ZTE V7 Max
While there was excitement over at the
LeEco launch, ZTE quietly released a new V7 Max with 5.5-inch display and side
mounted fingerprint scanner.
The ZTE launch went under our radar,
which is a bit of a shame as the phone does have some nice features. The V7 Max
is a 5.5-inch phone that uses a 1920 x 1080 AMOLED display with 2.5D curved
display and unibody alloy chassis.
Built-in to the right side of the metal
chassis (rather than on the rear or on the chin) is a fingerprint scanner
located just below a power button. The left side of the phone is home to a
couple of volume controls, while there is a USB type C in the base between
speakers and a microphone.
On the rear the phone has a 16
mega-pixel camera with PDAF (the front camera is an 8 mega-pixel sensor). Under
the hood there is an 8 core MTK chipset, 32 GB memory and options for either 3 GB
RAM or 4 GB RAM (there is also room for a 128 GB SD card if you need too).
Battery size is 3,000 mAh.
Pricing for the ZTE V7 Max will start at
1799 Yuan for the 3 GB + 32 GB version rising to 1999 Yuan for the 4 GB RAM + 32 GB
model.
