in c13 which phone is zmax becouse there are 4 zte phones none of them zmax
Only Nubia Z9 Max (nx510j) is available yet, might not compatible with zmax, also, check your device model.
it is zmax or z970
This sucks because it isn’t any ZTE device. I got a Citrine and I am afraid to even try this. I saw 4gb internal devices on Best Buy that haves Marshmallow running on it. So for people to say this device is not capable to run Marshmallow is stupid. You don’t have this much strictness on Windows or Apple OS. This is just stupid to keep people from updating the OS. Pay more to get the latest OS on smartphones is pathetic. I got a laptop from 2009 that can run the latest Windows 10. So it makes no sense to keep techies from updating without paying more money for the OS update. Not everyone in the world is made out of money. Sucks for the budgeted in mind people.
