I am very satisfied with my phone, the screen size is great, good battery life, excellent cameras. Accurate (GPS), I couldn’t ask for more for the price a paid, I had a Samsung S4 and IPhone 5C, to mi opinion the BLUE is better by all means. I use it overseas quite a lot because it is unlocked so I save money because I buy the local service..

The buttons are pretty hard to push, so expect to have to put a little extra effort into turning your phone on/off or changing the volume. Other than that, it does its job. I have two sim cards in mine from Family Mobile (one personal, one for my small business).
Quick note on the dual sims: one slot is a micro, the other is a standard.
Note a deal breaker, but cases are pretty tough to find. You're not going to be able to dress it up very much. It's a GREAT way to cut down on the number of phones you have to carry around, though!

The phone is a solid performer. Price is significantly lower than other popular Android brands. Processor is noticeably slower causing lag between certain screen transitions. Battery life is good when new but declined after 6 months based on my observation and less than average frequency of use.

This is my bfs phone nd his previous phones have not been the best in quality because he's a very .... um... clumsy nd forgetful guy lol so he usually refuses to pay more than 60 on a phone -__- on the rare occasion that i forget my phone at home nd was forced to use his previous phones like for gps or something, i would find my own way b4 his phones would get it together and start working.Honestly its a pretty good device, my sister has an s4 nd i could say this phone is slightly better. It does feel a bit light , sometimes too light for me but its physically a nice phone to look at. The touch sensitivity is not bad either, the only thing is tht it does slow down after a little bit of constant use and leaving apps open to run in the background, but tht is expected from any device. The camera isnt amazing but it isnt horrible, pics are adequate nd finally battery life is even better than my s5 :o so yea. Lol overall this phone is a great chice for someone who uses their phone for regular activities. Social media, text, calls, etc. prob not for a person like me who uses theirphone like a personal computer (agenda, charting, emailing, gps, phone calls , skype , etc ) lol or a person who u ses their phone to play multiple games.
Idk but in my opinion , great device.
Very surprised to see this coming from an "off brand" . I like it so much im going bck to get my mom one and maybe my sister too lol

I love it, the camera is great, the recording program can not be found with other phones, this is the best phone I've had, I use this phone for everything, including daily reminders, alarms, and appointments, I will recommend it to friends and family, the price was great also and it offers a good warranty, I've had no problems, it's good for business and personal with the options it gives you, I really enjoy my phone, and I plan not to replace it anytime soonl

I bought this phone as an inexpensive backup for my Galaxy S5. Two features of the phone that really attracted me are it's unlocked, as is my Galaxy for outside US use, and it offers dual SIM slots. If the camera feature is your main requirement, don't buy this phone, as many other phones have better cameras. If you want a phone that's a really good $$ value, works well overall, and has good vocal clarity, this BLU will serve you well. I would have rated it 4.5, if I could; but, since that's not allowed, I'm going with a 5, because it really is great for my purposes.

I had no problems at all as soon as I put my old Sim card in and sync'd my gmail accounts. The colors are great, the processor was really fast compared to my old phone! and I absolutely love the fact that I can put up to 64GB of expandable memory in my phone! That's great! I don't use the second SIM card slot yet, but it will come in very handy in the future. Plus, we can use one phone for both phone lines(boyfriend and mine) when we go out, so we don't have to double our data use or keep up with both phones. I love this phone! and the cost was soooo much more reasonable than equally functional other phones!

Got this unlocked version for my wife who is not well versed in techie stuff. Had to, and still am, walking her through the apps etc.
Phone was bought at a great price and seems to function well.
Most apps and ops are explained adequately in the downloaded manual.
Good value for money IF it holds up.

Everything is good. Easy to start with, two sim cards work together. Charging is also fast. Memory is low, sometimes it is slow.
Anyway, It is good for the price.

5 stars for getting exactly what I wanted and paid for. I purchased the BLU - Life X8 4G after giving up on the Windows phone and wanting to go off contract. Love the high quality display and Android platform. Very light weight and an excellent size for viewing everything from email to web. You can't beat the price for what you get.
