Boost Mobile just announced its latest addition to its smartphone lineup, the Boost MAX.
The marquee feature of the MAX is its 5.7-inch HD IPS display, with Gorilla Glass on top for scratch resistance. The phone packs an average spec sheet, with a dual core chip clocked at 1.2GHz, 1 GB RAM and 8GB of internal storage. To accommodate the gigantic high resolution display, Boost bumped up the handset with a 3200 mAh battery, that should last for two to three days of light usage and fourteen hours of heavy.
The device has a 8MP shooter on the back, a 1MP camera on the front and it also supports LTE, Bluetooth and WiFi. As far as software goes, Boost has loaded Android 4.1 Jellybean on the phone with pre-installed Boost apps on board as well. Â ZTE is behind the hardware of the phone, hence the MAX comes with a glossy polycarbonate back.
An exclusive feature on MAX’s software is Dolby Digital Plus, which allows the user to rock two apps on the screen simultaneously. And in my opinion, that’s the right way to make use of such a screen, though the phone might struggle to display two apps concurrently with only one gigabyte of RAM underneath the hood, so that is something we should all be aware of.
The MAX retails for $300 off-contract and comes in only one colour flavor. In case you are interested, the handset is available for purchase from Boost Mobile’s website; link is in the source below.
