7.0

Description

The Blade X Max sports a huge, 6-inch full HD display, which, combined with its 3,400 mAh battery and low-power Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 SoC, promises a considerable battery life, which ZTE claims can reach up to 17.7 hours of talk time and a whopping 241 hours in standby mode. The device also sports 2 GB of RAM, as well as 32 GB of internal storage, though the latter can be expanded via SD card.

This device is also known as ZTE Z983

Hackers delight phone
Phone owned for more than a year

Anything can turn the Wi-Fi on. I find that while I'm driving, this Wi-Fi screen would pop up several times a day. You can not block any Wi-Fi/internet providers especially Comcast. The keyboard on this phone always auto predict the wrong words at the last minute, right before you press SEND! THE APPS CRASHES ALOT! The phone runs hot all of the time. The there are apps that you can't delete which is a direct link for a smart individual to hack! You can not block... phones calls regular and spam text messages, Wi-Fi, viruses. This phone can not trace calls either. The Bluetooth shuts itself of by itself. One thing that I like is the wide screen. Even the sound quality will wear down, which will lead to buying a wireless Bluetooth speaker in order to hear some videos!

All in all, a great phone!
Phone owned for less than a year

This is my second ZTE phone. I love them! It has a couple of issues, but they can be dealt with easily. (My first ZTE lasted 17 months before the charging port became too loose to charge.)

Cons and my solutions:
1. Text too quickly and the phone thinks it's a quick-3 to enlarge the screen. Annoying when you are a fast texter! To be fair, I haven't talked to the mfr to see if this can be resolved.
2. Photo color isn't always true. I have to adjust the color after the photo is taken, depending on the light.
3. Re: The review on freezing: My phone froze several times/day when I first bought it. It seems to do with how many apps you have running in the background, and how hot the phone gets. I downloaded AIO's "All-In-One Toolbox", and that took care of 98% the problem.

There are a lot of ZTE's out there with cracked displays. Spend the money to get a good case! And this phone has gorilla glass, which I also covered with a screensaver.

I would buy ZTE again, and of course get the next generation, always!

Big Bang For The Buck.
Phone owned for less than a month

OctaCore Processor. 2 gb ram. Not bad for just over $100 & Unlimited data by Cricket Mobile. It's got a great UI speed, and the display is pure with codecs. Camera is great on back. Grainy on front IMHO. Call Quality is decent, and picks up in normally dead areas. Good Reception. 128 GB Expandable makes it worth it. Can't wait for the rootkit :)
