   Stylish, Tough & Smart "STS" Series for the Active Generation

BEIJING, Aug. 15, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zoom Technologies Inc.
(Nasdaq:ZOOM), a leading China based manufacturer of mobile phones and
related electronic products, today unveiled a new series of 3G "ZOOM"
branded stylish, yet rugged, smart phones. Based on Zoom's license of
3G technology from Qualcomm, the new handsets incorporate the latest
design in ruggedizing up to the IP-68 standard that protects the
internal circuitry from mishaps including complete water submersion at
1.5 meters for 30 minutes, dust intrusion, vibration and shock from
dropping at normal working heights. Apart from current rugged phones in
the market today which are often housed in a thick rubber casing, the
Zoom devices flaunt a sleek, stylish, colorful and sporting exterior.
The new "STS" Series smartphones will incorporate the popular Android
OS, providing an open platform for the endless supply of apps available
online today. Three new models: Camper Q1, Camper Q2 and Surfer Q3, are
targeted for release in the fourth quarter of 2011. The launching of
these new "ZOOM" branded devices will be a cornerstone for the Company,
offering the newest generation of rugged phones, attractive in both
appearance and price to the world markets, including China, Asia,
Europe and the United States.
