Known for its mid-tier smartphones with price tags that do not break the bank, ZTE is set to launch the Blade X2 Max.

A reliable source gave us a first look at the Blade X2 Max, which will soon be available on Cricket Wireless. At first blush, the phone looks like a dead ringer for the original Blade X Max, save for the lack of ZTE branding on the top left.

We have no information on when the Blade X2 Max will debut. A springtime launch is likely, seeing how the Blade X Max launched in May 2017.

We also do not know the Blade X2 Max's specifications. Based on its predecessor's specifications, the Blade X2 Max might sport the same 6-inch Full HD display, a Snapdragon 450 processor, 2 or 3 GB of RAM, at least 32 GB of expandable storage, a beefy battery, and a USB Type-C port.

The phone is also likely to sport a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and run ZTE's light approach to Android Oreo out of the box.
