ZTE is preparing to produce its own low-end smart watches to enter the wearable device market at a low price.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the company plans to launch smart watches early next year. The device will be similar to other smart watches already on the market, such as Samsung's Galaxy Gear, but it is mainly aimed at those price-sensitive consumers. "We are mainly targeting the mainstream market," said Lu Qianhao, head of ZTE's mobile marketing strategy.
ZTE is known for its cheap smartphones. Its ZTE Source is priced at only $ 220, while ZTE Overture is only $ 150. It is reported that the company's upcoming smart watch will only be compatible with ZTE smartphones, but may be compatible with more brands of mobile phones in the future.
In the past year, many technology companies have begun to enter the field of smart watches. Samsung launched the Galaxy Gear in September, and Pebble recently started selling its own smart watches. Other device manufacturers, such as Sony, MarTIan and Qualcomm have also launched their own smart watches, and Apple is said to be developing iWatch, Google (Weibo) is also preparing to launch its own smart watch, and implanted Google Now application. These smart watches that are already on the market are priced between US $ 150-350.
It is reported that ZTE's smart watches will be launched in China first, and then on the US and European markets. As of now, ZTE has not commented on this.
