This review will provide specs and features for the Tracfone UNIMAX 671c MaxPatriot, as well as a comparison to other phones available, and is provided by TracfoneReviewer.

tracfone unimax review
UNIMAX MaxPatriot with Tracfone
The UNIMAX MaxPatriot is an Android powered smartphone offered by Tracfone Wireless for use on their prepaid cell phone network. Tracfone offers a variety of phones and prepaid service options, which you can learn more about by reading our Beginners Guide to Tracfone.

Tracfone continues to release smartphones running the Android Operating System. These phones provide more features and functionality, with the ability to download and use applications on them.

Not a lot of information is available about the UNIMAX company, or sometimes UMX Mobile. They appear to be based in China, and are expanding into the Android mobile phone market quickly. Quality may not be quite on par with more established brands like Samsung, LG and Motorola.

The UNIMAX MaxPatriot comes with a 4" screen, Android 4.1, and a 5 MP camera. You also get Triple Minutes for Life, which all Android phones from Tracfone come with.

There are several other options for smartphones with Tracfone, including the Tracfone BYOP program, where you can bring certain phones to use with Tracfone. Also take a look at our Tracfone Android List for a complete of the smartphones available through Tracfone.

Some of the current top phones from Tracfone are the LG Ultiamte 2, Moto E, and Alcatel Onetouch Icon Pop. We will briefly compare these with the MaxPatriot a little further on.

Let's jump into the features and specs on the UNIMAX phone.

UNIMAX MaxPatriot Features
  • Android 4.1.2
  • 3G on Verizon Networks
  • WiFi
  • 5 MP Rear Camera
  • GPS
  • Bluetooth
  • MP3 Player
  • Micro SD Card compatible up to 64GB
  • Triple Minutes for Life
  • Hearing Aid Compatible
  • Voicemail, SMS, MMS and Voice dialing

UNIMAX MaxPatriot Specs and Technical Details
  • Size: 4.80" x 2.46" x 0.41"
  • 4" Touchscreen
  • 1.2 Dual Core processor
  • 1 GB RAM
  • 1.5 GB Internal Memory, about 1 GB Usable
  • Weight: 4.6 ounces
  • Battery: Talk Time 7 Hours, Standby 8 Days
The features are fairly straight forward and similar to many of Tracfone's other Android devices. The UNIMAX has WiFi, Triple Minutes for life, Micro SD card slot, GPS, and more.

The technical specs are where we get a little disappointed.

The MaxPatriot comes with a 4" touchscreen, which larger than some other Tracfone devices, but smaller than some as well. The Dual Core processor sounds good, but the internal memory is very disappointing, with only about 1 GB actually usable. Some apps can be loaded on an external SD card, but we would still like to see closer to 8 GB.

The LG Ultimate 2, for example, has more than 4 GB internal memory.

Before we get ahead of ourselves, let's go over some of our likes and dislikes about the UNIMAX, and then we will compare it with some other phones.

UNIMAX MaxPatriot Review - Likes and Dislikes

What we like about the MaxPatriot
tracfone unimax maxpatriot
UNIMAX MaxPatriot with Maps
The UNIMAX 671c has many of the standard features of an Android smartphone with Tracfone service.

We like that it comes with the Android OS, which allows users access to over a million apps. These apps have huge potential, and give the phone many added benefits and features.

Take a look at our List of the Best Apps for Tracfone Android for some ideas.

While it is great that the MaxPatriot has Android, it isn't the latest version.

The screen size is another good point for the phone. At 4", it is mid-sized in the Tracfone lineup, which will be exactly what some users are looking for. Not everyone wants a large phone, although it is nice sometimes. The LG Optimus Fuel, for example, has a smaller, 3.5" screen while the Alcatel Onetouch Has a much larger screen, at 5".

We do think that the price, listed at $70, is more or less reasonable. And it is likely to be available for much less online, which makes this a very affordable phone.

Let's move on to our dislikes for this phone, of which there are a few.

What we Dislike about the UNIMAX MaxPatriot
We do have a handful of grips against the MaxPatriot, partially because it is an older phone, and there are much more advanced phones currently available with Tracfone.

The rear camera on the UNIMAX has 5 MP, which is good. But it doesn't have a front facing camera, which we find disappointing.

