ZTE introduced its latest 4G LTE device, known as the ZMax, at a New York press event today. The handset is available for T-Mobile customers (and MetroPCS users later on this year), for $0 down with 24 monthly payments of $10.50 -- bringing the total off-contract price to $252.
The device is equipped with respectable innards, which include a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, an Adreno 305 GPU, and a sizable 3,200mAh battery.
The handset's 0.35-inch profile keeps the handset lightweight and comfortable. Its straight edges and sharp corners render it aesthetically more
pleasing and modern-looking than ZTE's last big-screen handset, the Boost Max (which was thicker too).
In addition to its expansive LCD display, the ZMax features a 1,280x720-pixel resolution. This isn't the sharpest screen, especially in comparison to the 5.7-inch, quad-HD enabled Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
For your casual camera needs, it's equipped with an 8-megapixel
rear-facing shooter that's capable of recording 1080p video, and a
1-megapixel front-facing camera.
Though we'll know more about the device when we get a chance to review it thoroughly, its solid build quality coupled with the fact that it costs just a bit
over $250, makes ZMax a decent prepaid value so far. For more on ZTE's other handsets, click here.
