Cricket Wireless may not be that popular but this AT&T subsidiary is rolling out a new smartphone in the form of the ZTE Grand X Max. This phablet boasts of a 6-inch hi-definition screen so you can do and see more on the huge display.
The ZTE Grand X Max is ideal for streaming TV shows and videos over 4G connectivity. That’s what the wide screen will be most useful for starting October 10 when the phone-tablet becomes available in stores and online.
The large smartphone is good for business, pleasure, or just about anything. For only $199.99 with activation, it’s great value for money compared to the other more expensive phablets in the market today. It will take advantage of Cricket Wireless’s nationwide 4G network that covers about 98% of the population in the United States.
Cricket Wireless’ mobile deals are offered with no annual contracts, just monthly plans. The carrier’s offering makes the phablet more attractive now because it means you don’t need to commit to a contract you might not finish. Just pay for the unit and the monthly fees as required after choosing a plan you want.
The ZTE Grand X Max from Cricket Wireless will come pre-loaded with Peel Smart Remote. It’s an app that suggests TV recommendations based on past viewing habits. With the app, you can pair the phone with a home entertainment system to watch the TV shows. Other apps included are Kindle, Kingsoft Office, and Evernote.
Other specs of the ZTE Grand X Max include an 8GB built-in internal storage, microSD card slot, 8MP auto-focus camera with LED flash, HD video, 1MP front-facing camera for video chat and selfies, Qualcomm Snapdragon™ 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, and a large battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge 1.0 technology. Phone tablet will run Android 4.4 OS out of the box.
As with previous Cricket Wireless offering, ZTE Grand X Max buyers will also receive $100 bill credit especially if you’re switching from MetroPCS or T-Mobile before October 19.
