Performance
1/20- Chipset Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 (Snapdragon family), built on 28nm — low category.
- Only 1 GB of RAM — tight even for modern Free Fire.
- No reference AnTuTu score — we use the chipset tier.
- GPU: Adreno 306.
Battery & charging
1/20- 2100 mAh is little — you will need to charge often.
- Wired charging power not provided.
- No wireless charging.
Connectivity
3/20- 4G LTE only — without the latency gain of 5G away from Wi-Fi.
- Wi-Fi standard not detected — likely Wi-Fi 4 (n) or lower.
- Bluetooth 4.0 — old, may have lag with gaming headphones.
- microUSB 2.0 port — limits compatibility with current accessories.
- 3.5mm jack present — wired headphones without dongles or Bluetooth latency.
Sensors
4/20- No dedicated gyroscope — motion-based controls may not work well.
- Accelerometer present — needed for screen rotation and casual games.
- No fingerprint reader — login by password only.
- No face recognition.
Build & ergonomics
6/20- Weight of 133.5 g — very light, long sessions without tiring your hand.
- Build material not provided.
- No resistance (IP) data provided.
- Released in 2015 — old model, outdated thermal hardware.
- Thickness 9.9 mm — sturdy, but may be uncomfortable in a long session.

Summary
The ZTE Maven was announced in 2015 by Zte and scores 10/100 on Mobileverso for mobile gaming — not recommended for gaming. Does not run Free Fire reliably. The display is 4.5", IPS LCD and 218 ppi. It packs Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 processor (28 nm process), Adreno 306 GPU and 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage. Battery life comes from a 2,100 mAh battery. The main camera is 5 MP, handy for streamers who post gameplay with a selfie. Connectivity: Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB 2.0. The phone weighs 133.5 g and measures 134.9 x 66 x 9.9 mm. It ships with Android 5.1 (Lollipop). For Free Fire, the ZTE Maven does not run — 1 GB of RAM is below the 2 GB minimum required by Free Fire. In other popular games: Genshin Impact does not run; Call of Duty Mobile does not run; PUBG Mobile does not run. Not enough hardware for today’s main games — only older casual titles run.
How the gaming Score is calculated
The score is a weighted average of the device's compatibility with each of the 8 games evaluated. Each game gets a verdict (0 to 100) and a weight, and the final score is the average of those points.
- Won't run — 0 points
- Runs on low — 25 points
- Runs on medium — 55 points
- Runs on high — 80 points
- Runs competitive — 100 points
Heavy games (Genshin Impact, PUBG Mobile, CoD Mobile) carry more weight than light games (Subway Surfers, Brawl Stars), because running the heavy one already implies handling the light one. Each game's verdict combines chipset (tier or real AnTuTu), minimum RAM, screen refresh rate and operating system.

|---|---|---|---|
| Free Fire | 0 | × 1.5 | = 0.0 |
| Subway Surfers | 80 | × 0.5 | = 40.0 |
| Brawl Stars | 0 | × 0.8 | = 0.0 |
| Roblox | 55 | × 1.2 | = 66.0 |
| EA Sports FC Mobile | 55 | × 1.0 | = 55.0 |
| Call of Duty Mobile | 0 | × 1.6 | = 0.0 |
| PUBG Mobile | 0 | × 1.6 | = 0.0 |
| Genshin Impact | 0 | × 1.8 | = 0.0 |
| Fortnite | 0 | × 1.3 | = 0.0 |
| Minecraft | 0 | × 0.7 | = 0.0 |
| Pokémon GO | 0 | × 0.6 | = 0.0 |
| Honkai: Star Rail | 0 | × 1.4 | = 0.0 |
| Honor of Kings | 55 | × 1.0 | = 55.0 |

| League of Legends: Wild Rift | 0 | × 1.0 | = 0.0 |
| Love and Deepspace | 0 | × 0.8 | = 0.0 |
| Standoff 2 | 0 | × 0.7 | = 0.0 |
| ARK: Ultimate Mobile | 0 | × 1.0 | = 0.0 |
| Among Us | 0 | × 0.4 | = 0.0 |
| Stardew Valley | 0 | × 0.4 | = 0.0 |

| Zenless Zone Zero | 0 | × 1.3 | = 0.0 |
| eFootball | 0 | × 0.8 | = 0.0 |
| Total | 24.1 | 240.0 | |
