of its top-class design, which is based on ZTE’s ‘minimalist design
philosophy’.
Eyeprint ID™ will feature in upcoming devices in ZTE’s Grand
series, and will soon be integrated with mobile payment and other
applications. The enhanced privacy offered by Eyeprint ID™
positions devices in ZTE’s Grand series among the most secure
devices for business users in the market. To date, devices in ZTE’s
Grand series have sold more than 5 million units globally,
including the Grand S, Grand Memo, Grand Memo 5S, Grand S2, and