Internal Memory is probably one of our biggest disappointments with the UNIMAX MaxPatriot. At only 1.5 GB total internal space, and less than 1 GB actually usable, we're not sure how useful this phone will actually be for most people. Unless you can move a large number of apps to the external SD card, you will be limited in your options.

Battery life seems poor on the UNIMAX, with 7 hours talk time listed, but often even less actually achieved. The Moto E, which has great battery performance, has more than double the talk time of the MaxPatriot, at 16.5 hours. If you can stay close to a charger, then it isn't a worry, but otherwise you may look elsewhere.

Finally, we've noticed a number of consumers echoing dissatisfaction with the overall quality and design of the phone. For some users, it works great, but others report various bugs, or a completely dead phone after just a few months.

The UNIMAX MaxPatriot has some decent features, but it doesn't seem to be a phone that will be too popular.

Using Android Phones with Tracfone

We want to highlight some important points about using an Android phone with Tracfone, that you might not be aware of.

First, All Android phones with Tracfone currently use Verizon CDMA cell towers. Tracfone has some sort of contract with Verizon. This means that if Verizon service isn't available in your area, then you can't use a Tracfone smartphone there either.

All Tracfone Android devices come with Triple Minutes for Life, and minutes are split into three pools: calling, texting, and data.

For more differences and information, read our post on the 6 Major Differences Between Android and Non-Android phones.

And if you just want to learn about how minutes work, take a look at How Tracfone Minutes Work on Android Phones.

UNIMAX MaxPatriot Comparison to Other Androids

We will quickly compare the UNIMAX to some of the other popular smartphones available with Tracfone.

Basically, the Moto E, Alcatel Onetouch Icon Pop, and LG Ultimate 2 are all better than the UNIMAX MaxPatriot. They all have larger screens, similar or better processors, more internal memory, similar or better cameras (and front facing), newer Android OS, longer battery life, and more, compared to the UNIMAX.

The only area where the MaxPatriot has an edge that we can find, is in it's lower initial retail price.

But if you compare the UNIMAX to the LG Optimus Fuel, which can be found for $20, we would go with the Optimus Fuel for the lower cost, and newer Android OS.

If you want to know our top choice in Tracfone devices, take a look at TracfoneReviewer's Best Tracfone Device.

Conclusion and Where to Find the UNIMAX MaxPatriot

As you can probably tell, we don't find the UNIMAX to be a very inspirational phone, and there are other options which will be a much better choice for most consumers. However, it is probably better than some of Tracfone's first Android devices, like the ZTE Valet, and LG Optimus Dynamic.

The MaxPatriot is available on the Tracfone website, and in some stores. We haven't found it on other online retailers yet.

Please read the comments below before you consider this phone, as many users are reporting a lot of dissatisfaction with this device. We strongly recommend choosing another device, as there are plenty of other Android options from Tracfone at a similar price, with much better performance.

Take a look at the interactive tutorial to learn more about how this phone works.

We hope this information is accurate and useful. Leave a comment below with your thoughts or questions about this phone.

Also take a look at some great Sales and Discounts on Tracfone Devices.

And don't forget about Smartphone Covers and Cases, which can go a long way in protecting your phone!

Review of the LG 305C Touchscreen Phone from Tracfone

This review by TracfoneReviewer will provide specs and features for the LG 305C, along with likes and dislikes, and where you can buy the phone for the best price.

LG 305C tracfone
Tracfone LG 305C Review
Tracfone Wireless is a low cost prepaid cell phone and service provider in America. They contract with major companies like AT&T and Verizon to use their networks.

The LG 305C uses the CDMA Verizon network and is very similar to the LG 306G which uses AT&T and other networks. If you know which network is better in your area, you can go with the appropriate phone, otherwise you might want to read our GSM vs CDMA Review to learn more about the two network options.

As we mentioned, the LG 305C is very similar to the LG 306G (click for our review), in fact they share almost all the same features. the key difference is that the LG 305C will use Verizon service.

The LG 305C is a touchscreen phone with a 3.2" screen and has 3G and WiFi connectivity. It is not an Android phone however, and thus does not have access to the wide variety of apps Android users enjoy.

Let's take a look at the features for this phone, followed by the phone specifications.

