We are getting closer and closer to achieving this goal, and we’re doing so by offering great handsets with competitive features that deliver benefits beyond their price brackets."€

"€œTelcel is proud and eager to further our strategic partnership with ZTE, now offering to our customers this new smartphone that provides top quality at an affordable price. We are certain that this handset will make more people use the Telcel 4G Network and enjoy all the benefits of the fastest network with the largest coverage,"€ said Marcos Linares, Subdirector of Corporate Marketing at Telcel.

Through its partnership with Telcel, ZTE is able to make the Blade V6 widely available to customers, offering Telcel's 4G network on an affordable premium handset that packs the latest specifications and hardware.
