Performance
Under the hood, the ZTE Grand X Max 2 runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, powered by the Qualcomm MSM8952 Snapdragon 617 chipset. Its octa-core CPU, composed of four cores clocked at 1.5 GHz and an additional four at 1.2 GHz, allowed for balanced performance between power efficiency and handling everyday tasks. The device’s Adreno 405 GPU managed graphics demands suitable for light to moderate gaming and multimedia activities. However, the phone's 16GB of internal storage, coupled with 2GB of RAM, may have limited its multitasking capabilities and storage capacity overall, necessitating the use of the dedicated microSDXC card slot for expansion.
