You might not be familiar with the ZTE brand on smartphones, but the company’s been making phones for the likes of Vodacom for a while now.
It’s also got its own brand of capable handsets, with the Axon 7 Mini available in South Africa via MTN.

Much like Huawei and its Honor brand, ZTE has its own sub-brand, dubbed Nubia. More recently, the company has launched the Nubia Z17, packing a variety of impressive tech into its waterproof body.
There’s a Snapdragon 835 chip, up to 8GB of RAM and a 12MP+23MP dual camera pairing. Not too shabby then.
But could we see the brand in South Africa?
“Nubia is currently in discussion with local partners about it,” a representative for the brand told Gearburn in response to the aforementioned question.
“The official launch in other countries will be announced when there’s confirmation,” the representative added.
