Zen Cinemax 3 Summary

The Zen Cinemax 3 is the followup to the Cinemax 2 which Zen Mobiles introduced a year back. The new model sports beefed up internals including 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, but the SoC is still not powerful enough to handle Android smoothly. To add to this, the Cinemax 3 lacks 4G support which makes it a bit of a deal-breaker in this day and age. The 5.5-inch display has a low resolution, which ruins the viewing experience for pictures, videos and pretty much everything else. The cameras could have been a lot better too. Only battery life is decent thanks to the 2900mAh battery. Overall, the Zen Cinemax 3 is worth a pass due to its sub-par performance in pretty much all areas.
