ZTE has alreadyconfirmed plans to launch a smartwatchbased onAndroid Wear 2.0later this year. Today, a new report claims to have the first image of that watch, which it says will be called the ZTE Quartz.
The report and image comes fromVentureBeatand noted gadget leaker Evan “@evleaks” Blass. The report doesn’t have much more information on the ZTE Quartz, but a recent Bluetooth certification listing for the device confirmed it will have cellular wireless hardware. Previously, Lixin Cheng, chairman and CEO of ZTE USA, stated in an interview that the watch would support LTE connections, meaning it could be used without the need of a smartphone to make and receive. He also indicated that the company has already lined up a major US wireless carrier to sell the watch, but declined to give that name.
The image does show that the ZTE Quartz will have a circular watch face, and it possibly could have a number of different watch band color options to choose from. Hopefully we will learn more about the smartwatch, including more specific hardware details and pricing, in the very near future.
