ZTE Nubia Z7, Nubia Z7 Max Set for November 18 India Launch

ZTE isn't the only Chinese smartphone manufacturer looking to expand its footprints in India. Chinese telecom giant ZTE will launch two new smartphones in India to better compete against the likes of Samsung and Apple.

ZTE on Wednesday sent out invites for a press event on November 18 in Delhi. The company provided few hints about what will be announced at the launch event, "We're launching two ZTE flagship smartphones, for the first time in India."

Generally, ZTE is expected to launch its much delayed Nubia Z7 and Nubia Z7 Max in India. The company could launch a wearable device at the same press event.
