Got ideas for the perfect phone? ZTE wants to pick your brains
ZTE launches its Project CSX initiative, an entirely crowdsourced phone designed by fans.
Think you know what it takes to make a great phone? Apparently ZTE thinks you know. too.
Originally announced earlier this year during CES 2016, ZTE finally launched Project CSX today. Project CSX is a crowd-sourced initiative where fans submit ideas for the the company's next phone.
Users can submit their ideas through ZTE's forum, Z-Community, and up-vote other ideas that they like. If you submit the best idea you can win cash prizes, a trip to CES 2017 in Las Vegas or early access to the final product.
There are some guidelines, however. Ideas for Project CSX have to relate to a mobile product. The technology must be plausibly achievable by 2017, and the final device must be affordable to the masses. (There goes my idea of a phone made only of caviar and angel tears -- womp, womp.)
