AT&T Prepaid - ZTE Maven 3 4G with 8GB Memory Prepaid Cell Phone

$8 vrs $1,000 and $100 per year vrs $2,400 per year but over 2 years I can save $5.200 so I was able buy a 3bdr home and not buy the iPhone X. Ok I admit the house is a little small and I have to do yard work but my future is a little brighter. The size of my cell phone is the same size as the iPhone X but my home is high and dry.

Excellent smart cell phone with capabilities that satisfy the primary needs to surf in networks and have many other things for a truly incredible price.

I bought this phone because of the low price point and the fact it had a newer build of Android. I'm definitely suffering the get what you pay for reality. Touchscreen is very nonresponsive. I have to swipe my finger multiple times just to switch between app tabs. Battery life is poor and storage is next to nothing. Phone has 8gb of internal memory and approximately 7.5gb of that is used by preloaded apps and software. Most of these cannot be fully uninstalled, but you can remove all updates in order to save some space. Basically, you aren't adding more than 3-4 apps total and that's assuming you don't store any music or pictures. The phone itself feels good in hand, and I have no issues with screen resolution. My advice though is to save up a bit more and get a better handset.

Let's be real. This was a cheap o phone and I don't expect it to last forever. It does what it's supposed to do. My hubby is in construction work and goes through about 3 of these a year. They are cheap enough to replace as necessary and he can also make the calls, place the texts and read the news as he wants. Good enough for us.

They probably filter out prices in reviews, but we paid a fifth of MSRP (single-digits) for a Black Friday deal, and yes, the rating is adjusted for that. If you pay full price for this phone, you will hate yourself. We got two of these for the kids, along with FreedomPop's free plan, and that's about all this phone is suitable for. Trust me, do not buy it for yourself. It's not worth the frustration even if they gave it away. I can't complain about the fact that everything (screen, camera, processor, speakers, etc.) is bottom-of-the-barrel. YGWYPF. What I will complain about is bloatware. 8GB (plus SD slot) should be enough for light users. But even with zero aftermarket apps or files on the phone, it's full after the first round of updates. You can't delete any of the biggest apps, which also means you can't move them to the SD card. We have to clear cached data on an almost daily basis just to keep it running. If you're comfortable rooting it, you could definitely fix that issue, but if you're that kind of power-user, you probably don't want to deal with all the other shortcomings. Last, but not least, on one of the two phones, the home and recent apps nav buttons at the bottom stopped working after two months of light use. Thank God the back button still works, or it would literally be a paperweight. Probably just a matter of time...

I always heard good things about Android from friends... I wanted to experience it first hand so got this one as a second phone and I am lovin-it. It’s smooth and intuitive to use the phone... easy to customize screen(s) & features the way I want... most importantly, super easy to manage my media & photos. Camera is very decent for phones this size & price. It’s only been 2 weeks but I think I love Android for letting me customize the phone for “me”!!!

I had to get my twin daughters set up with cell phones and these are a great 1st phone option. Plenty quick and can do anything that they need without a hefty price tag. if something happens to either phone, I will pop into best buy and pickup a replacement for $30 !!! thanks best buy for having such an affordable option that works!!!

I purchased the phone for Thanks Giving for $8.00. Good phone with the latest Android, if you can disable the existing apps, it performs much better
