The internal memory is 16 gigabytes so you could certainly run the risk of filling up if you download a lot of music or apps. On the opposite side of the phone you will find the microSD card slot for expansion.
We would have certainly liked to see that here. We have seen other devices that let us launch directly into the camera, bypassing the lock screen or without having to tap any icons. It’s worth pointing out that you cannot quick launch directly into the camera using the button – you must have the display open and the camera app running. Roughly an inch up from the bottom is a physical camera button. There are capacitive buttons at the bottom so you will not find any hard keys. To the right of the face is the power button which sits about three quarters of the way up. Looking at the device from the front we have a speaker at the top center which rests just above the front facing camera. Upon taking out of the box we were immediately reminded of how the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Note 2 felt prior to Samsung slimming things down.
Running Android 5.1 Lollipop, the Boost Max+ is a 5.7-inch smartphone. You will find that there is quite a sick bezel around the display which leads to a somewhat bulky in-hand experience. ZTE is another brand that has been putting out larger display smartphones for some time as well. We’ve spent some time playing with of them, the Boost Max+, and are here to offer up our takeaway. Other big-screen models of the day include the Nexus 6 and the LG G Stylo.
And, for a lot of us, we don’t need a stylus for jotting down notes or marking up photos. The Samsung Galaxy Note series is the first name in plus-size screens, but the space is getting increasingly crowded.
This works in most cases and provides a good single-hand experience. Whereas a few years ago a 4-inch or 4.5-inch handset would be considered unwieldy or too big for the average person, today’s smartphones range from 5-inches to nearly 6-inches. To help keep phones from getting too big (out of hand) we have seen some manufacturers trim the bezel around the display.
