BLU Studio G White Lines of Death
After having the cell phone and using it for a couple of days, it started to give me the White Lines of Death. I did all of the normal troubleshooting steps like take out the battery and doing a factory reset and nothing. Contacted BLU support and they weren't much help. Advised me to do the factory reset and still the same thing. To get my replacement phone, I need to go to a third party distributor and their supports sucks as well. I am really disappointed with BLU since I would think that it being an American company would have better service. I am also disappointed with Best Buy for selling these phones as well. I would highly look at another phone than buying this one.

Got what I expected for $100.00
We needed a temporary phone. This was just what we needed. It went on line, made calls and sent/received texts. The touch screen was not as sensitive as an expensive phone, not did it work as well, but it was only $100.00 so we got what we expected. The glass is not very sturdy. For the price, yes I would recommend it, but not to be compared to expensive phones

A No Frills Smartphone
This was purchased as a gift for a friend of mine. He is the primary user of this phone. I did check in with him on two separate occasions to determine if the phone is working for him and he said it has met his expectations with the exception of two areas: those being the date and time specifically the time reverts to Eastern time and will not keep the designated for Central time. whatever reason will not accept the network time. Because the phone is not heavily used there's very little research that can be done online to determine the root cause of the problem. Secondly, the other issue is how to go about upgrading the device to Android Lollipop 5.0. The website for BLU contains sparse information and nothing related to the upgrade. We have not contacted customer support yet but that obviously is an option to determine if these problems can be resolved. Overall the phone is a great value it was $20 less than the posted price of $99.99. The processor is adequate, the memory is adequate, it has dual SIM cards and an external sd card up to 64GB. The phone is only being used to check mail, post to Facebook, to surf the web and for streaming media, along with telephone duties and its handled everything just fine. Overall this is a fine starter phone for the value.
