ZTE Boost Max+ launches in the US for $199.99 (off contract)

Boost Mobile this week released a new Android smartphone manufactured by ZTE. Called Boost Max+ by ZTE, the new device replaces the ZTE Max, a handset that's been available at Boost since early 2014.

Just like its predecessor, the Boost Max+ is a very large smartphone, thanks to the fact that it sports a 5.7-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels. Also like its predecessor, the new smartphone is relatively affordable, being sold for $199.99 off contract (Boost Mobile doesn't offer contracts anyway).

The ZTE Boost Max+ runs Android 5.1 Lollipop, and is powered by a quad-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz (Boost doesn't specify exactly what processor this is, but it could be a Snapdragon 410). The new handset also features LTE connectivity, Dolby Digital Plus virtual surround sound, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal memory, and a 3400 mAh non-removable battery. On the back, the Max+ has an 8 MP rear camera (without LED flash, it seems), while a 1 MP camera is situated on the front. Any takers?
