That's hardly ever a question for Android OEMs. And, in the case of some Chinese manufacturers, that mark of software differentiation comes in the form of three dimensions. We've already seen Huawei (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Huawei/) trot out its (optional) 3D UX for the Ascend P line (http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/09/huawei-ascend-p1-s-and-p1-hands-on/), and now it appears ZTE's (http://www.engadget.com/tag/zte/)ready to follow suit with a custom interface powered by Rightware. The Kanzi UI, as it's called, will come pre-loaded on all of the company's smartphones currently shipping with Ice Cream Sandwich, treating users to a 3D homescreen experience and giving developers a unified platform to port their designs.
