ZTE Blade X Max: Design
New smartphone ZTE Blade X Max looks uninteresting. Nowadays every company makes try to make something interesting and attractive in appearance of smartphones, but ZTE don’t follow this trend.
The smartphone seemed to come to us from 2010-2013: frames take a lot of space on the screen. Although smartphone is made of metal, it is stylized for some cheap plastic. The navigation buttons are circles. In other words, we are very upset with the design ZTE Blade X Max.
ZTE Blade X Max: Screen
Screen is the reason why smartphone received the prefix Max. It’s 6-inch with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. Unfortunately, because of the huge frames, smartphone looks very huge. We hope that at least the thickness will be little.
ZTE Blade X Max: Performance
The performance of ZTE Blade X Max is also not at the highest level. Processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 is built on 28nm process technology. It contains 8 cores Cortex-A53 with a maximum frequency of 1.4GHz. I’m glad that the processor architecture is 64-bit, not 32, because 32-bit is already very outdated.
Thanks to the graphics accelerator Adreno 505, the smartphone gets about 41000 scores in benchmarks. It allows you to play some unproductive games. You can try heavy games, but only at medium settings.
As for the Internet, you can use it comfortably, as the chipset supports LTE Cat.7. Also chipset supports fast charging Quick Charge 3.0.
The battery with a capacity of 3400mAh will be discharged for a day, maybe even on a full day will not be enough because of the huge screen.
ZTE Blade X Max has 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal memory. The built-in memory can be expanded to 64GB. By the way, here you can use 2 SIM cards, and you do not even have to sacrifice a slot for a microSD card.
3.5mm headphone jack has left, as for charging you can use the new-fashioned USB Type-C port.
As for cameras, there are two modules: one at 13MP at the rear panel, another at 5MP in front.
ZTE Blade X Max runs on the latest version Android 7.0 Nougat.
ZTE Blade X Max: Price and release date
The smartphone will go on sale very soon. The price will be about $ 150. A brand new smartphone from ZTE is really not bad. But we think that in practiсe it will have bad performance and low quality display. But we can not say exactly until we make a full review ZTE Blade X Max.
