ZTE Grand X Max Phablet Slated For Cricket

ZTE recently launched its ZMAX handset on T-Mobile, and following it up is a smartphone with similar features and design: the ZTE Grand X Max. Unlike the ZMAX, the Grand X Max will be launching at Cricket Wireless rather than T-Mobile (in fact, there's a perk for those who switch from the latter carrier), bringing with it a budget-friendly price, a few notable features like rapid charging, and a display large enough to place the phone solidly in the "phablet" category.

The X Max features a 6-inch HD display, the precise resolution of which hasn't yet been specified, joined by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.2GHz quad-core processor and up to 8GB of internal storage (as well as a microSD expansion slot supporting up to 32GB).

As mentioned, the phone also features rapid charging via Qualcomm's Quick Charge 1.0. Around back is an 8-megapixel camera with an LED flash, and on the front is a 1-megapixel camera. The handset arrives with Android 4.4 KitKat.

The ZTE Grand X Max will be arriving at Cricket on October 10 (this Friday) for $199.99 USD, with a $100 credit being dangled at current T-Mobile and MetroPCS subscribers — switch by October 19 and get the credit. The smartphone will be available online and from Cricket's retail stores.