LG 305C Features and Specs

This phone comes with most standard features Tracfone devices usually come with like Voicemail, Caller ID, etc. It also comes with some other great features:
  • WiFi and 3G access for Mobile Web Browsing
  • Triple Minutes for Life
  • 5 Home Screens
  • 2 MP Camera and Recorder
  • SMS/MMS messaging (text/picture)
  • 4 GB Micro SD card included
  • Up to 32 GB Micro SD Card
  • Bluetooth 2.1
  • MP3 Player
  • Gravity/Tilt sensor
  • 1000 Entry Phonebook
  • Alarm, Handsfree speaker, voice recorder
LG 305C Specs and Size:
  • 3.2" Touchscreen 
  • Size: 4.08" x 2.47" x 0.47" (inches) 
  • Weight: 3.80 OZ 
  • Battery: 3 Hours talk time, 10 days on Standby
Most of the features for the LG 305C are similar to many of Tracfone's other touchscreen phones like the LG 840G, LG 306G and LG 800G. But the main difference, which we mentioned above, is that the LG 305C uses CDMA towers.

Let's get into what we like and dislike about the LG 305C to better understand if it will fit your needs and how it compares to other devices.

LG 305C Review - Likes and Dislikes

Starting with What We Like:

There are two big things we like about this phone, and they go together (kind of). They are WiFi and CDMA cell service. Why we like these features is because this is the first non-android phone that uses Verizon CDMA towers, and has WiFi. So for everyone out there who has been using phones like the LG 505C or Samsung R455C, you may want to consider switching to the LG 305C just for the WiFi feature.

LG 305C
LG 305C Review
WiFi allows you to connect to any wireless internet and surf the web for free, provided you can connect to the wireless network.

Another great feature is the included 4 GB Micro SD card which you can use to store lots of picture and music on. You can then use the MP3 player feature for the music. Transferring music to your phone from a computer can be done by either connecting a cable or putting the Micro SD card into a card reader.

Battery life for the LG 305C is good, with the standby time longer than most smartphones. However, the LG 306G has 17 days on standby while the LG 305C only has 10. This may be due in part to the way CDMA technology interacts with the phone.

Lastly, we like that the LG 305C does not use the '3 buckets' system that all new Android smartphones use. When you add minutes to the LG 305C they all go into one 'bucket' and are automatically tripled. If you are a heavy texter, using a phone with the single 'bucket' for minutes will allow you to have more texts.

We also want to mention that Promo Codes will also work on the LG 305C (but don't work on Android phones).

Dislikes for the LG 305C
When evaluating dislikes for the LG 305C, there are not many. It is a very solid phone that does the basic stuff of calling and texting well. But it doesn't exceed expectations much, and some users have found a variety of minor problems (which many phones have).

Two of the features which we wish were better are the camera and operating system.

The camera is 2 MP which is OK for quick pictures and for use on the phone, but if you want to actually use the pictures for anything beyond social media, the quality might not be there.

The LG 305C uses a proprietary Java based operating system which basically means you can't access apps like you would on an Android phone, with the same ease. You can still install apps, but there are less options to choose from.

The LG 305C has mixed reports regarding GPS ability. It appears to have GPS listed as a feature, but none can be found on the phone. It may be that the GPS is for use in emergency situations only.

Overall, the LG 305C has many great features, and the dislikes will probably not be a issue for most. 

Overview and Where to Buy the LG 305C 

We are excited about the LG 305C because it offers WiFi while using a Verizon CDMA cell service. Be sure to check if your area is usable for Verizon before you buy.

lg 305c
LG 305C on Amazon
If you're considering the LG 306G vs LG 305C, they are almost identical, with the main difference being which cell network they use.

The LG 305C is available both online and in stores and retails for $40, but we have found the LG 305C at half price for just $20 on Amazon. (we also found the LG 305C on eBay at the same price!)

For further information about this phone, check out the interactive LG 305C tutorial

We would recommend the LG 305C if you're in an area where Verizon service is your main option. But you may want to look into some of the other phones Tracfone has.

Tracfone currently has a wide variety of phones, ranging from Android Smartphones to simple flip phones, and even iPhone 4/4S on their BYOP program. If you're looking for phones, visit our Cell Phone Reviews page for more information.

