The gigantic device is packed with modest specifications and carries an affordable price tag of $200 without a contract and at monthly plans starting at $40 via Cricket Mobile from January 9.
Talking of technical specifications, ZTE Grand X Max+ boasts of a 6 inch HD display with a resolution of 1280×720 pixels that will indeed provide only a usable pixel count of 246 ppi and not something exceptional. The handset runs on Android 4.4 KitKat operating system and is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 SoC that uses a quad core Cortex A7 processor at 1.2 GHz, Adreno 305 graphics unit and 2 GB of RAM.
Storage wise, the ZTE phablet makes use of 16 GB of default storage support that can be further expanded externally by another 32 GB using a micro SD card. The primary shooter in the ZTE Grand X Max+ is a 13 MP sensor that is accompanied with LED flash and there is a 5 MP front facing selfie camera for video conferencing. This is a major bump from the 1 MP front facer on the ZTE Grand X Max that was launched last year.
ZTE Grand X Max+ supports 3G LTE connectivity along with the usual ones and houses a 3,200 mAh battery that should pump in 6.5 hours of talk time that is very low.
