    It's not the most high-end phone, but for less than $150 it may as well be. If you're a power-user, it may not satisfy all your criteria; on the other hand, if you're a power-user with a tight budget, I doubt the BLU Studio X Plus can be beat. The only major issue I have with it is the battery life, BUT I've never had any Android product from any manufacturer ever that didn't have the same sh**ty battery life (I ditched my Samsung GSIII, which had the same pathetic battery life, for this phone). So I'm not sure if the battery issue is a manufacturer issue or an operating system issue. 4 stars for having good features with a great price.

    Plan C

    Over the last few years my money has been tight. I am one of those guys who WANTS the best money can buy but the latest & greatest was just to much money. I use 1 phone, for work & personal use now (dual sim). A screen large enough to read and use. Plus all the normal features. Cons- some features don't perform to my high expectation, they still work well enough. The details in the user guide leave a lot out. For what we call basic use today this a great deal. Bottom line. Don't spend, no don't waste $$$ on a $700+ flagship device for your kid. Get a BLU phone and make them earn their own cash to buy whatever. You save and you win. This was my plan C and it should have been plan A.

    If your AT&T phone breaks while still under contract, there's no need to buy a $700 phone... this little baby will fill the bill. While not quite as fast as a Samsung Note 3, it's still the same size and has decent speed and other specs. Great daylight camera (night suffers a bit), and good amount of memory for lots of apps. Will support up to 64GB MicroSDXC card. Biggest complaint is the battery life. I use it alot during the day, and I have to charge it by the afternoon. Nice thing is that you can have an extra battery and swap at will. If you get the phone, don't even bother with the extended warranty. It will cost as much as the phone does.

    I had to replace my HTC phone and didn't want a contract. The price was good and the phone does the same things as the expensive ones. Nice pictures and video, calls are good. Overall I like the phone. I just need to remember that the body of the phone is not metal. I drop things a lot.

    bought this phone for my wife as a quick replacement phone prior to our vacation. It's about the same size as my Note 3, so I was very happy with the screen size and clarity. My wife found it a bit too big coming from an old HTC model phone. The phone is quick and responsive and the battery lasts at least 2 days on a full charge.(only using it as a phone, not an entertainment center) The Bluetooth had a bit of trouble linking up with her car but eventually worked out. It comes with a case (which is great as there aren't any available) screen protector and charger. (Standard micro usb) She has been using it daily for over a month and really seems to like it. Great value.

    Blu might not be the next big thing, but it delivers on what it have. Great price for a smart phone, unlocked and you can add all the different sim card and wireless standard. So if you want something good and espcially if you are taking it out of the country go for it.

    Purchased this phone because it was an unlocked, dual SIM. I use it with an international SIM card. Phone works great and worked great while I was abroad. Camera could be better, but all in all, great for travel.

    I picked up this phone for the screen size, clean install of Android 5.0 and the price. While all that is great, the performance of this phone is lacking. While some of that is to be expected at this price point, it's not worth the trade off. While I could accept an app taking 3-4 seconds longer to load, what I couldn't accept were apps constantly crashing and only being able to have a handful open at a time. I ended up returning this phone and going back to my older Android phone. If you have to have the screen size at this price, then it's not a bad deal if you can accept the trade offs. But for my money I would look for a used or refurbished flagship of some sort before going with this one.

    I have had this phone for a little over a month and I LOVE it. This phone has no bloatware on it to take up all of the internal memory. I was able to get it activated through Cricket Wireless/ ATT quickly with no hassles. BLU released the update for Lolipop last week so the OS is up to date with other more expensive models. I was skeptical about the camera quality since it is only 8MP but the pictures look fantastic. I took a picture of my cat's face close up and you can see every little hair on her. Much better quality than my 13MP camera on my previous phone. The size of the phone took some getting used to but the thinness of the phone makes up for it. I am still able to put the phone in my back pocket with no problems. My only complaint is that there is hardly any accessories available for this manufacturer. The phone does come with its own TPU frosted skin/ case but I wish there were other options available for purchase. don't hesitate to get this phone, you wont regret it!

    I love the phone, camera and APPS updates. Also, the price is not bad. The only CON is the volume is very low and the phone keep freezing while in use.

    Previously purchased a Blu phone and worked good, this particular product is excellent.. It is fast, and looks and feels like the competitors. The screen is excellent, it is big but its good when surfing and or using as GPS for driving. Love this product and brand, would definitely buy and recommend to friends.. the price is right and great quality. The phone has not let me down.

    Sure this doesn't have the build quality or specs of the top of the line Nexus, Samsung, or Apple phones but does a reasonable job for about one quarter the price of the 'flagship' models. Battery life is only fair at best so don't expect a full day of power use without having your charger ready. Includes a thin protective case and screen protector.

    This phone is capable of competing with many of the flagship phones on the market, but at only a fraction of the price. The only thing keeping me from giving 5 starts is the fact that it is only capable of HSPA+ data speeds, not true 4G LTE. But as long as you are on an AT&T network, the HSPA+ speeds should be fast enough for the typical user.

    This Blue phone has a 5.5" touch screen which makes searching, texting a blast. It is a GSM unlock phone which is what we needed so when we travel overseas we can supposedly still use the phone. The Dual SIM Card is a great feature if another SIM card is needed overseas. Color is good, Std 8 GB memory is great. This phone has the older version of Android Operating system - Kit kat which we prefer as it has less issues than Lollipop. Was able to buy all the accessories reasonably priced from Amazon - ArmorFlex hard case backing to protect phone, AIScell EX Large Prem Canvas Nylon Heavy Duty carrying case, Supershieldz tempered glass screen protector.. Takes a while (hrs) to charge the battery when it is low. The only thing missing is there is no WIFI calling feature which is necessary if you can't get phone signal at home due to cell tower blockages (hills...) Overall very pleased with this phone if you just need a smartphone to make calls, search web, text.. without having to pay an arm and leg for cost of a phone or be tied down to a contract. Went with Tmobile Simple Choice plan - Unlimited everything with 4G $50/mo. Go BLU!!!

    The phone has a good quality display. The sound volume is good but could be better, especially when using the hands free speaker. It has a good processing speed for normal Web surfing. Online gamers will want a faster speed. The phone handles well for its size. I love that there is no bloat ware or necessary apps that I don't want cluttering up the system. There are only a few from google. The battery gets me through the day with minor Web surfing and game playing but must be charged every night. Overall a decent phone for simple, limited online use.

    I really enjoy this phone. It is unlocked and gives me the opportunity to switch between SIM cards when I travel. I do not have much use for a phone and this was perfect because I can connect to WIFI with it and kill time. I recommend this phone.

    So not a techie but I love this phone. Went on web site for best buy to look for a replacement for my samsung galaxy when my puppy ate it... did the on- line chat which was extremely helpful. Went to the nearest store - and there it was. This phone had the most bang for the buck... good camera (8mp), easy to upload to social media, easy texting, lots of available apps, reasonably short charge time. Came w/ black case and screen protector. Great deal for the price!
