So this is my ZTE Maven 3 a TNT full review.
So first I want to talk about aesthetics of unlock at&t zte Maven 3 so for a device that only cost you $30 on 18th I personally think this is a beautiful device. The back of the phone as you can see has a slate’ish feel to it you can see it has a slate feel to it I love the feel this back I wish they can incorporate it on a little more ZTE devices.

I love this feel it’s like a sandstone backing that can actually be removed so if we take a look I can remove this backing by a little knob tap to actually reveal our whole battery. Now that’s not something you see every day in a device as you can see it is flexible but it’s not something you see.
So ZTE Maven 3 has up to 32 gigs of SD card storage plus the built-in storage that came pre-installed already and then the sides of the device are technically plastic and as you can see it looks a little like a fake’ish metal but I know it feels plastic for sure.
The one thing I don’t like in unlock at&t ZTE Maven 3 is the power button isn’t texture it’s not like a cheap feeling texture which I love better than just smooth but you can differentiate it for sure and then the camera hump also isn’t that bad.

Then the front of the ZTE Maven 3 is another place that doesn’t look too bad for a 5-inch display you get your three capacitive buttons and then on top you get a ton of finger prints. Then you get also an LED light right up there and the other thing you get is your camera and your screen. The screen on zte Maven 3 literally isn’t that bad like if I go like this three dots am I going to go over to this screen right here and I will zoom into it as can see this isn’t that bad so let me turn off auto brightness here turn it down more it really isn’t bad I think it’s a beautiful screen like for what it is I think it looks beautiful I think it looks vibrant for being only 480 TFT panel I think it looks vibrant and it comes with a ton of different software built into it already 7.1.1 comes built in so as you can see I haven’t loaded up much on here at all or anything at all really I did I tried some stuffs nothing would actually load for me and from here I went through and I just tested it out calling and texting on it and taking pictures too so in my opinion I love the picture quality I did a video that I will link down below just for camera I think the video wasn’t the best but the picture quality for this device blew me away like I was surprised that how good the picture quality came out for a dis device 5 megapixel rear camera 720p video and fun and a 2 megapixel front camera 720p video and they’ve also Lumia way in terms of what they did and for the poor performance of the device I was able to text fast and call people well that worked out the battery lasted me all day of calling and texting people it has a headphone jack for you people that care and it has a micro USB charger and what came in the box I’ll list I’ll link the initial getting video down below the unboxing video where the don’t where what happened was it came with just the micro USB and the brick and for what it is is beautiful I think it’s nice it feels nice in the hand it’s not too big not too small that’s what she’s personally I’d like a bigger device but it doesn’t feels great I think the back if it were a little more sandstone II and not just a little bit cheaper feeling I think it would be a little better but for what I did feels excellent now everything on this device is great if you want spent 30 bucks one gig of ram a gigs of storage with like three four gigabytes usable now people say it’s bad some people say whatever I say if you’re looking for a cheap device maybe to get your kids for only 30 bucks you get them a device that can blast them for a little bit maybe you just want to teach them the values of owning the phone but you want to be smartphone so they can text their friends maybe even do snapchat if that’s what they do and you just want if it reloads on this phone but you just want to show them maybe you’re also scared that they’re gonna break the phone or at least my mom did this she did it where she did it where she bought me a cheaper smartphone at the time was expensive but I mean I’m calling it cheaper now because technically it was cheaper than the cheap smartphones the budget smartphones at that time and I now I buy my own phones for myself so maybe you want to teach them that maybe they’re earning up to her towards their first phone but you want to actually just give them their first phone maybe they’re and it’s something whatever it is I think this is a perfect phone for that I’d recommend this phone to anybody looking please don’t get mad one gig of ram 8 gigs of storage with 4 gigabytes approximately 4 gigabytes usable not bad at all I think it’s great for what it is and a great starter phone for any kid out there.
AT&T GoPhone – ZTE Maven 4G No-Contract Phone Review
ZTE Maven Prepaid GoPhone at AT&T
Last month, ZTE launched the ZTE Maven and available to AT&T customers. The Maven is being marketed as an affordable, but high tech, handheld device that offers a ton of features for those looking for a great deal on a new mobile device. ZTE is the fourth largest phone manufacturer in the U.S. but the second largest in the “no-contract” market. For folks that are looking for the ability to outright pay for their new cell phone, this handset might be ideal if you don’t want to finance or make monthly payments.
Priced at $59.99 with no annual contract, the ZTE Maven is available at AT&T’s retail stores or online. The phone can be activated on AT&T’s postpaid or GoPhone prepaid services.
The 4G LTE compatible ZTE Maven is equipped with a 4.5-inch screen which has a resolution of 854×480 pixels and 5MP rear shooting camera that can record 720p video as well as a VGA front facing camera. All of this is powered by a Qualcomm 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor with 8GB of internal storage (that you can expand to 32GB via the microSD card), 1GB of RAM running on Android 5.1 Lollipop. The handset even has a battery that is rated at 2,100mAh which should give you a talk time of up to 10 hours.
The Maven is designed for casual users who don’t want to spend a fortune, but yet want many of the features of top-of-the-line mobile devices. The ZTE Maven measures in at 5.3 x 2.6 x 0.39 inches which makes it approximately the same size as the older-generation iPhone. For $59.99, we really can’t complain about how think the phone is. In reality, the phone feels solid in your hands and we expect to see tons of functionality in the Android 5.1 operating system. The Maven also supports Bluetooth 4.0 and Wireless-802.11 b/g/n.
The ZTE Maven comes in basic Black with dark Grey backing. No fancy color schemes for this model! AT&T packages the Maven in an AT&T “GoPhone” branded box with a USB wall charger, a charging cable, User Guide, Phone & Feature guide. Even though, cell phones are almost self-explanatory and very easy to setup, AT&T still encourages new Maven owners to head over to www.att.com/devicehowto for a multimedia introduction to the Maven or for any sort of general help.
On the front of the phone, besides the 4.5-inch screen, the Maven has a multi-color LED indicator light that will alert the user to a variety of phone behaviors such as charging status, missed calls, Bluetooth connectivity, etc. Next to the LED, the ZTE Maven’s speaker can be found. When the phone uses the speakerphone option, the speaker on the back takes over as per usual on many mobile devices. Next to the mail speaker, there is a ‘rear-facing’ camera. As far as we can tell, the ZTE Maven only comes in this basic black color version. Because the Maven is an AT&T exclusive, the ZTE website doesn’t even have a landing page for the Maven, so from what we can tell at this time, the Maven only comes in black.
On the bottom of the phone, there are three ‘soft buttons’: “Back”, “Home”, and “Task Manager”. The Maven’s microphone is actually on the bottom of the unit. On top, you will find the stereo headphone jack as well as the power button. Over on the back you will find the main camera and flash.

There is nothing really fancy holding the back cover on to the Maven. The device is water resistant, but not waterproof and you can gain access to the battery and SIM with a fingernail. With the cover removed, you can see where the SIM and memory card reside for the ZTE Maven. The 2,100mAh battery accounts for more than half of the Maven’s cargo under the cover.
As this is an Android-OS device, setup of the ZTE Maven was very simple. The phone asks you for your Google account and with it starts syncing your e-mail, calendar, and apps just like every other Android-based mobile device.
