    The Trac phone is Fairly good. Gets slow often turning on or operating. But otherwise it's okay considering what i paid for it.

    "Slow as molasses" - and "glitchy", too!

    Background context... I bought this phone when I thought my TCL A3 (which is frozen on Android 11) was becoming obsolete, as several crucial apps stopped functioning correctly. The problem was with the apps (Thanks, developers!), so I've continued to use it, only using this Blu as a tablet, for now. That being said... Using this device only for internet browsing and app activities has proven to be a big letdown. It's likely due to the processor, which is no more powerful (2Gz) than my TCL. Having double the memory (64Gb) is of little benefit, when the phone repeatedly lags, or is frequently "glitchy". One common occurrence: wake device/enter password/reach home screen/swipe right (to see the web articles page) - no response. Try a second/third time: after several more seconds of delay, navigation buttons at the bottom flash black/back to white and screen finally appears, after pages flash, as well. This is just one of the ways this unit is painfully slow to respond - none of which I have with my TCL. With the caveat that I haven't used it as an activated phone yet, I cannot recommend this device: I'm seriously considering just moving on to another device/bypassing it, once apps will no longer function on the TCL.

      Hi. This is Redje from TracFone Wireless. Thank you for sharing your detailed experience with the Tracfone BLU Flex. We understand your frustration with the performance you've encountered, particularly when using it for internet browsing and app activities. We appreciate you providing specific examples of the lag and glitching you've observed, such as the delayed response when navigating to the home screen and the flashing navigation buttons.


      We acknowledge your concerns regarding the processor's performance and how it impacts your overall user experience. As you mentioned, even with increased memory, the processor's speed plays a crucial role in the device's responsiveness.

      We also want to emphasize that while you've used the device primarily as a tablet, the performance can sometimes be affected by the software and specific app interactions. We recommend ensuring that your device's software is up-to-date and that you're using the latest versions of your apps.

      If you decide to activate the BLU Flex as a phone in the future, please keep in mind that network conditions and app compatibility can also influence performance.

      We value your feedback and will share it with our product development team to help improve future devices. If you have any further questions or require assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our customer support team through social media platforms. We're here to help you get the most out of your Tracfone experience. tracfone-wireless

    It was a GREAT phone to use for like a spotify music player at my setup. I definitely recommend this phone. It never lagged and it never crashed... the only downside is the startup, it takes like 5 minutes for it to actually boot up even if you restart the phone. But its a really good phone

    I recently purchased a Tracfone Blu View phone from Best Buy. The phone was $29.99, but all I had to pay was only 10 dollars. Best Buy emailed me two certificates, one was for 5 dollars and the other one for 15 dollars. The phone works great and thanks to Best Buy’s certificates, I got it for a great price.
