ZTE Could Sell Its Smartphone Business For Over $5 Billion

ZTE has rejected reports suggesting it is negotiating to move its smartphone business into a new joint venture valued at around $5.6 billion. The Chinese telecommunications giant denied the claims to multiple Chinese news outlets on November 3, stating the reports were inaccurate. The original report claimed ZTE was set to involve a major internet company and Shanghai state-owned investors in the proposed restructuring, with the smartphone operations set to be jointly owned.

The company's denial leaves no confirmed agreement or transaction terms regarding the $5.6 billion valuation or the proposed $1.1 billion investment.
