    Phone runs great!! Able to have multiple apps open, great camera! The only problems are that, sometimes the phone reboots & apps, photos & downloads, do not automatically store on the SD card. Great phone, other wise!

    I have had an iPhones for the past few years and I was waiting to get the iPhone 7 at the end of this month however I needed to get a phone sooner. I did some investigation and found out that this phone was getting great reviews. So i decided to go buy one and I do have to say... i was surprised how fast the response speed of this phone is. I don't usually take the time to write a review but, I really like this phone. I don't know if i will ever go back to the iPhone.

    It is too slow for a phone with 3GB RAM. The older version Vivo 5 seems much faster. I love the finger id part though

    I had this phone for only a few months and then the battery started having issues charging and would not stay charged for a while , I didn't like the fact that I had to send it to Florida to have it repaired when I live in Utah , POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH BLU!!!! , I ended up selling it and could not return it to the store

    I own a Vivo 5 and this one is kind of an upgrade for me. The front light for the selfie mode is very good feature, first time I've seen on any cell phone.

    I had never heard of Blu before my hip teenager nieces. She still has the phone, never had to take in for repairs and it's been almost 2 years.

    This was purchased for my 16 year old step daughter. She is a killer of phones, so spending a lot was not an option. She had a Blu phone before, and loved it over the big name phones. So it only made sense to go with Blu again. Decent battery, plenty of memory, fast processor, and it comes with the case, screen protector, ear buds and charger. So far, nothing but smiles.

    I love the phone so far. The only thing I don't is the power button is on the center of phone. Causing a lot of accidental power downs

    Have had an I-phone for the last 5 years but did not want to spend for a 6. This phone works great, got to get used to the different Android functions but once you you are good. Love the large screen, and the simple functions.
