Comparisons Featuring ZTE Maven 2
Short Review
- The ZTE Maven 2 features a simple design with a glass front, plastic back, and plastic frame, measuring 145.5 x 73 x 11 mm and weighing 166g.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 chipset with a quad-core CPU clocked at 1.1 GHz and 1GB of RAM, providing limited multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is 5 MP, capable of recording video at 720p@30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
- The 2300 mAh battery offers modest endurance but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow), the software experience is dated, with no updates expected.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device does not feature stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the ZTE Maven 2 is a basic smartphone with essential features, suitable for users with minimal demands.
