ZTE Blade Max 2s Review & Pros And Cons

Although it is pitched as a successor to the 2017 Max XL, the ZTE Blade Max 2s does not come with any huge upgrade over the older model, seeing that its hardware setup still consists of a lowly (by 2018 mid-range standards) 1.4GHz octa-core Snapdragon 435 processor clubbed with an equally-unimpressive 2GB RAM . Around the time of this review of its pros and cons, most eight-core smartphones worth their salt run on chips that are clocked at 2.2GHz or higher.

Rubbing some salt to this Blade model's wounds is its dull 5-megapixel-only front-facing camera and typical-sounding 13-megapixel rear-facing main cam , which, like its aforementioned hardware specs, are no different from what the ZTE Max XL offers.

Those cons aside, this 2018 ZTE release is not without some redeeming qualities, its strongest selling point being the gigantic 2TB microSD card slot complementing its 32GB internal memory -- an obviously difference-maker, considering that most other smartphones within its price group as of this Phonerated write-up support only 128GB memory cards.

A couple more of its pros include the Dolby Sound DS1 audio system and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner that can be programmed to recall up to 5 fingerprints, letting users assign a different finger to quick-launch a certain application.

The Blade Max 2s also looks to join the big-battery smartphones race race by lugging a robust 4000mAh battery , which, given its rather undemanding mix of pros and cons, winds up as a sizable perk in our book.

The Max 2s's most-obvious tweak to its predecessor's feature set is the fact that it offers a similar screen real, while rocking a marginally-smaller body. This is because its 6-inch IPS display adapts the 18:9 or 2:1 aspect ratio that was popular among large-display Androids when it came out, whereas the much-older Max XL was stuck with the older 16:9 solution. Its screen comes with a 2160 x 1080 FHD+ definition and is shielded by a Gorilla Glass panel.

Cutting to the chase, the Blade Max 2s is tailored to users who are in search of a budget-tier high-stamina 6-incher.
