Has anyone tried the ZTE Maven yet?

[yugosrule]

I'm looking at another budget smartphone to replace my outdated ZTE Avail 2. I've had fairly good luck with it considering it was only $40 and has lasted me 2 years, but it's time for an upgrade.
If anyone has this phone I would like to know a few things:
Is the battery removable?
Can you add an SD card?
How fast is this phone compared to most phones?
How good is the camera?

Thanks!

I have the ZTE MAVEN Z812 and only got it in a pinch (in Jan, 2016) and wasn't qualified for upgrade yet. I will NEVER purchase another ZTE. The battery is not removable, you can add an SD CARD although I'm constantly getting messages saying my SD isn't recognized, the camera isn't too bad as long as it's not facing you and if it is be sure that there's PLENTY of light, speed of phone...well I'd say its mediocre at best. Granted my last phone was a Samsung Galaxy that I was absolutely heartbroken when it died but..like I said before I'LL NEVER BUY OR USE ANOTHER ZTE!!!!! If you go ahead and purchase this phone I hope you have better luck than what I've had with mine.
