    I bought this phone because I was looking for something cheap to replace my Verizon prepaid Samsung phone. I chose this phone. Once I got home I set the phone up and it wouldn't make any phone calls or text. I restarted the phone, charged it, tried everything and nothing worked. I contacted Verizon and they came to the conclusion that the phone did not work with Verizon prepaid. I asked the sales person who sold me the phone if this phone worked with Verizon Prepaid and he assured me that it did and it also showed in the description on the sales display that it did. I had to take the phone back and get a more expensive phone. This is not a phone that I would recommend

    Great display, price and storage

    I was on the fence about this purchase. I am happy I made the decision to buy this phone. The selling points are the great display, the 64gb of storage, and of course the price. I will be comparing this Blu V7 to my old phone, a Samsung J3, and the Samsung J7 I was looking to buy, and my brother's old Samsung S7 he offered to sell to me in like-new condition. Of course it is a step up from the J3. It is very comparable to the J7. Surprisingly I am choosing this over the S7. My J3 died. One day the mic was working, the next it wasn't. My headphone jack had been on the fritz. I suspect the two are related. So I needed a new phone and I knew I wanted a bigger screen than the 5" screen of the J3. I had my eye on the J7, and in talking to my brother he also offered his old Galaxy S7 for $140. I was checking out unlocked phones at Best Buy and this phone, the V7, definitely caught my eye. Probably because the big screen. Although 5.7", it is also wide so it seems bigger. In terms of area. You can have a tall, thin screen and still be 5.7" diagonally, but this is a nice wide and tall screen that clocks in at 5.7" so it has a nice big area. The screen and the price are the main selling points of this phone. The 64gb is just extra. I would say the J7 and this phone are very comparable. The V7 still has a bigger screen and is $60 - $100 less depending on where you are buying. This phone is a little sluggish, even compared to my J3. It has some Chinese entry-level processor, a "Spreadtrum". For casual usage the difference is pretty negligible. The audio on the phone is decent. Good volume. A caveat: the headphone jack is pretty terrible. The earbuds that come with it sound bad, my various Skull Candy earbuds sound bad, and even my Sennheiser 380 Pro studio headphones sound bad. My Airpods sound great though do that is what I will be using. Compared to the S7, side by side, the screen is noticably poorer in terms of resolution and contrast. The resolution is poorer for 4k HD and similar, and the contrast difference is mostly just noticable when doing a side by side comparison. I rarely use ultra high def video content, so the bigger V7 screen still wins to the day. I am choosing to the V7 over the J7 because of the screen and price. I am also choosing to the V7 over the S7, because of the 5.7" vs 5.1" screen. Which is interesting because to the S7 was a flagship phone just 3 years ago. I give four stars instead of five because to the poor headphone jack audio quality and the comparatively sluggish performance. Slightly more lag time loading and running apps. But still acceptable because of the display. I cannot speak to the durability of the phone. I fully anticipate breaking it or wanting to update it in a year and a half though anyway, just like all my phones. So, I highly recommend this purchase.

    Junk, got about 6 months out of it before it kept randomly powering off, even with 100% battery if would automatically shut down then when I powered it back on the battery would be drained, did a factory reset with no luck, Dont buy anything BLU, this was my 2nd and last BLU phone, get a Motorola Moto G Fast, its a good affordable phone with awesome features.
