    Purchased this as a replacement for my brother who is having eye issues. He couldn't see the other phone because it was small. He is able to see the large display.

    Never again. Since purchasing I found out that this phone is generic and is branded by several lower end companies. The worst phone I've ever purchased. Picture quality is poor. Battery life is very short. Also, touchscreen doesn't always work so if you're in an emergency, better start praying. My fault, the screen was giving me trouble from the first week. I thought it was a glitch and would just go away, instead it got worse.

    Very good quality, look, and feel. If BLU makes more phones along this trend they can be a top tier phone manufacturer.

    I've had Blu phones in the past, and they worked great. This one is garbage. It will randomly not allow you to make outbound calls. I will stop receiving inbound calls. Software glitches and will freeze apps. Verified the problems were with the phone and not the service provider. Buy any other phone besides this one.
