    This phone gives me all I was looking for. It has ample storage for the apps I use and the battery last all day. I'm not big on taking photos until I discovered this phone has a front flash.

    This is not a "flagship" phone, but those phones are overly expensive and are really not worth the price. This phone gives you everything you need... remember, it's a CELL PHONE, not a desk-top computer. That's what I want it and use it for.

    Capable Android phone

    This is my first Android phone after an iPhone 4. I have had the Blu Life Max almost.a month now. It's dual SIM so I can have two lines. It's very light weight and feels like it would not survive a fall to the floor I will put it in a better case ASAP. The phone is capable and It's decently responsive. The screen requires solid contact During game play. The camera is adequate but a bit slow and the images are not as crisp as I am used to. The battery easily lasts all day. Less if I play games on it. I do wish the manual explained what all of the stock features indicators are. I had to search the Internet. The flashing Blue led means there are new messages. It's a nice phone at the $100 price point.

    I bought this phone for a friend in Jamaica and so far she is loving it. It meets her needs and she is quite satisfied. The picture quality is excellent and battery life is not bad overall.

    I have no problem with this phone. I am a Samsung phone fan and In between waiting for S8 and I actually like this simple but functional phone. Fingerprint is fast unless hand wet or has something on it. Everything runs smoothly. I have phone for 4 days now and no problem. Battery not great but last a say and half.

    I works ok with two different companies, I like the option of having fingerprint sensor, and the speed is ok, it's a better phone than I expected for the price.

    Cant go wrong with this phone if your trying to use it for a year or as a burner phone... Does what every high end phone can do with ease.. The only time it starts to slow down is when you try to multi task with apps that consume a ton of ram... So if you keep your usage simple.. you shouldn't have a issue with this phone.. plus build quality is amazing for the price

    This is the best phone for the money ever. This phone has a fingerprint lock and a back up number passcode. Thin and light and cpmes with a screen protector installed. I had no problem getting it set up and working and I don;t know much about these things. The self setup built in to the phone worked great. And about 1/6th the price of other unlocked phones.

    I only buy unlocked cell phones because I like the freedom of not having a contract. Since I have both lost phones and have had them stolen, I don't want to pay too much for them. I have owned a Nokia Windows phone (which I loved, by the way until I couldn't find apps for them) and a Kata (off brand). I lost the Kata a few weeks ago; while it was an annoying inconvenience and unexpected expense, I was relieved because I hated that phone. I had heard that the BLU was a pretty good, inexpensive smartphone and while browsing the Best Buy site for unlocked cell phones, I found an unlocked Life Max for an affordable price. With good reviews, I purchased. I have only been using the phone for a little over a week, but I LOVE it! Fast, holds a charge, takes good pictures and has a lot of extra storage (even without the SD card that I purchased). The phone even came with Wall plug/USB charger, earphones, a protective case and screen protector (subpar, but I was able to buy a glass protector online inexpensively). For the price, I am very happy with the BLU Life Max cell phone. The shipping was fast and it arrived exactly as advertised. Glad I checked with Best Buy first!

    I caught the blu life max on special for $75 which was a great price. .For a basic phone it does a decent job. It has good specs for a budget smart phone . And the look and feel isn't bad, the finger print scanner works very well also . As for the battery life that depends on the user. Unfortunately my phone has one major bug. With the drop down menu being extremely sensitive .Whenever i use the phone for calls and press it gently against my ear. The screen does not go blank, or black as it should. The drop down menu appears constantly. And or other apps will open. I have dropped several calls because of it. Or had to close several apps to return to my conversation. Its very frustrating, sadly because overall its a decent phone for the price point. I'll have to return mine because this problem renders the phone useless to me

    It is still a pretty big phone, however I did not know that you could install a windows launcher onto android. I like it better now that it has a windows like interface, much easier to find and do things. Cannot get my outlook calendar on the home screen yet, but I am working on it. Got a few more days to play before deciding whether to keep. For the price, its pretty good though
