ZTE Blade V9 is rumored to get unveiled at the
Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 in the coming week. Apart from the Blade V9,
the U.S. also receive another new phone from the company – the Blade X2 Max. A
leaked image of the phone has been revealed by Android Authority. It claims
that the image has been provided to it through a reliable source. The handset
is speculated to launch in late spring this year.
The Blade X2 Max will be arriving to replace the
Blade X Max smartphone from last year. The original phone was launched in May
2017 through Cricket Wireless in the U.S. The same carrier is rumored to sell
the Blade X2 Max in the country. Since it is speculated to debut in late
spring, it is likely that it may start selling in May this year.
The original Blade X Max came with specs like 6-inch
Full HD display. It was powered by Snapdragon 435 chipset and 2 GB of RAM. Its
other specs include support for microSD card, 32 GB inbuilt storage,
13-megapixel rear camera, 5-megapixel front-facing camera and 3,400mAh battery.
It was launched with a pricing of US$ 149 through Cricket Wireless.
There is no information available on the specs of
the Blade X2 Max, but it is likely to feature a 6-inch Full HD display. The
image of the phone suggests that it will be arriving with a traditional 16:9
aspect ratio display. The Snapdragon 450 chipset may fuel the smartphone. Its
SoC may be accompanied by 2 GB or 3 GB of RAM. It may come with at least 32 GB
of native storage. It is likely to house a larger battery and also feature a
USB-C port.
Since the handset does not seem to have a
front-mounted fingerprint scanner, it appears that the biometric recognition
feature could be placed on its rear. The handset may come preinstalled with
Android 8.0 Oreo. It is likely to be priced around US$ 150 to US$ 200 in the U.S.
