Transmissions are scratchy, with intermittent crackling and voices sounding a bit dampened. Noise cancellation could also be better. Earpiece volume is good, but the rear facing speakerphone is tinny. Wired audio benefits from Dolby Audio software enhancements, but its not on par with actual high fidelity hardware. Processor, Battery, and Camera The Blade X Max is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4. GHz, a solid midrange chipset. In the An. Tu.
