BLU - V50 32GB (Unlocked) - Black

BLU is rather new to me. Not sure who makes this nor where it originated from, but she a good phone. The price point is excellent in relation to how this V50 operates. Some glitches tho, that I really blame on the updates, as they happened after one large one come. Many of these were fixed in settings. GPU for instance, was set to high after the update causing freezing.. lag.. almost shot it like a hockey puck when I first found out. Stability is the only issue. A SD Card is a must for this. She seems picky on the type SD. I put in some off brand 32Gb and didn't like it. Then a Sansdisk 32 that she was more content with. If this phone is first gen.. I understand. Anything still in trial is going to be.. well.. this. If not then BLU needs to really think about their product line in relation to what Android gives it, much more the custom UI it has. There is no bloatware. Another plus. I gave it 4 stars for the price point, and what comes in the box: A really good hard case, and the charging stuff. Really good quality items there. The phone has ups and downs. Android likes to be restarted every so often, and that seems to work here. It is the same size of an S20. Specs are a little different, but not much, from processor speed to camera (Only one in the BLU, tho.) Both have a fingerprint sensor. BLU copied Motorola for theirs, as Samsung has it on their screen. If you want cheap, but quality cheap, this is it. I have the lower end. V70 and others have better guts, and the price doesn't get too crazy. Spend a thousand on a name, or couple hundred on same tech, without a sticker of some high end company. Pictures don't really do it justice. BB, y'all need to work on keeping aspects in your photo arrangement.

System UI is not responding, this pop up has happened last week. Maps acts up. I need the phone for my job. And it is completely unreliable. I will have to take it back

This phone isn't going to win any rewards but I can say it's been a good to me for the days that come by. I normally don't use smartphones for heavy uses but it does it job well for basic use like calling, texting, light apps/games, pictures and so on. Pros: -Comes with a case and a screen protector out of the box! -Screen is vibrant and colorful, angles to view are decent. -Battery life is fairly long for light applications (YouTube, Camera etc) charging to full takes a few hours from low battery to full. -Sound quality is good for internal speakers -Camera is ok for taking pictures indoors and outdoors Cons: -Performance is average for going though apps, multitasking etc. -Calling quality is subpar, even when the HQ setting for wifi/4G network. -Limited 2GB ram that might test your patience. Overall this isn't a bad phone, just not a good one either... More in the middle for basic needs which is awesome for me! Anything else that requires heavy tasks for the CPU/GPU/Ram is out of the realm for this phone. As being a $100+ smartphone it's good! And I love the blue fade to black gloss finish on the back of the phone, looks a bit distinctive than fully black which is boring.

It's okay but sometimes it seems to have a mind of its own, it will change settings without me doing anything and I have to manually change WIFI connections when I go to another location that I already have in the phone, it won't do it automatically. other than that it works okay for a cheap phone

For the price you can't beat it. Good battery life. I like the BLU UI or whatever it is called that sits on top of android. Comes with a rugged case and screen protector. Wish it was faster but for the price you can't have everything.

Good phone for the price. Not as smooth as more expensive Samsungs, but for the price is good.

This phone has it all in the box, screen protector, case, and it also has some cool sticker decals that u can customize it with while you assemble it at unboxing, 4 stars!

Awesome phone, only 3 stars because at the time I could not use my Verizon sim card with them, although the store attendant told me I could. Glad I was able to exchange it for another phone.
