The Chinese mobile phone provider, ZTE announced on Tuesday that it will use the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week to launch its new Grand Memo II, as well as the new ZTE Open C smartphone with Firefox OS 1.3, and a new MiFavor 2.3 interface.

ZTE is a world leader in telecommunications equipment, as well as network solutions and is one of the fastest growing smartphone producers in the world.

The company's General Director of Mobiles and the Executive Vice-President of the corporation, Adam Zeng commented that this year the company was working to collaborate more closely with its clients throughout the world and developing products.

He added that during the 2014 Mobile World Congress, which opens in Barcelona on February 24 and closes on February 27, the company would present these new devices in collaboration with Mozilla and Spanish telecommunications giant Telefonica, which is the biggest network provider in Spain and which has a massive presence in Latin America and other parts of the world.

"We are certain 2014 will be our year," said Zeng.

ZTE will use the MWC to show off its full range of mobile devices, among which are the Grand S II smartphone, the Blad range and the Nubia range, which in December last year outsold Apple, Samsung and Nokia on the Jingdong.com online store in China.

The company will also be displaying devices for mobile hotspots and a new smartwatch.
