Comparisons Featuring ZTE Zmax 2
Short Review
- The ZTE Zmax 2 features a simple design with dimensions of 153.9 x 76 x 9.4 mm and a weight of 170.1g, making it manageable for one-handed use.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 267 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU and 2GB of RAM, which handles everyday applications adequately.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is basic for selfies.
- The 3000 mAh battery provides decent longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 5.1 Lollipop, it can be upgraded to 6.0.1 Marshmallow, offering a straightforward user experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device has a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack for audio needs.
- Overall, the ZTE Zmax 2 is a functional device with essential features but limited in advanced capabilities.
