ZMAX costs US$252 with just one-time payment. Consumers have the option to pay US$10.50 a month on a two-year subscription plan with T-Mobile.

ZTE said on Tuesday that it wants to create a mid-range phone that still comes with premium features.

The display screen has 1280 by 720 screen resolution. It runs under Android 4.4 and has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core 1.2GHz processor.

It features a 16GB internal storage and users can expand it via microSD card slot up to 32GB.

ZTE's new smartphone weighs in at 6.7 ounces. It comes with an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 1.6-megapixel front camera.

The Chinese smartphone vendor is popularly known for producing low-cost handsets. However, they are working on introducing more higher-end products in the U.S. market. The company said that U.S. is a better place to gain profit margins than ZTE’s home market in China.

According to International Data Corporation (IDC), a market research firm, ZMAX could help boost ZTE sales in the growing phablet market in the U.S.
