ZTE Zmax Phone is not the best smartphone big screen. Even when making allowances for the 5.7-inch screen, it is too heavy and cumbersome to comfortably hold in one hand. The camera is passable, but not great. Measuring 6.4 inches long, 3.3 inches wide and 0.35 inches thick, zmax is a great device that can be unwieldy to use, especially since the top and bottom bezel that adds a hefty amount of mass. The left edge is the volume rocker and microSD card slot expandable up to 32GB. Up top is the 3.5mm headphone jack and the right edge of the SIM card home and power button sleep. The back of the house 8-megapixel camera with flash and a small gap for audio speakers and on top of the screen is a 1.3 megapixel camera, and under three soft buttons for back, home, and settings.

One of ZTE Zmax specs run light-skinned version of Android 4.4.2 KitKat. In addition to search and Google Now voice assistant (which you can access by long pressing the home center softkey), expecting the usual package of useful applications like the browser Google Chrome, Drive, Gmail, Plus, Hangouts, Search, Maps, Photos, and YouTube.

Lastly, to downloaders heavy applications, there is an application and widget called App Source that lets you organize and categorize your applications to make them easier to find.
Advantages and Weaknesses
Photo quality for a decent 8 megapixel ZTE Zmax camera, but not impressive. Although the images are easy to create and apparent overall, I see a lot of objects outside the center focus area becomes blurred with soft edges. Color also seemed calm, and even with adequate lighting, there is a notable amount of digital noise and artifacts. Dark colors are hard to distinguish, and at the time of the flash throwing a bluish hue on a white background. Photo features and tools for both cameras include grid lines, timers, geo-tagging, 4x digital zoom, video shooting interval and were able to take pictures while recording. In addition, the rear-facing camera also features 18 different shooting modes including panorama, HDR, sunset and macro. You can play around with the image on the original gallery app. There, you can crop and rotate images, add decorative borders and clip art, blurs apply tilt-shift and overlay your own doodle and text. What's even better is that Zmax is a decent player as well. Naturally, its specs are not firing on all cylinders. Processors can be slow, and do not run the latest Android OS. But the phone will carry out your basic needs such as making calls (see ZTE Speed) and Web browsing at 4G LTE without much trouble.

Conclusion
ZTE cheap Zmax. Off-contract at T-Mobile, it's only $ 10.50 per month for 24 months, or $ 252 total. And when you consider that the top-tier phablets can run up to $ 750 prepaid, and the mid-range around $ 400. But when you compare the price to other phablets in the market, this device is a lot of very very good off-contract. The $ 616 Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and its successor, the next note 4, for example, is an ultra-powerful handset with many productivity features and smart S Pen. But they are also very expensive, with Note 4 costs almost three times as much as Zmax t mobile phones for sale.
