    So far, everything's good & working! Haven't had any problems, but maybe when an incoming call, it gives me the "BLÜ" logo colorful screen! So, not able to answer! Lol Still haven't figured it out, but planning to, soon! SA

    It does seem impressive at first glance but the more I use it the less I like it. I have an older BLu phone which seems more versatile, since it takes both large and mini sim cards, It also cost $50 less. I listen to music a lot and my older Moto G seems to have a lot better sound quality and phone call quality. Also this is a lot bigger than anything else I have used and it seems to take a lot of effort to lug around.

    The size of the phone was cool, And it had some cool features...after a week it basically fell apart. It wouldn't stay on while charging constant reboots on its own, random bootloops It wouldn't receive messages from a good amount of contacts. The phone started off with 5 stars and then it dropped to no stars. Sorry Blu maybe next time.

    This is an OK phone for the money. The internal storage is small, so be sure to pick up a micro SD card with it.

    The model has 8GB memory. Almost 90% was consumed by the OS and needed aps. There was not enough room to store few pictures or download some new basic apps. Though less price this phone with 8GB is not something one would want to buy.

    This was a decent phone for the price for about 2 weeks, then it started to have issues with the display (it would pixelate in different parts of the phone) and the charging port is cheap, if the screen didn't stop working after a few weeks, the charging port would have given out in a month.

    Great basic phone: not complicated yet still many updated features. My only minor complaint would be a lack of tech support: you have to go to YouTube for directions.

    I was thrilled to find an unlocked, inexpensive smart phone for my upcoming long-term trip to Europe, but reality is a bit different. It's basically a paperweight. The sales lady said she had several friends who loved the phone. The selling point for me was the two SIM card slots and one SD slot. I bought a 128 SD card. No matter what we do, we cannot get anything to save to the SD card. Since the phone only has 8g internal, it's all used up. I cannot download any more apps, music, nothing. Nothing will save to the SD card. It's mounted, it's recognized by the phone. It took forever for Google contacts to sync. Finally it did. Now I cannot get my Google calendar to sync with the phone. I'm so sick of playing with this thing. I have not used it as a phone yet because I need a calendar and since that's not syncing, it's a paperweight for me. Save your money. Don't buy it.
