Last week I helped my 8-year-old daughter complete a timeline assignment of her life. She needed a photo that illustrated a significant event from each year since her birth so we scoured my Facebook albums and some of my blog posts to find them. We had a lot of fun deciding which posts would make the cut and sharing some memories from the others. I came away from the experience VERY grateful that I had so many photos from my time as a parent, many thanks to always having a cell phone (and now a smartphone) on hand.
The New York Times reports that worldwide, an estimated 1.3 trillion photos will be taken in 2017 and 80 percent of those will be on smartphones. The typical smartphone with a small screen is on its way out though, replaced by rising popularity of phablet devices that are hybrids of regular-sized smartphones and full-sized tablets. Most phablets have 5 or 6-inch screens, making it easier to watch streaming videos but small enough to carry around on a regular basis. Mobile analytics company Flurry predicts that by 2017, the majority of smartphones in use will be phablets.
I recently had the chance to check out one of the newest phablets on the market — the ZTE Grand X Max 2 from Cricket Wireless. If you aren’t yet familiar with Cricket, the wireless carrier offers affordable plans that start as low as $35 per month after a $5 autopay credit, and that includes taxes and fees.
The Grand X Max 2 is perfect for taking those in-the-moment photos. It has a large 6-inch LCD display, with a wide-angle front camera and dual rear cameras. It’s perfect for parents because it has Bokeh effect settings, which is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens.
The entertainment options of the Grand X Max 2 are great too. It’s a high-powered LTE smartphone that runs on the Android Marshmallow operating system and offers Dolby audio and Hi-Fi music options.
The price of the phone is low too — just $129.99** for people who move their numbers to Cricket Wireless. Pair that with the low monthly rate, and that could mean a lot of savings on your family’s cell phone bill. The phablet costs just $169.99 for current Cricket Wireless customers.
If you’re looking to upgrade to a phablet or replace yours, check out the ZTE Grand X Max 2. You can find out more info at CricketWireless.com or locate a Cricket Wireless authorized retail location.
**Buy ZTE Grand X Max 2 for $129, port number to Cricket and activate a new qualified plan, minimum $40 per month. Fees, other charges & restrictions apply. See store for details.
