There are a few quirks with this phone but if you don't want to spend over $200 I doubt you'll find a better phone.

The Blu Studio XL2 is a large phone. One of the largest I've come across, which is great if you have large hands. Probably too large and too thin for carrying in your pocket, but if you like watching video, this 720p screen is incredible. A Quad Core 1.3GHz. processor makes this phone quite snappy. A Dual Core GPU at 600MHz makes video silky smooth. Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Dual Micro-Sim, MicroSD slot and a 4900 mAh. Li-po battery round out my list of important features. Oh yes, there's more.
Up here in the Granite State, "coverage can be spotty". Wouldn't it be nice if you could use any cell service. This unlocked phone connected with the Net10 service gets me the coverage others only dream of. This phone can connect with UMTS, EDGE, GPRS, HSPA+ and LTE Cat4 so it covers a lot of bases. A 13 Megapixel main camera and a 5 Megapixel "Selfie" Camera are near the top of the spectrum available today. Of course, one of the best features is what's missing... Bloatware.
Is the XL2 comparable to an $600.00+ phone? In many ways, yes. Are there any dealbreakers? For me, No.

I love the dual SIM capability of this phone. I'm currently working in England and was looking for an unlocked phone. While stateside this week , I purchased this phone and find it very affordable for the capabilities it provides.

Well, it's large, well stick out of your back pocket. terrible speakers. Even on the highest setting, it sounds like a whisper. My old phone to take picture you just touched the screen, this one a button on screen or you can change it to the volume button. Battery life. on all day, uses about 25% of battery. Hard to find many cases for it, seems to be only about 3 out their. hard to see screen in daylight. on/off button is below volume buttons. USB port is on top.

If you can get over a weak speaker this phone gives you everything out the box and won’t leave a hole in your pocket. Perfect work phone or secondary.

Replaced dead Samsung 5 with this unlocked phone for wife. Works fine on TMOBILE network, no complaints. Size at first a little intimidating to her, but she loves it now. No bloat ware, all the standard apps available. Camera seems ok. Would suggest to anyone for the price.

Phone works as well as the big names for the usual smart phone stuff. Only issue at purchase was that Best Buy did not have the correct TMobil sim card, but a local TMObie store did. No big deal.
