On the back of the phone is a fingerprint reader for extra user security. Unfortunately, because the ZMax Pro doesn't have an NFC chip, you can't use services like Android Pay.

As mentioned before, the ZTE ZMax Pro is only available on one carrier for the time being. Its battery also takes a while to get fully juiced up and there's no NFC chip. However, for $100, it's an incredibly affordable phone. For more info, check out CNET's full review.
