This my friends is what all companies should be providing in their boxes especially when you pay £600+ for the device... Huawei always did this very well.Great video as always
I am glad someone I trust is doing a review on a Blu phone. I think they are getting there in terms of build quality and the only thing that worries me is updates which never come. Olen screen 120 hrts and 256 gb of storage. Honestly ,95 percent of smart phone buyers only need this level of phone. 99 percent of iPhone users are wasting the power of the chips they have. Save some money. Pair this with Mint mobile or something and save more/ stop paying 150 dollars a month for a phone bill with your new iPhone. Most Americans are struggling and we all spend money on stuff we don't need, like new cars and new phones. Take your power back!!! Too bad Visible Mobile won't support this.
Literally paying $180 a YEAR on Mint Mobile for 5gb of data, everywhere I go has WiFi and I'm paying about 90 something a month for fiber internet. I don't see how people do it, no wonder people are struggling so much, the amount of money people spend on unnecessary crap is outrageous.
It cost my mother about $26 a month over 3 years for her Iphone and service. Iphone 13 - $599 Iphone 11 Credit - $200 Net Phone Cost - $399 Cellphone Service Bill - $15 a mo. I doubt I do much betrer as an Android user.
@@TechOdyssey how in the world are you able, to get devices specifically from China? I look at carriers and I've never seen anything except just one plus plus. I know Apple+ Samsung are popular but I can't find true Chinese devices. Like redme or oppo stuff like that. Hard to find the right words on this one, hopefully you understand what I said.
Thank you for always keeping us so informed about new BLU releases, and also for this very interesting report on the Bold-N3!... As I am very interested in the new BOLD K50 released recently, I would like to know your honest opinion about this new bold phone? And if you are thinking of doing also a review on this new BOLD K50 cellphone?
Happy Holliday's to u and ur's, just got this phone and appreciate the tips and tricks. Must say for the price this Is a nice phone, nice size surprisingly thin and light, doesn't feel cheap and nice specs. What I most like Is the display the screen Is like something u would see In a Hi-End phone. Question I've been looking and trying to find another clear case for this phone, the 1 that came with It seems thin and flimsy, was wondering If u could help me out to locate 1? Also where can I get a Camera Lens screen protector? THANKS
I'm still using my blu g91 max and I just really like it and I wasn't planning on buying a new phone anytime soon. So now I'm really going to miss my g91 max but the bold n3 is just too good to pass up.
Thanks for this great review on N3! I don't know if it's too much to ask... But could you please do a full review of the new BLU BOLD K50 that was released a few weeks ago?
@@TechOdyssey Thanks for replying so quickly, I really appreciate it! Sorry to hear you don't have a BOLD K50 yet... I hope when you get one, you can give a great review, as always, of this new BLU BOLD K50 cell phone.
Thanks for the video keep up the good work if they promised even 2 years of Operating system update it would be over. I think they'd get so much more business. Anyway with that being said. I can't pass up this deal. For $200.00 bucks gotta get it!
That is a good all around package. I’ve personally had good experiences with Mediatek soc’s. These I’ve messed with tend to punch well above their weight.
Looks like a good phone with nice specs and a great price! Too bad it doesn't have a stylus or dual-firing stereo speakers. :( If it did, then I would probably buy one.
This is a very nice looking device for the price but i like the S23FE. Still might consider this if i can find it for a good price. What is happening? The days of paying the price of a used car for a phone are coming to a end, and I'm here for it!
It says it won't work with Cricket or any AT&T company. Might work with an AT&T Sim Card by Boost Mobile, Red Pocket, etc etc though. I'd check first though.
Can you do a comparison between the Blu g9 pro and bold n3 and benchmark test too. And everything else on the two. Basically Blu g9 pro vs bold n3. Can you add storage to it
Looks Very Nice for the price! Does anyone know why there's not even 1 review on All if UA-cam of the Blu G93? Is this not allowed for some reason? Im baffled.
Hi. I am from India. We have an Indian brand called as Lava here. They sell a phone called as Lava Agni 2, it feels like the same exact phone. So, are these two companies lifting off the shelf phones, rebranding them and selling them in their respective markets? It would be awesome to know your views on this as a reviewer.
looks a lot like realme 11 pro, similar camera arrangement, same display, same processor , 120hz refresh rate even rear design (black color) side buttons are also same
@ImMendota 0 seconds ago They keep the security and their own features updated. That is really the important thing. They don't abandon the phones, they just don't worry about Android updates. And at these prices, you can just choose to update the phone.
My thoughts are if you Have owned any of the Galaxy A Series or One Plus Nord Series devices it's looking like Bold N3 will be in the exact competition of performance to features to price value
@@TechOdyssey okay still a good phone though too bad BLU didn't announce this phone they probably were focusing on the release trailer of the bold n3. The Blu g93 seems like the successor to last year's model with the Blu g91 max
New phone cool, what happens when you have issues with the phone and customer support doesn’t help?! I have bought several phone from blu over the years all of them have gone bad after a year. Several issues with them, battery, forced updates, OS issues, very buggy and slow. I do not recommend and will not spend a dime on blu phones!
I wish can be blessed with the blu bold n3 5g unlocked phone. Because God knows I need a phone like this would be good phone for my job I do front desk.
I got news for everyone, BLU is one of the worst companies I've even dealt with, their phones are total garbage but then again every phone in existence is and cannot even do much of anything. Their customer service is absolutely disgusting because they outright refuses to help with anything, they go so far as to start blacklisting any number you call in with when they find out it's you. The phone I had was the V91 which somehow got the name changed to g91, out of the nowhere started resetting twice a day every day at random, during calls It would reset, The internal storage is a lie, says it had 128 GB nope more like 2gb because the storage was full after taking 2 videos that were less than 1 minute. I eventually put an additional micro SD card for more storage and the phone wouldn't ever use it, and nothing could be moved onto it The phone had no settings option, Then again I have never seen any phone that has a settings option. Screenshots couldn't be edited or deleted Downloading pictures from the net couldn't be done BLU is just bad
The only problem with Blu phones is that they don't update the software hardly at all, compared to Samsung, which updates for years. Nice looking phone, though.

