The introduction of ZTE's Gigabit surely marks an important cornerstone for the 5G mobile era.

At the event taking place in Spain, ZTE spokesperson said, "We are thrilled to introduce the world's first smartphone with download speeds up to 1Gbps. With the new device, the way people stay connected will be changed forever." He further added, "Focusing on 5G technologies will be one of the key priorities of ZTE's global development.

ZTE will be very glad to leverage its technology strength and experience in 5G to cooperate with government and business partners to discuss and facilitate the upcoming 5G era."

However, the company has not spoken or released the full specs-sheet of the pre-5G device. Also it may not quite turn out to be a completely 5G device, as the company itself calls it Pre5G device, but for sure it is faster than 4G.