Review of the LG 305C Touchscreen Phone from Tracfone

This review by TracfoneReviewer will provide specs and features for the LG 305C, along with likes and dislikes, and where you can buy the phone for the best price.

LG 305C tracfone
Tracfone LG 305C Review
Tracfone Wireless is a low cost prepaid cell phone and service provider in America. They contract with major companies like AT&T and Verizon to use their networks.

The LG 305C uses the CDMA Verizon network and is very similar to the LG 306G which uses AT&T and other networks. If you know which network is better in your area, you can go with the appropriate phone, otherwise you might want to read our GSM vs CDMA Review to learn more about the two network options.

As we mentioned, the LG 305C is very similar to the LG 306G (click for our review), in fact they share almost all the same features. the key difference is that the LG 305C will use Verizon service.

The LG 305C is a touchscreen phone with a 3.2" screen and has 3G and WiFi connectivity. It is not an Android phone however, and thus does not have access to the wide variety of apps Android users enjoy.

Let's take a look at the features for this phone, followed by the phone specifications.

LG 305C Features and Specs

This phone comes with most standard features Tracfone devices usually come with like Voicemail, Caller ID, etc. It also comes with some other great features:
  • WiFi and 3G access for Mobile Web Browsing
  • Triple Minutes for Life
  • 5 Home Screens
  • 2 MP Camera and Recorder
  • SMS/MMS messaging (text/picture)
  • 4 GB Micro SD card included
  • Up to 32 GB Micro SD Card
  • Bluetooth 2.1
  • MP3 Player
  • Gravity/Tilt sensor
  • 1000 Entry Phonebook
  • Alarm, Handsfree speaker, voice recorder
LG 305C Specs and Size:
  • 3.2" Touchscreen 
  • Size: 4.08" x 2.47" x 0.47" (inches) 
  • Weight: 3.80 OZ 
  • Battery: 3 Hours talk time, 10 days on Standby
Most of the features for the LG 305C are similar to many of Tracfone's other touchscreen phones like the LG 840G, LG 306G and LG 800G. But the main difference, which we mentioned above, is that the LG 305C uses CDMA towers.

Let's get into what we like and dislike about the LG 305C to better understand if it will fit your needs and how it compares to other devices.

LG 305C Review - Likes and Dislikes

Starting with What We Like:

There are two big things we like about this phone, and they go together (kind of). They are WiFi and CDMA cell service. Why we like these features is because this is the first non-android phone that uses Verizon CDMA towers, and has WiFi. So for everyone out there who has been using phones like the LG 505C or Samsung R455C, you may want to consider switching to the LG 305C just for the WiFi feature.

LG 305C
LG 305C Review
WiFi allows you to connect to any wireless internet and surf the web for free, provided you can connect to the wireless network.

Another great feature is the included 4 GB Micro SD card which you can use to store lots of picture and music on. You can then use the MP3 player feature for the music. Transferring music to your phone from a computer can be done by either connecting a cable or putting the Micro SD card into a card reader.

Battery life for the LG 305C is good, with the standby time longer than most smartphones. However, the LG 306G has 17 days on standby while the LG 305C only has 10. This may be due in part to the way CDMA technology interacts with the phone.

Lastly, we like that the LG 305C does not use the '3 buckets' system that all new Android smartphones use. When you add minutes to the LG 305C they all go into one 'bucket' and are automatically tripled. If you are a heavy texter, using a phone with the single 'bucket' for minutes will allow you to have more texts.

We also want to mention that Promo Codes will also work on the LG 305C (but don't work on Android phones).

Dislikes for the LG 305C
When evaluating dislikes for the LG 305C, there are not many. It is a very solid phone that does the basic stuff of calling and texting well. But it doesn't exceed expectations much, and some users have found a variety of minor problems (which many phones have).

Two of the features which we wish were better are the camera and operating system.

The camera is 2 MP which is OK for quick pictures and for use on the phone, but if you want to actually use the pictures for anything beyond social media, the quality might not be there.

The LG 305C uses a proprietary Java based operating system which basically means you can't access apps like you would on an Android phone, with the same ease. You can still install apps, but there are less options to choose from.

The LG 305C has mixed reports regarding GPS ability. It appears to have GPS listed as a feature, but none can be found on the phone. It may be that the GPS is for use in emergency situations only.

