RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ZTE USA, one of the fastest growing smartphone manufacturers in the U.S.1, announced the launch of the new ZTE Warp Sync. The phone is fourth in a series of highly popular Warp phones that have helped ZTE become the second largest handset manufacturer in the no-contract market2. The ZTE Warp Sync features the highest specs ever delivered for less than $200 at Boost Mobile and will be available on August 26 for $179.99.
“ZTE and Boost Mobile have partnered throughout the development of the Warp series to deliver the best value and innovative technologies that benefit customers most,” said Lixin Cheng, chairman and CEO of ZTE USA. “We are excited to continue that partnership with the launch of the ZTE Warp Sync that provides high-end features at a price you would not expect.”
The no-contract segment is estimated to be 50 percent of the U.S. wireless market by the end of 2015 and better phone offerings to be a main driver of that growth3. ZTE delivered the increasingly popular Boost MAX phablet in January. The ZTE Warp Sync with 4G LTE and Android 4.4.2 KitKat will continue ZTE’s leadership in no-contract wireless where feature-rich smartphones and fast wireless speeds are becoming the norm.
