    Excellent Device! I have only had this device for about 3 days now, and have been using hands on since then. I like BLU for their cheap Android phones; this one is no exception. I had the BLU View 2, released back in 2020, and was replaced by the BLU View 4 sometime last year, and compared to this phone, blows it out of the water. Some of the main improvements are: Android 14 Better Cameras Raise to Wake Great Build Quality Very Responsive Over the BLU View 3 and 4, running Android 12 (with the BLU View 2 running 11) 14 is a big increase with more support. This phone has joined most other phones with dual-camera setups which aren't the best, but still take fine shots when you have the correct lighting. One more touch, which is more of a tech-savvy thing, this phone, sold by Tracfone, does not have as many indications as a Tracfone device, with no boot animation or badge on the back, it's mainly the software that can be disabled easily. After activating this phone for 60 days, it can be unlocked and used as a regular phone. So overall, this is an amazing phone for $30, one of the greatest I think. With the newest version of Android, Good Cameras, Fast Phone, and much more, it's an excellent option. Even if you don't use Tracfone, activate using a cheap plan, and you can get the phone unlocked in 2 months using it with any carrier!

    For the price phone is great. Just buy your plan. Bought for kids to use when we are not home or when they are with friends. Not good to use for web related stuff, phone is slow.

    This phone is perfect for its price, has good camera quality and works very well, the only downside that I see is it gets a little bit laggy here and there but not to much. Overall I think this phone is a good choice for the right price.

    This phone is very slow to turn on and when it does 90% of the time the apps do not open it claims that they are not responding giving you the choice to wait or to close the app, if you choose to wait; it gives you about a minute to once again choose to either wait or close. If you close the app and open again you go though the whole thing again. I can't even make call, but it send messages ok.

    I grabbed this phone when my 15-year-old was about to fly cross country solo; I didn’t want him to have to rely on Wi-Fi airport if he needed to communicate, and this was a great solution. It’s still a smart phone, but I purchased the $20 Call with limited data, so he could call and text unlimited, but when he runs out of data, too bad! This works so much better than an expensive calling plan with unlimited screen time!

    Works great for the price although dropping it from 2 foot was the end of it. Best Buy said it was available same day pick up but was not. They did ship it to me free but took a couple days.

    I got this phone while my phone was getting repaired. It is incredibly slow, and had dificulty bluetoothing files, as well as sending pictures. I also disliked the messaging, it forces you to use your google to message which is very invasive, you can disable afterwords but can still get set back to being on. As far as a burner for a few days it worked, let me make calls and texted and thats all I can really ask for.

    THIS phone works and is actually ok except I didn't realise how cheaply the operating system etc is made. For example after using it for a few weeks when it rings you have to put password in just to answer it. Would not recommend this phone. For the money I guess it's ok

    Works great. Sim and iMessage were easy to locate and bring online. Apps were easy to negotiate. Lost our previous landline and needed to make a change due to Comcast/Xfinity offering a service.

    Worked well but a little slow and camera quality was a bit grainy. It also glitched out when I got 11 messages, then later it went completely black.

    $30 phone what do you expect. If you load apps on it the phone will slow down to the point where you will pull out your hair and want to get a new phone. The calling slows down and the messenger is torture to wait to load up. I don't see any reason in buying this.
