Does everything I need @ a third Of the price no need to pay more

The camera has very good pictures and the phone is very cheap.

Huawei released a phone with very similar specs and the exact same price point a few weeks after this phone with the added benefits of a fingerprint reader that can be used for gestures as well as to unlock the phone and make purchases as well as a machines metal unibody design not unlike most non-plastic Apple products.

Had this phone for three months now and I like it more everyday I use it. Battery life is real good using OS Lollypop.

Perfect phone for someone who doesn't worry much about the low price of the phone itself. It has a really good appearance and quality. I love the gold color. Much nicer in person than on the website images. The gold is subtle, it's not as gold as it appears to be on the images.

Good Camera quality and processor (Ram) affordable

Love everything about this phone, the build, the specs, and especially the price.

Great camera, very slick design, good speed and lots of storage for the price.

It has plenty of storage and is fast enough. However, with Blu's default skin, there is no app drawer. But, still a good phone for the price.

Have only used Samsung and IPhone until now I wanted a phone that would be a clone of the Samsung Galaxy Note. This phone does a really good job! Would definitely recommend and would re-purchase again!

The Unlocked BLU VIVO 5 Smartphone was a much better unit than the older Samsung Galaxy Ace Style 765C that I inherited from my sister (my first smartphone). What a dog! The Samsung was like DOS to the BLU Windows in all respects or a Ford Model A to a (pick you own choice of a SUPERCAR) for comparison. I like the Bugatti Veyron for comparison.

In desperate need of a new phone (and not an iPhone) I settled on the Samsung J3. Almost immediately returned it. Cheap, thin, awkward to hold, hated the system. Found this Vivo 5 and it is amazing. Ergonomicaly correct with the volume buttons on the right, fast processor, no cons yet.

Apart from camera every think good when compare to price. camera is not good. light weight and slim.

So far so good. I was impressed by how beautiful the phone looked when I first received it. I have not ran into any lagging problems yet.

First, if you are looking for an unlocked solid phone on a budget, this could be it. I am on ATT so my primary concern was that this phone only has LTE bands 2, 4, 7. The Vivo XL has all 5 LTE bands but that one isn't available. I've never seen it available; so I took the plunge on this larger ROM/RAM phone and all metal twin of the Vivo xl. So far this phone has no issues with LTE and I get LTE 80% or 90% of the time and 4G the rest. The phone has 32GB so I was happy with that when compared to XL. The phone is about the exact size of the IPhone 6Plus and the actual screen is larger than the 6Plus. The screen itself is perfect with no issue; I'm not a screen junkie though. You cannot tell it's lower pixel density. The Blu skin for Android is nice but not perfect. I do like, NOT having an app drawer; unlike others. This to me, is more like Apple ios since all apps on screens and you can create folders. The phone is all metal no plastic and its slim and nicely built. I have no sound issues and watching videos is nice. I've had this phone a week and I will say that I was catching a 4G signal in certain malls and coffee shops(that are known for poor signal areas) when my wife's iPhone(ATT) wasn't getting any signal at all. So my fears are gone about the signal issue and I do get LTE. I guess it depends on the area you live in as well; so I would try it and then return it within their 14 day window if you get poor signal.

Looks great feels great, could use a better speaker but not big issue. It's durable

Apart from camera pics quality phone is good.overall good for new phone users.
