ZTE is targeting the emerging 4G LTE mobile market and the Chinese phone-maker has announced two new smartphones with fast mobile broadband LTE support ahead of Mobile World Congress. According to ZTE, these will be two of many new devices to sport 4G LTE radios in the future.

The first device is a more premium offering known as the PF200 and the second device is the N910, which should be a more budget-friendly Android smartphone.

The PF200 will be geared towards GSM networks that also support LTE, such as AT&T’s network in the U.S., though ZTE did not announce which carriers the PF200 will arrive on. The phone will have a 4.3-inch qHD resolution capacitive touchscreen display and will support LTE, UMTS, and GSM networks. The phone will also have support for near field communications (NFC) technology and from the press release, it’s unclear if the device will come with a 1.2 or 1.5 GHz CPU. The PF200 supports an 8-megapixel rear camera and 1080p front-facing camera. The phone will launch with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and what appears to be a ZTE-made skin on top of Android.

The second handset is the N910, which is geared more towards CDMA networks that support 4G LTE. As such, the device will support LTE FDD, CDMA, and EVDO networks. The phone has a lower WVGA resolution display and a 5-megapixel camera rather than the 8-megapixel on the PF200.
