It's okay phone basic but it works okay. Like I sa.

We bought this phone for my mother inlaw for her birthday and she loves it.

I actually bought 3 of these by the time things were said and done. I am using them all on T-Mobile. They are for sure not a high end phone. The 3 I bought are being used by 3 different people that use the phones differently. I will do my best to give a review based on the different uses. I use my phone mostly for email, calendar,gps, and light gaming. My last phone was a note 5. I enjoy the seemingly less bloatware on this phone. I also like the Google apps acting more natively. This screen is for sure bigger and I like it. The screen is not as responsive as the note, but as this phone is drastically less I wasn't surprised. The camera seems to work fine with lots of light and low motion. I also enjoy the fact that I can unplug it at 3 AM use it through the day and it not be dead when I get home 14 hours later. Many days I get home with over 40% battery left. My great aunt (89yo) is coming from an iPhone 5s. She really enjoys the larger (almost double) screen size. I can hear you now, how dare I compare this phone to an iPhone! She used it for 2 things: phone calls and Facebook. She really likes the larger screen to view Facebook in the evening. As she has only been in the touch screen world for 2 years she seems to do well with the screen as it tends to need a stiffer touch and she really pushes on screens! She is still figuring out and finding a good way to hold this monster phone and use it. My wife tolerates this phone, but she uses it differently. She is coming from a Galaxy S7. She uses it mostly to chat with her friends, as a camera, Facebook and shop on Amazon. It works for her shopping and Facebook. However the front camera can't keep up with her face to use the talking filters in Snapchat. The cameras also don't take nearly as nice a picture as the S7. For me it seems like the cameras just don't focus the quickest. Overall my recommendation on buying this phone depends on your needs. A nice general purpose phone this is it. If you need a media powerhouse this is not for you. Also included in the box is a cover and screen protector, very nice that to they were included so we could use them till we could get different cases from Amazon. At the end of the day, I'll probably keep mine and end up doing something different for my wife.

I first bought this phone as it was unlocked and to me that meant I could take it from cell provider to cell provider without having to buy a phone for that provider. To me that saved me money in the long run. 2: It had a six inch screen as I liked that 3: I love the fact that it can be set up with a password to start up the phone, you know like when you put in a password to start up your tower or laptop? Like that. And after starting up put in the password to unlock the phone again. Now here's my problems: The sound quality of the phone. You would have to strain your hearing just to hear calls. I have over 50 people ready to give sworn testimony over how horrible the call quality is on the phone. That also includes whether the call was answered with or without speakerphone on. Now I saw on updates that you could try to increase the volume but it didn't work. One workaround I found out was to use Bluetooth headphones or earpieces to make and recieve calls. Great! But then the Bluetooth quality was not as strong as it should be. For the duration that I have owned this phone; while listening to music on Spotify it would go in and out, same with calls. And then my lovely phone decides to ignore it's pairing to my Hesh 2 headphones meaning to repair it, I would have to remove it from my phone, turn it off and wait five or ten minutes then turn it on and re-link it again Bluetooth wise! As for the Operating system of the phone it's stuck on Android 6.01. I've contacted Blu about it several times and well they have no intentions for that particular phone to be updated to 7.1 or even Oreo. With my communications from Blu I save them as you don't know when an inconvenient truth may try to slip out and fall between the cracks. If the call quality, Speaker quality and the Bluetooth Quality was of a higher standard, I would have no complaints. Again I know that this is a budget phone as I got this to replace my Unlocked Apple 5s that kept acting like a tempermental child and would randomly reboot and I was not prepared to pay $300 plus to repair a software problem inside the phone. So to sum up Call quality: 5 Bluetooth quality: 4 Speaker Quality: 5 Having to endure people constantly telling you that they can't hear you or just hang up after you answer them: Unacceptable inconvenience

Not great as it is somewhat slow doing web searches, but is a good inexpensive phone for someone who just wants to call, text and do limited web searches or at least isn’t concerned about the speed in which it loads sites
