CALABASAS, Calif. (March 31, 2014) - DTS, Inc. (Nasdaq: DTSI), a leader in high-definition audio solutions and audio enhancement technologies today announced that nubia, a premium smartphone brand of ZTE Corporation, will be releasing the all-new X6 smartphone featuring support for immersive content delivered with soundtracks encoded using DTS-HD® technology.

"nubia X6 is the first flagship smartphone in our new X-series under the nubia brand," said Ni Fei, nubia GM. "We wanted to provide our customers with a product that was the perfect combination of form and function. By adding support for DTS-HD technology, the X6 became more than just a smartphone with exceptional multimedia capabilities, it transcended into a pocket-sized entertainment hub that customers can watch content on directly, or use to power their home theater systems."

Benefits of the DTS-HD Technology:

  • Decodes the highest quality audio streams available from digital delivery, VOD, OTT and broadcast sources

"By incorporating this advanced technology into the X6, nubia is providing their connected customers with a device that is not only powerful enough to deliver a stellar mobile entertainment experience, but when connected to a home theater system, can also translate that experience, complete with cinema-quality surround sound, to the big screen."
