ZTE Hackathon

Be the first to hack the new Axon M dual screen smartphone from ZTE at the upcoming droidcon SF event Nov. 5-6.  Register your team here and get started hacking.  

ZTE challenges you to create or optimize an application for the new ZTE Axon M smartphone with dual screens. Your application must optimized for one or both of the following two modes:

1. Extended Mode – One application is extended across both screens, effectively operating as a tablet application on a 6.75” screen. This provides a user with more space for a single app.

2. Dual Mode – Two applications are used on two separate screens. This mode provides a user with the ability to multitask while viewing and operating both applications at the same time. For example, the user can watch a video on one screen and write a message in social media on the other screen. For the ZTE Hackathon, you will only be judged on the appy our develop and how it performs in dual screen mode and potentially on the interaction with a second app running in dual screen mode.

Apps can be submitted in the following categories:

1.  Education

2. Entertainment

3. Productivity and Tools

Prizes:

For each app category (Education, Entertainment, Productivity / Tools), the following prizes will be awarded:

• 1st Prize: $1000 Amazon gift card per team

• 2nd Prize: $1000 Amazon gift card per team

• 3nd Prize: $500 Amazon gift card per team