Overall, the LG 305C has many great features, and the dislikes will probably not be a issue for most. 

Overview and Where to Buy the LG 305C 

We are excited about the LG 305C because it offers WiFi while using a Verizon CDMA cell service. Be sure to check if your area is usable for Verizon before you buy.

lg 305c
LG 305C on Amazon
If you're considering the LG 306G vs LG 305C, they are almost identical, with the main difference being which cell network they use.

The LG 305C is available both online and in stores and retails for $40, but we have found the LG 305C at half price for just $20 on Amazon. (we also found the LG 305C on eBay at the same price!)

We would recommend the LG 305C if you're in an area where Verizon service is your main option. But you may want to look into some of the other phones Tracfone has.

Review of the MotoGO EX431G from Tracfone

This review will provide the specs and technical details, likes and dislikes, buying tips and overall review for the Tracfone Motorola EX 431G by TracfoneReviewer.

moto ex431g review
Moto EX431G Review
Tracfone Wireless is a prepaid cell phone service provider that offers low cost cell phones and service throughout America.

The Moto EX431G is a full QWERTY keyboard phone from Tracfone for use on their nationwide prepaid service. It is used on GSM networks, most commonly AT&T (We will cover more on the GSM network further on).

This is not a new phone, and does not use a standard operating system, but it does deliver on durability, low cost, and easy to use.

Let's take a look at the features and specs for the Moto EX431G

Moto EX431G Features and Specs

The MotoGO comes with many of the standard Tracfone features:
  • Full QWERTY Keyboard
  • Double/Triple Minutes (See below for more information)
  • 2MP Camera
  • MP3 Player
  • Compatible with MicroSD Card (up to 32GB)
  • Mobile Web
  • Bluetooth wireless technology
  • Hands-Free Speaker
  • FM Radio
  • 500 Entry Phone Book
  • Voicemail, Caller ID, Call Waiting, 
  • Hearing Aid Compatible
  • Alarm Clock 

Moto Ex431G Specs and Technical details:
  • Size: 4.1 x 2.5 inches
  • .5 inches thick
  • 3.3 ounces
  • 2.2 inch TFT screen
  • Battery: 8 Days Standby, 4 Hours Talk Time

The Motorola EX431G comes with some great features that make it a good choice for texting and everyday use. It is fairly similar to other Tracfone devices like the LG 500G and LG 530G.

This phone, as the name suggest, comes from the American mobile phone company, Motorola, which was recently acquired by Google.

Important Note: It is important to be aware that there are two option for the Moto EX431G, one with Double Minutes for Life, and the other for Triple Minutes for Life. At this time, you can only buy the Double Minutes version on the Tracfone website, but you can get the Triple Minutes Moto EX431G on Amazon. Be sure you read the details about this phone when you go to buy it.

Next we will go into our likes and dislikes for the phone.

Moto EX431G Likes and Dislikes

Starting with our Likes:

motorola ex431g review
Moto EX431G Menu
The Moto EX431G is a sturdy phone with some key features we really like about it including Triple Minutes for Life, QWERTY keyboard, and super low price.

Triple Minutes is a great deal with Tracfone. It means that for every minute you purchase and add to the phone, you get three. So if you buy a 60 Minute card, you will get 180 minutes total! And don't forget to use a Promo Code for even more minutes.

Remember that some versions of this phone only come with Double Minutes, so look carefully when buying this phone to be sure you get Triple Minutes.

The QWERTY keyboard on the Moto EX431G is probably one of the best features about this phone. It makes for fast and easy texting, although for those inexperienced with QWERTY keypads it may take some time to adjust to the small key size. If you tend to prefer larger keys, like the Alcatel Big Easy phone, then this might not work for you.

Finally, The price for the Moto EX431G is nearly unbeatable. This phone doesn't have the most advanced features, but it does give great value. It is currently $10 on the Tracfone websites (for the Double Minutes version) but you can get the Triple Minutes Moto EX431G on Amazon for $8.

Moto EX431G Dislikes

There are a few things we don't really like about the MotoGO, and will mention them here to help give you a better idea of what this phone has to offer. We will start with the Mobile Web.

This phone comes with Mobile Web, which allows you to surf the web from the phone. But it does go through minutes quickly, and is hardly worth it. Perhaps the most you will want to do is download new ringtones.

