The ZTE Blade V10 Vita launched in February as an affordable entry-level device powered by a Unisoc processor. Going by the timeline it launched, its successor should arrive in February next year during MWC 2020. However, there is a chance the Blade V10’s successor will not launch as the Blade V11 Vita based on ZTE’s recent trademark applications.
ZTE applied for a bunch of trademarks at the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) last week and the database shows there is no device called the Blade V11 Vita. Instead, we have the Blade V12 Vita, the Blade V13 Vita and it goes on up to Blade V18 Vita. There is also no Blade V17 Vita.
It is not unusual for a manufacturer to skip a number when it comes to the naming of their products. Popular examples include OnePlus skipping the OnePlus 4 name and Samsung skipping the Galaxy Note6.
Based on the trademarks, it is safe to say the Blade V10 Vita’s successor will be the Blade V12 Vita. Its specs are unknown and may remain that way up until January 2020 but it should remain an entry-level device.
