ZTE Grand X Max+ - User Reviews

  • The 3G network isn't working but just 2G pls hw can I make the 3G work

  • 400/410 is at best on KK.better if u got AOSP barebone ROM

  • had this phone since the summer of 2016, it was amazing at first obviously but after the last update (android OS 5) it became terrible, the videos stutter for 10 seconds on FB & Youtube only. certain areas of the touch screen doesn't function at all, there are times when the phone randomly decides to turn off by itself, it heats up alot when streaming of jamming to downloaded music, ive taken care of this phone since the purchase with otter box styled cases to those bouncy impact cases, had the screen film protector then replaced it with a glassed screen protector. ive spent money on it like if it was my child jaja. But im still using it since its huge to watch movies & is still kicking in as of 2017 going upon 2018. the talking & texting are still amazing, no problems on the micro sd card slot, the music plays clear & beautifully since it has that dolby sound. been a ZTE user since i had my first smartphone. i could blame the chipset, CPU, GPU or the update, or even all of it for the phone starting to suck. it decided to update 5 times but still staying on the Android OS 5. till this day i know phones don't last after 6 months depending on what you've done to it in terms of downloads, drops, usage, and throwing it against the wall in rage.

  • Nothing is wrong with it yours is the problem

  • Great Phone but can't replace battery so now it's toast.

  • I like this device,its more valuable than most devices with big names. The design itself is that of most expensive phones out there. Please use it before you join others to condemn it.

  • I've had a ZTE phone before, and I loved it. So when I switched to Cricket, and this phone was on a promotional price, I thought it would be a great idea to get it. NOPE! It's poo. Compared to my Mother's phone through cricket, it's like I just have a poo pile in my pocket. The service through the phone doesn't compare to the other Cricket phones, for some reason, with this phone, it just can't catch a signal. The picture quality of the phone sucks if you try to have the case on, almost like there's a film over it. Even if you take the cover off, it's still pretty bad. The battery life is pretty decent I will admit, but certain chargers like car chargers can make the phone overheat very quickly and then shut down constantly. If it's summer, or hot... don't even think about using your phone if you're not in AC, overheats so fast. I don't like the Glass backing, because it'll restart out of no where, and then just get stuck on the restart screen, so you can't take the battery out to try and let it cool down. It was a good phone to get me through, but now I'm looking for a different one, because this one causes nothing but trouble. Especially with certain apps. It doesn't like loading pictures, and sometimes shuts down if I'm trying to send anything MMS. If you're looking for a cheap phone for a few months, then sure, choose this one. But if you can wait a few months and just get another phone later on, then I'd rather wait.

  • I have had different phones for the past 25 years and this is hands down the best phone I have ever had, especially for the price. I never heard of A ZTE before, the sales person introduced me to it and I will definitely continue to buy their product in the future.

  • I am a phone technician. 1st Im tired of reading people compare this to the S4...the S4 is two years older than this. That is an unfair comparison. So This phone, the camera is horrible the low light photos look like a bowl of grits. The battery life is good. The screen is horrible very low pixel density. Over all this phone blows, but for the price you get a big screen, and decent speed, That's it.

  • I bought this phone to replace a much more expensive Samsung with a cracked screen. I have had this phone for around 6 months and I like it a lot. It is reliable and the big screen is great for reading, watching movies, etc. A couple of downsides are that the SD card can be no larger than 32 GB and there is no way to have photos, etc., automatically saved to it. Therefore, when the phone's memory is getting full, I have to manually transfer photos, etc., to the SD card. Overall though, this has been a good phone.

  • I can not tell you how awful this phone is. it has a mind of its own. I would be happier with a flip phone than this

  • Plz tell me its camera quality only plz

  • i will never get a zte again, it's awful!!!!! you can't hear on it, i accidently pressed the button for deaf and or blind person, now i can't access anything in my phone!!!

  • I found an app that has increased my volume very good it's called speakerboost on the App Store it works very well

  • I transfered over from a galaxy s4 . first of all when I got it from a friend it was cracked front and back. It was just going to be a loaner phone until I got my Samsung fixed the lCD broke on the Samsung. I must have dropped this phone at least 5 times since hard. Dropped a few times in water. This thing still works flawlessly. The battery life despite the huge screen is phenomenal way better than the S4 it seems to be faster than the S4 as well I've seen it sold on eBay for like 65 bucks comparing it to the Samsung I don't see why anybody would spend a million on the Samsung I haven't seen the Samsung do anything that this phone hasn't done only thing this phone lacks I think is NFC. A ZTE brand I believed had always been crap the phones seemed cheap. But no way not this one. I would drain the battery in the Samsung 2 times a day with the ZTE I go two days without charging it. okay I'm done.

  • This has been the worst phone I've ever owned, hands down. I must say the battery life is good though.

  • Yes lollipop 5.1 download. 6.0 lollipop comes out in June. don't know if the max+ can do mulitiple O.S. though

  • i foolishly was going to trade this phone in on an S6. what a piece of crap the S6 is......always dying. this phone stays charged and runs fast. 3200ma battery is the big plus. the cam is 13 mp. no down side. super inexpensive.

  • I was looking for a phone because my daddy said he getting me one so I'm just searching for phone the comments I've seen makes this phone look bad!!!!:(

  • Haven't had this phone for 3 months and when I go to use my camera it says camera has be disable due to security polices. And will not take a picture at all. How to do I fix this problem ?

  • I've had this phone for about a year. today it just gave out does anyone have or heard of this problem.

