  • Its build dimensions are 166.1 x 84.6 x 8.4 mm, weighing 175 grams, and it is available in black.
  • Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 chipset with an octa-core CPU and 2GB of RAM, which supports basic multitasking and app usage.
  • The camera setup includes a 16 MP rear camera with phase detection autofocus and a 2 MP depth sensor, capable of recording 1080p video, while an 8 MP front camera is available for selfies.
  • The device is powered by a 4080 mAh battery, supporting 18W charging, but lacks wireless charging capabilities.
  • Running on Android 7.1.1 Nougat, the software experience is straightforward, though not the latest.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and USB Type-C, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The phone does not feature stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio.
  • Overall, the ZTE Blade Z Max offers a solid combination of display, performance, and battery life for everyday use.
