ZTE ZMax Pro - Pros & Cons

Speeds were excellent and meant the phone was able to stream video and music over
a premium experience and powerful performance at an affordable price point
controls are simple to find and use effectively
Data performance was quite good
viewing angles
too
The 13-megapixel rear camera is surprisingly good
offers lots solid value for its low price
Transmissions are clear and natural
Viewing angles are also good
Snapdragon 617 chip makes perfect sense in powering this affordable smartphone
simple
smooth and responsive
its smooth rubber backing and gives better grip
great lightning and some HDR
s pretty streamlined and straightforward
ZMax Pro is just fine
the sensor is still accurate and fast
Performance on the sensor is also great
the camera works well
ZMax Pro is a good fit
bright
vivid
and has plenty of color
ZMax Pro looks just fine

My thumb can barely stretch across half the display
it jammed into my leg every time I sat down
The fingerprint reader is recessed a bit
there'll be no swapping out batteries on this one
The camera module protrudes just a little bit
Blu R1 HD may cost half as much
lower-resolution display and a slower processor
are noticeably slow to render and controls
the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone
a phone doesn t mean having to endure a costly investment
nor the accompanying hardware they re just as ordinary as any other low priced phone
there s a noticeable level of over-sharpening
it has an extremely colder color temperature than most at roughly
slow things down
make the UI harder to use
signal reception indoors
it was still pretty annoying to come back to the phone and find a huge ad
it is a tad invasive
Battery life is very sensitive to changes in screen brightness
come out too sharp and anything illuminating comes out blurry
device may be too hot or have other apps running in the background
this setting cannot be enforced by the benchmark app
too much phone to handle
the camera is horrible
A dark
dreary dog is really not dark or dreary
the phone is not unlocked
rose gold plastic accents around the phone
getting harder and harder to find a bad phone nowadays
in low lit scenarios the camera is really bad
Camera performance was also slow
Nor does it fit in my car s cupholder
low bar set by the benchmark results were mirrored in daily use

ZTE ZMAX Pro Review - is a $100 smartphone worth buying?

There's a stigma that the more you pay, the better something is but the ZTE Z Max Pro aims to prove a low price doesn't mean low quality. Does it deliver?
