BLU - V5 with 32GB Memory Cell Phone (Unlocked) - Twilight

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.

I bought it for my twelve year old son as his first phone. So far, so good and I dont have to worry about it getting broken or lost because of the price. It comes with a cover and a girilla glass.

I was looking for an inexpensive phone for my grams to transition from a flip phone to an smart phone. So, far the transition has been seamless and it's perfect for the price point. I like that they provide a case and screen cover.

You go into this phone not thinking its going to be top of the line. It does the basic functions of calling texting and running simple apps. The screen protector that comes with the phone lifts up a bit on the edges. Doesn't completely flatten on the screen. It also takes a slight more pressure with your fingers when trying to use the touch screen and having the screen protector on. But for 80 bucks, thats what i got it for, its an OK phone.

I BOUGHT MY SON THIS SAME EXACT CELL IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR AT BEST BUY & ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER IT WOULDN'T CHARGE ANYMORE (EVEN WITH NEW CHARGERS... ALSO TRIED TIPS ON HOW TO CLEAN THE PART WHERE THE CONNECTION GOES. CAN'T RECALL THE NAME OF IT RIGHT NOW, BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK EITHER)... SO I BOUGHT HIM ANOTHER ONE. OK CELL FOR THE PRICE, JUST HOPING THIS ONE DOESN'T MESS UP AS WELL.

Constantly unintentionally turning on the camera and taking photos and movies of the inside of my pocket, but then again, I have not read the manual, which was very difficult to find. The website referred to in the Quick Start Guide did not work, and the phone is actually a G5 not a V5.

This phone can handle almost anything I put on it. However, camera, video, and audio really sucks. I do not recommend playing games, watching movies, or listening to music. But if you are a freelancer, excellent phone for your company needs

No curbside even though it said curbside... I waited in the spot where it said curbside and no one came... Reversed and honked the horn the person outside even seen me still no one came so we just stayed and parked there and went inside after awhile... Inside was a long line because only one register was open at the time and then FINALLY opened the other... All this for a pickup
