Adam Zheng, the former CEO of ZTE mobile division might be joining Xiaomi as the Vice President of the company and the Mobile Phone Department President, according to a new report.
Adam Zheng resigned from ZTE back in 2017 and has 20 years’ worth of experience in the industry. His portfolio includes notable roles in various top brands including Sharp, ZTE, and more. Now, a new rumor has suggested that he has also been appointed by Xiaomi to lead the research and development and production of its smartphone offerings.

Notably, Zheng had founded Huixin Communication, a joint venture between the local government and scientific groups. Xiaomi had invested in this joint venture which focused on developing cutting edge technology and improve the 5G infrastructure as well. Furthermore, Xiaomi has been actively recruiting various high ranking officials from different companies since last year.
Thus, the move of hiring a former ZTE mobile division CEO could be a part of the same plan. For those unaware, Xiaomi has recruited individuals like Lu Weibing, Gionee President, Chang Cheng, the Lenovo Mobile Phone business founder, and others. According to a Xiaomi official, “Only by continuously introducing external talents can our team be full of vitality.”
