Is ZTE falling into the same trap as its competition once did?

If you asked me last year if I would have ever considered using a ZTE smartphone as my daily driver, I probably would have chuckled, realized you might actually be serious, then answered with a solid, “No.” It’s not that ZTE is a bad manufacturer. But it has never been known for high-end flagship smartphones, something I’m admittedly a sucker for. Instead, ZTE is globally known for its prepaid and budget smartphone offerings.

ZTE Nubia 5 Unboxing: finally somebody gets the box right

We weren’t planning on filming an unboxing of the ZTE Nubia 5 because it has been out for a while, and the package took a long time to get here.