  • I got it for cheaper only 130

  • Cricket now has a hotspot feature for this a a number of their other phones, it is a additional $10 a month.

  • Is there any special way you can turn the volume up maybe a little louder

  • If it works on Cricket, T Mobile and AT&T it works on Metro . especially T Mobile seeing as Metro uses T Mobile service !

  • I have owned this phone for approx 4 weeks coming from a Galaxy s4. I was a little skeptical because it was $169 from cricket. It has truly been a spectacular piece of engineering. The screen is bright, processor is matched extremely well to the hardware and the camera is spectacular once you learn how to use it correctly. Reception is much better than my Samsung. Volume is fine for me and the built in dolby makes my cheap headphones sound spectacular!!! It is not the fastest or the greatest on the spec sheet, but somehow it all comes together to offer a no nonsense capable device. It is an absolute steal at the price I paid . Given the choice between the S4 and the ZTE I would take the ZTE hands down.

  • Do the camera show good

  • This is a great budget phone. For its $200 price mark you get a no frills phablet whose screen rivals lamesung's note line. But alas there are caveats. The speaker is not very loud, for some reason Bluetooth range seems to be minimal (roughly 15 feet tested with 3 phones and 3 sets of Bluetooth earpieces), and of course since it is from Cricket don't expect any updates. Oh and tethering is blocked. Airdroid (free) is what I use to get around the tethering issue.

  • Had this for two weeks now --- For a $200 phone this is a good deal. Weak spots LED is DIM -- Speaker volume is WEAK -- No coating on screen glass to keep fingerprints to a min. --- Strong things -- Processor and RAM work well together to get the job done. -- The screen is good -- The battery is great and charging is quick --- Thanks ZTE

  • 1st you make a name and password with a hotspot app like FOXFI, then you use 1-click tether hotspot pro because the app to make it for example FOXFI, will CRASH ... but 1-click doesnt crash

  • I got mine working fam :)

  • Heres my personal REVIEW: Pros- PRICE; $$$$$ its worth the price ... if you cant spare 200 for this ... go ask your mom and dad lol Great FN cameras front and back. Front lets you do GROUP-IES Big A-- screen GRRRREATTTT BATTERY LIFE! I MEAN FN AWSOME! I unlocked mine, It works with ATT and TMOBILES LTE NO SIGNAL FOR METRO PCS THOUGH :( USE PERCENT ENABLER, if you want to enable the percent value on your battery icon Cons- -BAD DPI, their icons are to big for the 720 display... use a better launcer and better icons; im using nova launcher and GEL for icons -SHI--Y SPEAKERS LOL, if i can mod it ill put better speakers in there. DO NOT TRY TO BOOST YOUR SPEAKERS WITH APPS ... YOU WILL GET STATIC

  • Hot Spot is disabled but this app, 1-click tether hotspot PRO ... WORKS FLAWLESSLY ... I use it, but you will need another app to set up the hotspot name ... I think I used FOX-FI to setup my hotspot name ... but it crashes when you allow it to hotspot ... but 1-click doesnt ... it works GREAT IN MY EXPERIENCE. Your welcome ;)

  • Are you nuts?.ZTE Grand X Max+ is exclusive to Cricket wireless,you can check at ZTE official website or just do google search it takes you to ZTE official website

  • No hotspot feature from Cricket wireless but the phone does support it. If it's not there as an option when bought from Cricket wireless it's because they have disabled it in the software.

  • Why would you need sharing if everything is unlimited?

  • that's all lies about this because MetroPCS doesn't carry the Grand X Max+

  • cool phone

  • I was seeking a cheap 2nd phone for my side Computer Repair Business - Stopped at Metro PCS - never heard of this product prior - Picked up for $99 special - The Speaker phone feature is (HD) quality and better then my Samsung S5-(Camera)isn't bad - Very Fast & 4.4 Kitkat a plus, Excellent phone for $99 - Large screen and impressive features - Light, much better then the average phone not provided by the big 3 Cell phone vendors. Again - I paid $99 total surprise great phone

  • Changed my mind, couldn't deal with the poor graphics....just took it back to cricket....Found a Note 2 for the same price, nearly fresh out the box with and extended battery, extra battery and a car charger....upgrade to lollipop for GSM as well....

  • The new Cricket doesn't support mobile sharing

  • No hotspot feature

  • Can you tell me what app you used to get mobile data sharing?

  • Can you tell me what app you used to get mobile data sharing?

  • Almost 24 hours....I Love this phablet....the only thing I don't like is that I had to install an app for mobile data sharing with my tablet....And yes the cameras are the best I've had in years, coming from an HTC One X+ tho....even if you don't grab this phone, Cricket is still offering the best deal this month ONLY; $60 for 20gigs of high speed data, then like all the rest it just reduces but is still unlimited; AT&T only gave me 2.5 gigs for the same price and they're the same network....go figure

  • This is an awesome device! Really great front and back camera. SO glad they released this LTE version. The previous version was lacking since it didn't have LTE capability. The only 2 things I might improve on is the Resolution and the Processor/Processor speed. Other than that...bad a*S!

  • any emojis?

  • its a pretty good phone for 200 it had it for awhile i think its fast its works like a 800 dollar phone its not a dual sims its for the sims and the mirco ds card

  • nice

  • I wonder if there is a Lollipop update coming soon for this phone.

  • The camera quality is less than par but not terrible. Don't expect it to be flawless in low light but expect pretty decent photos and video with the proper lighting conditions.

  • is that duel sim ? what about camera quality ?/ batter back up ?? cpu performance ?? please replay me anyone >>>! thanks in advance
