Chinese smartphone ZTE is partnering with T-Mobile to bring out its latest smartphone, the 5.7-inch ZMax, offering a more affordable solution to the market of supersized smartphones. The ZTE ZMAX will be exlusively available with T-Mobile beginning September 24.

"Putting devices with the ZTE logo in your consumers hands is the No. 1 way to build your brand," Lixin Cheng, CEO of ZTE's US unit, said at a press conference Tuesday.

This value priced LTE smartphone has a 5.7 inch HD screen and it is powered by a 3400 mAh battery that lasts two days on average with a single charge. Under the hood there is a Qualcomm quad-core processor, Dolby Digital sound and 16GB of storage that is expandable to 32GB with a micro SD card.
