ZTE Boost Max+ gets an even larger battery for this second-gen model

Posted on July 20, 2015 by Stephen Schenck

Back in the early days of 2014, ZTE introduced its Boost Max Android smartphone for – who else – Boost Mobile. The mid-ranger wasn’t the most affordable phone we’d ever seen, nor the best-equipped, but it did stand out thanks to one key feature: a killer battery life thanks to marrying those middle-of-the-road specs with a phablet-sized 3200mAh battery. These days the Axon may be ZTE’s big bet in the States, but ...

Is ZTE falling into the same trap as its competition once did?

Posted on February 27, 2014 by Taylor Martin

If you asked me last year if I would have ever considered using a ZTE smartphone as my daily driver, I probably would have chuckled, realized you might actually be serious, then answered with a solid, “No.” It’s not that ZTE is a bad manufacturer. But it has never been known for high-end flagship smartphones, something I’m admittedly a sucker for. Instead, ZTE is globally known for its prepaid and budget smartphone offerings. In fact, as recent as one year ago, ZTE was in a close fight for the position as third largest smartphone manufacturer in the world. It has

Nagy and Jaime Rivera hitting the ground in Barcelona just as this podcast goes under the mic, and we’re here to bring you mobile mavens all the pre-show rumor and speculation that you’ve come to expect.

Plus, Taylor Martin has finally spent enough time with his ...

Boost MAX review: big phone, small performance

Posted on February 20, 2014 by Taylor Martin

ZTE has never been a strong smartphone competitor here in the States, but it aims to change that in 2014. Our own Jaime Rivera reviewed the Nubia 5 back in December, and he was rather smitten with the unlocked device from ZTE. The real question is: can ZTE keep building the momentum with quality devices for the US market? That’s at least the plan with the Boost MAX on the Sprint MVNO Boost Mobile. It wants to provide a sufficient competitor to oversized devices like the Galaxy Note 3 for ...

Boost MAX vs Galaxy Note 3 (Video)

Posted on February 10, 2014 by Taylor Martin

To date, essentially all manufacturers who have attempted to mimic Samsung’s success with the Galaxy Note line of oversized smartphones have done so by packing as many great specifications as possible inside the phone and slapping a premium price tag on it to boot. But not everyone who wants a smartphone-tablet hybrid wants or needs an over the top smartphone. And they may not want to pay premium prices to get such a phone. Much smaller phones, like the Moto G, have impressively replicated the performance and experience ...

Pocketnow Weekly 082: HTC M8, LG G3 rumors, and early termination on principle

Posted on February 7, 2014 by Michael Fisher

Sometimes it’s not the promise of saving money, nor the allure of a shiny device that drives you from the warm arms of your current wireless carrier – sometimes it’s just a matter of standing up for what you believe in. That’s the case with today’s podcast guest, friend of the show and longtime Verizon Wireless customer Chris Larson, who’s leaving Big Red for the much smaller T-Mobile USA due to Verizon’s stance on net neutrality. On this episode of the Weekly, we’ll talk to Chris and find out just what he’s prepared to sacrifice, and ...

Boost MAX unboxing (Video)

Posted on February 6, 2014 by Taylor Martin

ZTE told us at CES last month that it wants to be a part of the U.S. smartphone market. The Nubia 5, which Jaime reviewed last year, was among the first of its devices targeted at U.S. consumers. But as we’re learning, that was just one of many to come. We saw a handful of handsets at CES, and among those was a rather large, entry level smartphone, the Iconic Phablet ...

ZTE Boost Max lands on Boost Mobile as affordable phablet

Posted on January 28, 2014 by Anton D. Nagy

The ZTE Iconic Phablet we’ve seen at CES, and handled, turned out to be just a “placeholder” name for the device, as it now pops up with the ZTE Boost Max moniker on Boost Mobile. It will set you back $299.99 but it can also be coupled with Boost Mobile’s $55 Monthly Unlimited Plan — with Shrinking Payments which can make your fee as low as $40. The Boost Max packs a 5.7-inch 720p display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 dual-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of ...