Another problem with the Mobile Web on the Motorola Ex431G is that the top right button is a shortcut to open Mobile Web from the home-screen. And each time you accidentally hit that button you are charged 0,5 minutes. It is annoying, but most will become accustomed to avoiding that button.

The MotoGO uses its own operating system which means it won't run Android apps like Tracfone's other smartphone devices. But this isn't so much a dislike as a heads up, if you're expecting a lot of additional features, look into our reviews of the Android Tracfone devices or Using an iPhone with Tracfone.

Overall, we don't have many dislikes for the Motorola Ex431G. It is a simple phone that provides good features and performance. It is a good choice for either a backup/emergency phone, or for those who enjoy saving money on cell phone service.

Overview and Final Thoughts on the Moto EX431G

The Moto EX431G is a good phone with great features and a nearly unbeatable price.

It runs on the GSM network, which many people might prefer if AT&T and T-Mobile service is strong in their area. (for more on what GSM means, read our guide to GSM Vs. CDMA)

At just $8 on Amazon for the Moto EX431G with Triple Minutes, if you have a phone with double minutes you should seriously consider switching.

Looking for a minutes bundle? Check out the Moto EX431G with Triple Minutes and 600 minute bundle on eBay for just $20!

View the Interactive Tutorial for the Motorola EX431G to help you learn more about the phone.

We hope this review helped provide some information. If you have questions or comments, leave them below!

We've got the details on the new Tracfone BYOP program which allows you to bring your own smartphone to Tracfone. Check out the page to learn more, and see our compatible phone list!

tracfone sales discounts deals
LG Optimus Dynamic
The Details: The LG Optimus Dynamic is a Android powered smartphone that comes with Triple Minutes and uses the new three bucket system for Talk/Text/Data.

This phone comes with a lot of features including WiFi, 3.2" touchscreen, 3mp camera, Android 2.3 and more. Read our review of the LG Optimus Dynamic to learn more about the phone, and see what others are thinking.

The LG Optimus Dynamic does have a smaller on board memory capacity, so if you plan to use a lot of apps this might not be the phone for you, but it does come with a ton of features and a price that can't be beat!

2. ZTE Valet with 600 Minutes for $55 (Amazon)

The Details: The ZTE Valet is another Android smartphone from Tracfone with a big list of features including WiFi, Android 4.1, 3.5" touchscreen, 3mp camera, Triple minutes and much more.

The Valet is one of Tracfone's more popular Androids, although some users have experienced issues with WiFi connections. Check out our ZTE Valet Review to see all the features, and comments from users.

The ZTE Valet retails on Tracfone for $99 but this deal includes the Valet PLUS 600 minutes (a $40 value) for $55. If you're looking for a smartphone and could use the minutes, this is a great deal for you.

3. LG Optimus Dynamic II for $85 (eBay)

LG Optimus Dynamic II
The Details: With the largest touchscreen, the LG Optimus Dynamic II is probably the best Android phone currently offered by Tracfone. It certainly is a upgrade from the original Dynamic.

The Optimus Dynamic II comes with Android 4.1, a 3.8" touchscreen, WiFi, Triple Minutes, 3mp camera and plenty more. See all the features and details by visiting our Review of the LG Optimus Dynamic II.

At $85, the LG Optimus Dynamic II is not the cheapest phone. But it retails on Tracfone for $130, and $85 is the lowest we've seen around for this solid phone.

4. LG Optimus Dynamic II plus 1200 minutes for $110 (HSN)

The Details: As mentioned in the deal above, the LG Optimus Dynamic is a great Android device. And if you're looking for some minutes along with a new cell phone, this is a pretty good deal.

You get the LG Optimus Dynamic II along with 1200 minutes (a $100 value) for just $110 (plus $10 for shipping).

5. Moto EX431G for $8 (Amazon)

The Details: We will be honest here, this is a simple phone that doesn't have WiFi or Android. But it does have Triple Minutes for Life and does texting and talking just fine.

If you still have a double minutes phone, this is a great option to upgrade to because it is so inexpensive. For just $8 you can get all the minutes you add Tripled instead of Doubled.

If you're looking for a cheap touchscreen phone with Triple Minutes, the LG 800G is an option at just $10 on Amazon.
