I went through 4 because three were borrowed and never returned to me. Watching movies and listening to movies was awesome! The phone was fast with lots of storage even without micro SD card. The camera was ok But not anything to brag about. moreI bought my first one 2 months after they were launched in September of 2016 and had no problems.īattery was amazing and it charged pretty fast too! I just paid for a 3800 mAh battery and the battery life is much better.Īnonymous, I was ripped of by Metro Pcs.they new about the legal. The 3200 mAh battery on this phone started to become weak. The battery was bigger but that's about it. they downgraded the screen because it looks more washed out and the microphone sounded horrible. I tested that phone and it was a DOWNGRADE from the Zmax Pro. They actually updated this phone, it was called the Blade Z Max. the phone served me very well as an entertainment device and it's better than getting an in iPad mini which has very low end specs.
the price is actually unbelievable for the hardware specs you're getting.
The phone originally was $179.99 full price but only $100 if you sign up with an account. it's only 2GB of RAM and if you have too much apps in the background, it'll shut down apps you have running in the background. One of my biggest issues was the small RAM size. the phone can be fast sometimes but it also can be slow sometimes. The processor is not too bad, it's a Snapdragon 617 which is better than the cheap MediaTek CPUs other phones had. and the hardware was really impressive, 32GB storage which was more generous than other budget flagships at the time which only had 16GB. this phone had a USB C port which was unheard of at the time for a budget phone. for a budget midrange phone, the hardware specs blew away other budget phones at the time. When I first saw this phone, I was very impressed by the quality of the screen and the microphone was really good. the soundcard on the phone kinda sucks but the Dolby sound enhancement software makes up for it. The phone also has a headphone jack and what also surprised me was the inclusion of the Dolby digital plus software which greatly enhances the sound and it's very noticeable. The screen is big enough to enjoy watching videos on and also reading ebooks.
I wanted a budget Android tablet but they were all awfully slow and had very small storage capacities. I bought this phone instead of getting a tablet. I bought this phone for $100 at Metro PCS.
