Good price, but the transition between apps or opening of apps is slow compares to other phone. It would seem as if screen was not really sensitive to commands or recognition of the tapping with finger.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The phone costs $30, so anyone expecting the performance of a $150 phone is not being realistic. It does the functions you would need on a phone. It is slow if you are used to a faster phone. For the money, it is a good value.
One caution is I am not so sure the phone works well outside of the United States. I had another Blu phone that I tried to use in Mexico and it did not work well. I was not able to use it most of the time. Not sure why but I would use a different phone if you plan to travel just to be safe.

Needed a smartphone with all the bells and whistles but didn't want to spend a ton of money. This fit the bill perfectly! Kept me out of a contract situation while giving me user friendly access to all my accounts so that I could keep in touch and stay organized!

It's a nice beginner phone for someone who is just learning how to use a Android phone. I purchased it for my child and she loves it. The only two things I don't like is sometimes the device might lag a little and it doesn't have usb type c charging.

I don't use this device for phone calls so I can't vouch for call quality, but as a simple and inexpensive option for Android app use it rocks!
A:Amazing phone for games , or to use it 24 hrs / day but for video or take picture not good , because the picture not clear , I Recommend Blu [simple mobile or Tracfone ] view 2 , it's the same phone for the same company , the view 2 amazing for video and picture and for gaming , look a like Samsung phone picture or video , So buy Blu view 2 not view 1 for gaming and video , and good-luck .
A:It becomes locked once you activate the phone to a Simple Mobile pay as you go line. Therefore if planning to take it out of the country I would jot buy it. You have to pay as much for the unlocking code as the phone costs.
