ZTE had recently announced that it would be appointing a new brand ambassador to represent the company and its products. While it was assumed it would’ve been a prominent figure, it has now been confirmed that the brand has chosen the Chinese actress Liu Haocun.

The smartphone maker made the announcement earlier today (5th February 2021) on its official Weibo account, a Chinese microblogging website. The move from ZTE to appoint the actress as the new brand ambassador arrives to appeal more to the youth demographic of its home country, China. For those unaware, Liu Haocun is a relatively new face in the Chinese cinema industry and already have a couple of notable movies under her belt.

This includes her debut film, “One Second”, the spy thriller movie “Above the Cliff”, and her most recent work in “Send You A Little Red Flower” (as per translation). For her debut, the Chinese actress even received an award for having the most potential actor of the year. Furthermore, the company’s President Ni Fei stated that making her the brand ambassador would help appeal to the youth in the country and even welcomed her on the behalf of the brand.

2021 is said to be a crucial year for the Chinese tech giant. The company is aiming on launching new gadgets across various product line while also investing in local channels and brands. It is also focusing on expanding its presence and brand image, so it makes sense that the company would bring in a popular actress to help push its brand and its products.

ZTE announced the Axon M flagship back in October, and the phone is available for purchase only in the US right now. The company had promised a release in other markets like China and Europe, and it looks like ZTE is going to launch the phone in the home country real soon. The ZTE Axon M has just been certified by TENAA, confirming its launch in China in the coming weeks.

It looks like isn’t any difference between the international version and the Chinese Axon M version. The phone comes with 150.8 x 71.64 x 12.10 dimensions and 230 grams weight. Given the two screen design, the bulky form factor and the heavy weight is not surprising. The two screens feature the same size and resolution: 5.2-inch 1920 x 1080p. So, unlike the 18:9 displays that have taken over the flagship market, this dual screen phone still sticks with a traditional 16:9 aspect ratio for both its screens. Other features of the phone include SD821, 4GB / 6GB of RAM, 64GB/ 128GB storage (expandable up to 128GB), 20MP single camera, and Android 7.1.2.

Despite its bulky profile, the two screen design has garnered praises from fans. So, it will be interesting to see the phone’s reception in the company’s home country, China. Currently, the Axon M is priced at $725 in the US, but it could be cheaper in China at launch.

The company will also showcase the device at CES 2018 which will be held from 9 January to 12 January in Las Vegas.
