ZTE teases 'advanced gaming smartphone' set for availability in six days

[![ZTE teases 'advanced gaming smartphone' set for availability in six days][1] ][2]ZTE must be onto us, for we love a good mystery. The company took to Twitter to tease "one of the most advanced gaming smartphones," which it says will be in customer hands just six days from now.

While the Era boasts only a 4.3-inch qHD display, it was said to arrive during the second half of this year -- might the stars simply be aligning with a bit of marketing fluff?
