We're fairly confident a budget-friendly ZTE ZMax Pro 2 is right around the corner, running Android 7.1 Nougat out the box, and packing an SD625 SoC.

Before the ZMax Pro made all those headlines with its almost absurdly low price, surprisingly modern fingerprint reader, decent build, massive screen and overall respectable specs, ZTE joined AT&T last year in releasing a similarly dirt-cheap ZMax 2 Android phone.
This was obviously far less exciting, although still a solid budget affair for a few months, costing at one point just $60 with GoPhone prepaid service while featuring a 5.5-inch 720p display, quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB expandable storage, 8MP rear-facing camera, and 3000mAh battery.
No longer a very smart buy at $60 in “certified like-new” condition from America’s second largest mobile carrier, the ZTE ZMax 2 is at least rewarding its devoted early adopters with a long overdue official Android 6.0 Marshmallow update.
Granted, that’s now more than a year old, not to mention antiquated by the recent rollout of versions 7.0 and even 7.1 Nougat. But for a previous-generation low-ender, it’s actually a pleasant surprise, guaranteeing a relatively smooth user experience for the remainder of its discreet life.
All you need to do to bid adieu for good to (even more) archaic Lollipop software is clear at least 1.1GB internal storage space and make sure you have plenty of battery juice before approving the over-the-air AT&T Marshmallow download and installation. Enjoy!

What a difference $60 can make! That’s how much pricier the ZTE ZMax Pro on T-Mobile is compared to the company’s far lower-end Tempo released earlier this week with exclusive Boost Mobile availability.The $130 ZMax Pro, of course, costs 30 bucks less if you purchase it from and activate it on MetroPCS, but some budget-conscious mobile consumers would rather deal with the “UnCarrier” directly as opposed to its

According to Strategy Analytics, China-based ZTE is currently the fourth largest smartphone supplier in the US and second largest in the no-contract market. That’s clearly thanks to the affordable high-end Axon line first and foremost, though ultra-low-cost prepaid ZMAX and Warp models must have also contributed greatly to the OEM’s rapid recent American rise.The ZTE Warp 7 is available online from Boost Mobile starting today at just $99.99, no lengthy ...

The hard grade of disbelief we give to budget phones out of China these days has to do with the fact that they have fingerprint sensors. Yeah, we know, kinda crazy. It takes a bit more than a few dollars, though, to not only get the component, but get it to work properly and in a decent fashion.Nevertheless, phone after
