Last but month the rumor mill spurted out an interesting tidbit – Chinese phone maker ZTE might be looking to unveil a ground breaking phone concept at MWC 2017 in Barcelona.
And as we get closer to the grand event, more information related to the phone has appeared online via a report from The Verge. In January we couldn’t tell you much about the elusive phone, but now we can even reveal its name.
The device will be launched into the wild as the ZTE Gigabit Phone – and as the name indicates, it will be the world’s first gigabit phone capable of downloading speeds up to 1Gbps (at least on paper). And while we might have to wait until proper 5G devices make an appearance on the market, ZTE’s upcoming device represents a firm step into that direction.
ZTE says the phone will be able to shoot 360-degree VR, 4K video and offer instant cloud storage too. However, we’re not provided with any information about the device’s specifications.
We can only speculate that the ZTE Gigabit Phone will come equipped with a Snapdragon 835 under the hood, given that Qualcomm announced the high-end chipset will include a gigabit LTE-capable X16 modem.
The ZTE Gigabit Phone will most likely turn out to be a premium handset featuring high-end specs. A while ago, ZTE disappointed fans when it announced the experimental ZTE Hawkeye handset will come equipped with middle range specifications including a Snapdragon 625 chipset.
Hopefully, ZTE won’t make the same mistake again, as the ZTE Gigabit Phone has a very high chance of attracting customers’ interest.

It’s important to be able to practice by verbally applying what you have learned or you risk forgetting it all. Well a new app for Android called Verbling aims to take care of this problem.
Getting started with Verbling is quite easy: all you need to do is decide which language you want to start learning and then start browsing available teacher profiles and introductory videos so you can select the best teacher for you. Students can purchase as many lessons with a particular teacher as they want. Schedules can be arranged based on the availability of the students.
While engaged in a lesson, students can see their teachers face to face, but unlike standard video calling apps like Skype, Verbling’s video conferences features a workspace section where teachers can easily share documents, flashcards and other educative material.
Learning a new language can turn into a tedious and frustrating affair, but luckily startups like Verbling are leveraging advances in mobile technology to make the process much more enjoyable. Are you ready to start learning a new language today?

The Tap isn’t usually on by default, but the new feat will require the mic to say always-on.
You should also consider that audio quality on the Echo will be slightly better than the Tap. So if you’re mainly interested in speaker function, you should probably go with the Echo. But otherwise, the Tap is definitely the best option to choose – it’s cheaper, more portable and it has Alexa onboard too.
