Its 4.5-inch screen has a low-res 854x480-pixel resolution, and it runs Google's mobile operating system, Android 5.1 Lollipop. The phone also features 4G LTE and expandable memory up to 32GB via a microSD card.

The handset is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm and a 2,100mAh battery that has an estimated talk time of up to 10 hours.

For your camera needs, the Maven features a 5-megapixel camera on the back that can also record 720p video, as well as a VGA front-facing shooter.

The device is available today to AT&T customers as well as users on the carrier's prepaid arm, AT&T GoPhone.
