As Easy as any Android. Good for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Got this phone as a secondary phone for work, my original intent was a Motorola unit for the same price but there were no available. So ended getting this one instead. Been looking at the Blu phones for a while and took a leap of faith. I started with Android with the Samsung Momentum and the HTC EVO, move to iPhone (no regrets there) and well when this time come I wanted a simple phone for work. This unit fits the bill. cameras are okay with good light and both front and back have a flash (I can't thing of any phone with a build in flash on the front as most of them use the display for that). One cool feature is the face recognition, Yes a $100 phone with that feature. And it seems to work as it should, Is not the iPhone one that projects dots on your face but it will not work if light is wrong. So far the unit works as promised, I am using one of the dual sim ports with Mint Mobile (runs on T-Mobile) and the signal has been good, heck even when using Android Auto (this feature sucks compared to CarPlay from Apple, but that is on Google). The phone call quality was far superior, Maybe has to do with T-Mobile service in the area, will see when I get my AT&T sim to my actual line. The fact that the phone includes a cover and a glass screen protector as pluses. and the Twilight cover is really good looking. but the rubber case and the plastic feel is a bit disappointing (but hey is a $100 phone). The Screen for a 720X1440 screen is not bad. and looks actually good. Not perfect but good.

Good Bargain Smartphone
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.Got this as a replacement for a very old iPhone 3 that my father was still using. It is a very competent Android smartphone and big plus that the case and tempered glass screen protector are included in the box. Also it has an easily replaceable battery. My only gripe with this phone is the speakerphone. The speaker is on the back of the phone and not quite loud enough for folks hard of hearing. If you cup your hand behind it the sound is much better, but I think a better design would have been to put the speaker on the front like my Moto G4. It has a standard headset jack, so no stupid USB adapters needed. Micro USB charging. Front and rear facing cams. Really a great package for the price and UNLOCKED! No carrier restrictions. We're using it on AT&T.

Not too shabby, but not great either.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.Shipping was fast, so thumbs up for Best Buy. V5 is an ok phone, but it could be much better. Then again, for 90$ you can't really complain. We use this phone for Sim City exclusively, meaning we didn't even put a sim card in it, so phone call quality wise we can't say much. On the other hand, regarding battery life, screen, gaming performance and overall feel of the phone, we sure can say a few things about those. Battery life is ok. Again, we don't know how it does when used for phone calling etc. Screen is ok, although it has a pretty high resolution, so games look kinda weird. In case of Sim City, everything is tiny, unlike on our other phones. But, for general use, resolution is fine. Some people do complain about the touch sensitivity of the screen, and we can testify to that. Although, the included screen protector might be the culprit. This being a totally unknown phone, getting replacement screen protectors and cases might be difficult. We didn't like the included silicone case, because the buttons on the side were too senstivive to touch. We initially thought there must be a problem with the case (recessed button cutouts were too shallow, or something), but it turns out the phone's back covering was the culprit. We bought two replacement back covers from eBay (since we were thinking of ditching the silicone case, and just using the phone without it, which means it will get scratched, so it would be better to have a back cover replacement or two lying around). We replaced the phone's back cover and all of a sudden the buttons on the side, while phone was in the silicone case that comes with it, had much more resistance to them. So, yeah. It's a 90$ phone, things like these were to be expected. But what was not expected and it's the biggest gripe for us when it comes to this phone is the volume rocker on the left side. Horrible placement. Just horrible. All buttons should be on one side, period. Because, when you put phone in landscape mode, you are bound to press those volume buttons and it is super annoying. A quick fix is to rotate the entire phone. Also, wish the phone had a tad more RAM. It rocks Android 9, and I wish it had Android 8, experience would be much smoother. Anyways, recommended(ish). If your expectations aren't too high. Maybe it would be better to invest 50-60$ more and get a Motorola, or or something else when on sale (got a Moto X4, which is a 250-300$ phone, for 130$ on sale, for instance), even though those ones often get bad reviews.
