ZTE ZMAX 2 Specs

Description

The main highlight of the ZTE ZMAX 2 is its massive, 5.5-inch, 720x1280-pixel display, which, indeed, is a very large panel, considering the fact that the ZMAX 2 is a pre-paid phone offered through AT&T. Then come some other goodies that make the ZMAX 2 sound relevant on paper, such as the 8 MP camera, 3000 mAh battery, 2 GB RAM, 4G LTE, and a 1.2 GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor. Supposedly, the ZTE ZMAX 2 might be able to deliver a pretty decent battery life, having in mind the decent battery capacity, 720x1280-pixel screen resolution, and relatively modest processor clock rate. The phone is based on Android 5.1.

This device is also known as ZTE Z958
