“While its far from perfect in terms of build quality and camera, it's really hard to fault the Grand X Max 2 give its price. The Max 2 exceeds where it needs to with a beautiful display, great battery life, and an excellent software experience. If you're on Cricket Wireless and looking for a large affordable smartphone, you'll have a hard time finding anything that comes close to this phone in terms of performance and value.”

“This gigantic phablet delivers on the two most important functions of big-screened phones: a solid viewing experience and full-day battery life. The Grand X Max 2 lets you enjoy YouTube, Netflix, and other video content for hours, and looks great doing it. Other features are more inline with the phone's price point.”

“For those who want a phablet on Cricket Wireless, the Grand X Max 2 is worth considering. It provides acceptable performance, and a camera that’s just okay. With that said, the price needs to be taken into consideration when looking at its shortcomings. For $200, you’re getting a phone that will get the job done. You just need to be accept it may not always be the best job.”

I bought my phone brand new and off the bat the left speaker doesn't work. People have a hard time hearing me, they say it sounds like I am under water when I call them.

Hi Kayode. Are you pertaining to the boot sounds? Hmm.. Try to put your phone in silent mode, then try rebooting your phone.

Hi there. Keep in mind that not all apps are movable to SD card. Now, if you have checked all the apps you installed and none are movable, it is because the manufacturer disabled the feature which is normal as some think that moving apps to SD card may result to instability of the phone. You can still enable this but you need to get root access first.

Go to Settings > Apps > All > look for Facebook and Google Play store > Clear data both apps. If that doesn't work, I suggest reinstalling both apps.
