ZTE Axon Max with 4140mAh battery launched

ZTE Axon Max has launched the handset in China priced at CNY 2,799 (roughly Rs 28,600) via an e-commerce website. Design-wise, the ZTE Axon Max like its other siblings sports the same Boeing 787 aircraft-grade aluminium-titanium alloy build but is slimmer than the other Axon handsets at 7.5mm. It also features a fingerprint sensor placed at the rear panel below the rear camera.

The dual-SIM (Nano-SIM + Nano-SIM) supporting Axon Max runs on MiFavor 3.5 UI based on Android5.1 Lollipop. It has a 6-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) resolution Amoled display with a calculated pixel density of 367 ppi. The handset under-the-hood packs an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processor, clubbed with Adreno 405 and 3GB RAM, which surprisingly is 1GB less than the original Axon and Axon Lux.

The ZTE Axon Max bears a 16-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, phase detection autofocus (PDAF), and an f/1.9 aperture, apart from a 13-megapixel front-facing camera with an f/2.2 aperture. The inbuilt storage however, can be expanded via a microSD card (up to 128GB) with hybrid dual-SIM configuration where the second SIM card slot works as a microSD slot.

The smartphone supports both India-based 4G TDD-LTE Band 40 and FDD-LTE Band 3 alongside other regular connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, GPS, A-GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, USB Type-C, and USB OTG connectivity. The ZTE Axon Max is backed by a 4140mAh and also supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 tech, which can charge the smartphone from 0 to 60 percent in 30 minutes. It also includes AK4961 24-bit ADC for better audio outcome. It is available in a Gold colour variant.
