Z-Community CES 2019

Aerospaceman

Z-Community is doing things a little different this year at CES.

We've brought along a few tech YouTubers who are also community members to tell the story. 



[Arrival in Las Vegas]




First things first... What's ZTE bringing to the table in 2019?



[Yes, there will be new phones released this year!]
[Get excited because we are!]



So we checked out some new phones, talked about 2019 and beyond, we even discussed some new programs that
Z-Community has in the works!

Don't forget about the newly released Blade Max View & Blade Max 2s!

[Shot on the Blade Max View]


We ended our CES trip w/ an executive dinner. Here's where the group got some insight into what the rest of 2019 holds for ZTE.





Keep an eye out on our Twitter account. You can find it on the right hand side of the homepage. We'll be adding more here as well over on Twitter as time goes on at CES!

I see a hat and a bottle of water on the table, so I am guess this year we will see ZTE hats and ZTE branded bottle waters:). Excited to see what is coming...

Glad to see some community members representing at CES this year. Some old faces and some new ones as well. Hope the conversations are going well. Can't wait to see what 2019 holds for ZTE.

I met a few of the community members last night. I have to say there are some good people in our community! Here is a photo taken in auto mode with my Blade Max 2s.

So how is the Blade Max 2s in comparison to Axon 7?

Tells us more about the Nubia Red Magic Mars.

@swehes Nubia devices are not part of the ZTE lineup. 

Nubia is independent of ZTE.

Didn't hear anything about a new phone. Anything on this or will we hear about it in Barcelona?

Sounds like from some media reports after CES new devices are coming.  No timeline or markets released yet.  Including a 5G phone.

@jasonscarter I heard those same rumors, but the link you posted goes to a 404 page not found error. You might want to double check that link.

Google's AMP stuff is messed up.  https://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/zte-says-it-will-launch-a-5g-smartphone-in-first-half-of-2019-1975271

Looks awesome! Can't wait to see what's in store for the future.

@jasonscarter nice find. Thanks for posting the link. I'm patiently waiting to see what ZTE brings this year. I am most interested in the new Axon.

It was a good meet-up.

Not excited about the 5G with all the health issues it will bring. Looking forward to see what new Axon they are bringing to the table though.

Health issues?

rasalon

I think @swehes is referring to radiation that people worry about with cell phone signals in general. I am not one of those people. Since Axon is ZTE's high end flagship brand, I am looking forward to new Axon devices. Lets just hope they actually bring them to the US and soon unlike the Axon 9 Pro from last year. If ZTE is only bringing mid tear and starter devices to the US which is fine and they are great devices if they keep them updated. If I want flagship secs like the A7 had I may have to look elsewhere. Now that we have an official word that there will be no more updates security and other wise for the A7.
