    Wonderful phone for the price. Nice features and simple to navigate. However, not quite sure about the top loading connections. Will just get used to it. Good speed, good camera, easy handling, acceptable.

    Really am enjoying my camera. Disappointed that there wasn't a book on how to set up.. learning slowly but surely. I had my grandson show me lots of apps and how to add them.

    At this price $129.00 I bought this phone 3months ago,till this date I didn't find any issue with software or battery lasting. Screen is pretty sensitive so I recommend apply screen guard which comes with the phone, If your a person like me who uses phone for texting,calls,music,simple photography and Google searcher. This is the no1 option for you

    Got this for one of the younger kids in the house. Perfect fit, as a superphone isn't needed for a child. Excellent Storage and Ram for the price. Has the fingerprint security and came with a case too which is awesome as we all know how rough kids can be on everything. Not worried about him not being able to reach me now. World is going crazy yo. Gotta be able to keep tabs on your progeny. Thanks Blu.

    I grabbed this as a phone that I could use because my old Samsung Galaxy S7 started over heating. It isn't that expensive and if I choose to, I can play around with networks. I haven't had any issues with running out of memory yet and it was fairly easy integrating things off my old phone. Pros: It's not expensive. I think it was about $130ish when I bought it. I have continued to call it my burner phone cause how I can change out networks or the phone itself if absolutely needed to (not rich just didn't use this as my phone upgrade). It's pretty easy to use. All the apps are alphabetically ordered so also you have to do is remember your ABCs. Also I think when I moved things from my old Samsung onto this I added my Samsung Internet and the Samsung Health app unintentionally. I'm actually okay with that but do with I didn't have to open the health app everyday to count my steps. It hasn't broken considering how clumsy I can be. The phone came with a pretty flimsy case but I know that this has dropped on the floor a few times and there are no really signs of damage. Cons I went to a theme park and reserved a spot in line to get on a ride. When the attend tried to scan my phone he couldn't. I checked my brightness and it was up at full blast. I feel like a few times during phone calls I get muted when I have not touched the screen. You would think that it is a high sensitivity to holding it up to my face but I will have it on speaker and laying flat then all of a sudden the person on the other line is like "Hello". The photos on my phone are not as clean as my old Samsung. Though my old phone overheats I didn't let it go because there where a few things that didn't come off the phone. I have taken phones on auto on both phones and the quality is better on the S7. Lately it is having charging issues. I will admit that I I sometimes will let the batter go for longer than I should between charges but I have been using this for only about 6 months. Plugged it into one micro SB charger (my old Samsung and have done it before) one afternoon for a few hours and it wasn't above 30%. I plugged it in last night into the charger that it came with and when I woke up it was only at 33%. Thought I would hold onto this phone for a while but if I have to I will finally upgrade on my plan and go back to Samsung.

    This is my 3rd Blu Phone and I am again impressed...Great storage 64gb...terrific cameras and very quick and responsive operating system..the fingerprint security also a plus.. A couple minor cons..the charging port is on top of phone..and it also takes a few minutes to figure out how to open the cover to insert the battery and sim card. I would highly recommend this phone as an inexpensive alternative ...

    I've been skeptical about BLU phones in the past, and still not sure about privacy issues, but this phone is excellent for the price. The processor is speedy enough, and there is plenty of storage space at 64 GB. The screen looks very good, and hopefully it is not going to break easily as I've heard that is common in BLU phones. I really like that they provided the screen protector and the clear protective cover with the phone. All the features work as they should (calls, texts, photos, apps). Really, nothing to complain about so far.

    If you just want an inexpensive replacement Android phone, this phone is for you. It has the features of Samsung phones that cost 10 times what this cost. It is running Android 9, has 2 "average" front and rear cameras, can hold 2 Sim cards, a decent processor, fingerprint sensor and 64 gigs of storage. What it doesn't have is a long lasting battery, wireless charging, a great sounding speaker, and a lot of choices to find cases to fit it because of a rear speaker placement. I'd still rather spend my money on value that I think this phone has and spend the savings on a great DSL camera.

    I bought this. This works as good or even better than the Note4 I had and has more features for less cost. The only thing I miss a little is the writing stylus it had. At first it was hard to figure out how to open it. There is a small notch that is in the lower edge at the FRONT side of the side (not the back side as most would think. When it's removed, the whole back plate includes the sides). So far, so good. Hope it stays good. The only negative is I haven't been able to find a replacement battery or many accessories for it.

    I've had this for about a month and a half and am very happy with it so far. There is no bloatware and it works good with no lag. The price is very good for what you get. At this price, you do not see many phones that have this much memory (64GB) with a newer OS version and a removable battery. If you had an older model phone before and don't expect the latest expensive features like 5G, super high megapixels, etc. then you will like it. I had a Samsung Note 4 before this and could not upgrade the Android OS to a newer version and started having problems with it. When I ended up dropping it in a pool and it didn't work anymore, I bought this. This works as good or even better than the Note4 I had and has more features for less cost. The only thing I miss a little is the writing stylus it had. At first it was hard to figure out how to open it. There is a small notch that is in the lower edge at the FRONT side of the side (not the back side as most would think. When it's removed, the whole back plate includes the sides). So far, so good.

    Appreciate the extra items included in the box and not usually provided (free) with a purchased phone: earbuds and a clear gel holder. Phone has a great feel in my (small) hands. However, instant start guide has very little info, and this phone is not as "intuitive" as previous phones I've used. It's taking a while to learn how to navigate all the set up options. (Had to go on line to learn how to set up my voice mail.). The camera does take very sharp pictures. All in all, I'm pleased with this purchase.

    The price for the phone was good, and I liked the fact that it provides a basic protector with screen protector as well. But it doesnt come with instructions you have to go to website for it, and the reception is horrible. It drops calls and takes forever to dial if Im inside a building. Basically I would recommend as a backup phone to when your phone needs to be repaired or to give to child. But not for a person that relies on their phone for everything.

    Great change from Windows phone...

    Changed to this Android phone due to Microsoft killing my previous Windows 10 phones. I selected it due to it's physical size, bright screen and, most importantly due to aging vision, ability to make screen icons larger. Overall size and thin profile fits my pockets easily. It is speedy in Apps and responds quickly to inputs, messages, etc. I'm not a power user (videos, games, social media, etc.) so phone is not loaded with Apps. Battery life for my usage is minimum 3-4 days between charges. Upon setting up the phone it captured and downloaded data and photos, etc., from my Windows Cloud so the transition was pretty seamless. Only minor files required touch up and adding a few new Apps (Weather, Maps, DejaOffice (I have years of PalmPilot business data)) to complete the transition. Only negative is the initial constant ads pushed from Google but I have found if continually deleting them they appear less and less. Occasionally a message appears saying "we notice you delete many of these ad notifications...would you like to continue receiving them?" Select no and they become fewer. Overall I like the phone. bright screen, fast response, long battery life. Also it comes with a silicone sleeve and two screen protectors in the box (one of which is glass) and earbuds. Price easily fits the budget and since life doesn't revolve my phone an expensive one is wasting money. Transition from my Windows Phone has been easier than anticipated.

    my wife breaks her phone a lot so we decided rather than pay lots of money for a new phone we would get this one. It works and if it breaks we can get more for the price.

    I purchased this mobile in an emergency as a replacement for a good friend in Cameroon who's Mobile was stolen. I tried the features through WiFi and found the device nearly up to par with my Samsung S10. My buddy in Cameron reports he prefers it to his former mobile and that it functions well, is reliable and connected easily to all services he needed. I recommend this for parents buying for students, young people and anyone who simply needs a reliable smartphone.
