ZTE Maven Review

    See other variants reviews Score: 51.4 / 100

ZTE Maven is a decent quality cellphone launched some years ago, in 2015, packing a medium 4.5 inches multi-touch capacitive display, a powerful 1.2 GHz CPU, a 5 mega-pixels back camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front camera.

This cellphone is much lighter than what one would expect from a phone this size. ZTE made this cellphone in two color options, gray and blue. This phone is extremely thin and comfortable, with a thickness of just 0.39".

The ZTE Maven has a very good 854 x 480 4.5-inches display, making everything look very good. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

ZTE decided to design the ZTE Maven using a fast 1.2 GHz processing unit, included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 8916 system chip and 1 GB of RAM memory. A nice advantage of the ZTE Maven is its quite large 8 GB internal memory and an external memory slot, which allows the user to store a couple hundred applications without running out of space.

The ZTE Maven counts with wi-fi connection (and it can be shared with other devices acting as a wireless router or modem), LTE (4G) fast connection type and fast 3G connectivity, over HSPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

This phone features two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front side camera. The ZTE Maven also films videos in 1280x720 (HD). The camera also has a few interesting characteristics: flash, auto-focus and geo tagging.

This phone comes with an amazing 2100 mAh non-replaceable battery, which isn't too much for a phone like this. An issue to take into account is that this device's battery is non-removable so you won't be able to replace it when it begins to have trouble holding its charge, while with such a great capacity you will probably replace this device before it becomes a real problem.

This phone also features a couple nice characteristics as Bluetooth and GPS, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

ZTE offers this device for $ 120, which is high for a cellphone this level.
