Mara Z User Reviews and Opinions
5 COMMENTS
Anxiously awaiting availability of Mara Phone in global market. I like using Nokia phones because of how rugged they are made. Dropped several different models of Nokia, & they snap back together & still working. Question: Are Mara phones being built to perform like that?
I got the mara z when it first came out 2 years ago. I love it. It is working fine. The only thing that bother me at first (but got around it now) is where the volume button is positioned. It is almost parallel to the power button, so when powering the phone it almost always used to go to fas-tboot. That was annoying but i have learned to positon my thumb out of the way when holding the phone to start it. Othewise the phone works like a charm and has really good pictures. I am looking to update to another Mara phone some time in the future but this one is still good, so i am in no hurry.
I would never recommend Mara Z to anyone. It has very limited space, takes poor quality pictures (selfies are the worst), the predictive text and word typing functions are counter-intelligent (good luck typing and editing a word document on this device), it takes so long to restart, and to charge when the battery is depleted (which gets finished really fast, even with the battery saver activated), it randomly opens chats, even when not touched and it even calls contacts without being promoted. In all, this is the worst phone I have ever owned.
