ZTE is now the fourth-largest smartphone maker in America

ZTE isn’t exactly a household name in the United States, but that hasn’t stopped the Chinese handset maker from taking an 8% share of the American smartphone market in the second quarter of this year. According to IDC, ZTE’s market share in the United States has increased from 4.2% in the first quarter of 2014, which means the company is now the fourth most successful handset maker in the United States at the moment, behind Apple, Samsung, and LG.
