There have been no recalls for this product.

The ZTE Maven 2 is a dark gray device that serves as a handheld phone. The device itself is moderately sized, and shouldn’t be larger than the palm of your hands. It has a removable back cover with a thin black slot in the bottom right corner, where the speaker is located. There is a distinct "AT&T" symbol about ¼ of the way down the back of the phone located directly under the rear camera and flash. The front of the phone should say “ZTE” at the top next to the front-facing camera.
