and movies possible."

ZTE didn't provide more information, but the Gigabit Phone will likely use a Snapdragon 835 processor, Qualcomm's first with a gigabit LTE modem.

The only place in the world equipped for such speeds is currently a hot spot in Australia launched by Netgear, Ericsson and local carrier Telstra.

ZTE will also have on display its flagship smartphone, the newly updated Axon 7 with both Android Nougat and Daydream by Google.
