ZTE Blade Z Max
The best thing about the Blade Z Max, besides its price, is its outstanding battery life. Among its impressive feature set, it delivers a good display and an excellent finger scanner. But despite having a dual camera, only the main shooter is remarkable - the poorly implemented dual-lens modes aren't worth your time. Definitely consider if you're on a budget.
What we like
Fingerprint scanner performance is great. Extremely accurate and responsive
Main camera performs very well for a budget/mid range device
Face detection on front facing camera
Large 4080 mAh battery offers great battery life
Good display, vibrant and sharp
Large software feature set for budget device
Excellent price-to-value ratio
What we don't like
Size makes it a two-handed phone
Dual lens camera modes suffer from lack of quality

Lack-luster build quality
2 GB of RAM causes some bottlenecks in performance
