The ZTE Iconic phablet is now available as 'ZTE Boost Max' with Boost Mobile

The ZTE Iconic phablet premieres on US soil and is now available with Boost Mobile, the subsidiary of Sprint. Boost Mobile's version of the mid-range device, which was revealed at CES earlier this month, is dubbed ZTE Boost Max and is priced at $299.99.

The ZTE Boost Max comes with rather underwhelming hardware specs – the device sports a 5.7-inch IPS display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels (which results in a mediocre pixel density of 258 ppi), a dual-core Snapdragon S4 SoC, which is clocked at 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, and an 8MP rear camera. The phablet is also LTE-enabled and comes with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box.

Some of the more interesting features of the device include support for Dolby Digital Sound, as well as the so called Smart Viewer, which allows users to be "running two apps together" on the display. In addition, the 3,200mAh interchangeable battery at the back of the Boost Max would most probably result in a very decent battery life.

If you opt to get the ZTE Boost Max, you can benefit from Boost Mobile's currently ongoing promotion. It's a limited time offer that is valid for new customers only – after you buy and activate one of the select devices, you have to sign up for one of Boost's Monthly Unlimited plans online and pay a full month's payment in advance. After you've followed all these steps, you are eligible to receive a $30 credit on your account. The offer is valid through March 31. You can view additional details about the promotion here.