I wish the blu bold n3 had a pop up camera like the blu bold n1, the older one plus phones and my vivo nex s. My vivo nex s is no longer compatible with at&t or cricket wireless ever since at&t shutdown there 3g network and it affects the consumers that use unlocked phones on any prepaid service provider that uses the at&t network. I used to have tmobile but I switched years ago from tmobile to at&t and than cricket wireless because the coverage is better and the internet is faster on cricket wireless and cricket wireless is owned by at&t and uses the at&t network and towers. I used to be able to use almost any unlocked phone or even an unlocked verizon phone with at&t and cricket wireless but that is no longer the case any more. I even have a smartwatch that runs full android that uses a physical sim card and I even put my cricket wireless physical sim card and it used to be compatible with cricket wireless but that is no longer supported with cricket wireless anymore. At&t sucks when it comes to using unlockeds phones since at&t only approved certain model of phones. Even verizon allows unlocked phones on there network and verizon is the most expensive cell service provider.
Blu sounds good on paper for an extra phone (for me at least) but their Aria headphones I bought were crap and the battery was lucky to last 45 minutes before going dead! Got two like that then got a refund! 😂. Not spending that kind of money for a smartphone!
You can not buy this phone...only one seller on Amazon ...out of stock no date or or info on stock . Blu website only one it will not allow you to order or give information on phone sales. Best Buy does not list phone neither does any US sellers offer this phone for sale none..wth is up..Chinese company is there a problem here we don't know about ...Yet !
@@TechOdyssey I'm just pointing out a fact. What smart phone manufacture doesn't have inventory on a new phone? This scared me off from buy a BLU product.. no support.
@@TechOdyssey I'm just saying cause I've had phones with mediatek & I couldn't play Hardcore games on them. Don't get me wrong the Bold N3 Looks amazing but I would like a stronger processor. Make a Gaming Review of the Blue bold N3
@@Romeosjr this isn’t a flagship chip. Probably the reason you had bad experiences with mediatek chips for gaming is because most phones in the U.S. that have them are budget phones. Even with a budget snapdragon you’re not getting good gaming performance. They have flagship chips but they never make it to the U.S. in phones. But they make some excellent chips

Wow. A phone company that still gives you accessories in the box. I hope they're rewarded with billions in sales. Thanks for this video TechOdyssey.
I like that they are using a mostly stock Android without all the heavy Android customization Samsung and other brands use
Yup yup

The Blu s91 works in Australia. It's likely that the Bold will also.
Cool!
Hey, thanks for the video and that’s a great deal. 199. It’s tempting..
This is a very nice looking device for the price but i like the S23FE. Still might consider this if i can find it for a good price. What is happening? The days of paying the price of a used car for a phone are coming to a end, and I'm here for it!
Do you know if it will work on Cricket Wireless (AT&T)?
It says it won't work with Cricket or any AT&T company. Might work with an AT&T Sim Card by Boost Mobile, Red Pocket, etc etc though. I'd check first though.
No
I have a 91MAX but just bought this ...for a mini tablet rather than a phone .🎉
The Dimensity 7050 is the old Dimensity 1080? That's a decent chip 🙂
Does anyone know if this phone will work on AT&T network?
This is what I want to know. Cause I'd definitely buy it.
If It's Unlocked It Should, I'm Just Saying.....
Can you do a comparison between the Blu g9 pro and bold n3 and benchmark test too. And everything else on the two. Basically Blu g9 pro vs bold n3. Can you add storage to it
I cannot. Sorry.
199-50(Charger)-10(headphones)-10(cable)-30(case)-10(screen protector)= 89$ or later 189$ for the actual phone (all prices are just guess work)
The haptics are what blew me away. I said in my video that it's Pixel a-level haptics in my opinion.
Yup. I was very impressed with the haptics!
Im broke because of inflation, so these are my price range. Lol
Looks Very Nice for the price! Does anyone know why there's not even 1 review on All if UA-cam of the Blu G93? Is this not allowed for some reason? Im baffled.
Is it thin like the blue g9 pro or heavy. Does the battery really last longer
OMG.. well it looks nice if you can please the G93 from Blu too thanks.
Reminds me of the OnePlus 7t on the rear.

even rear design (black color) side buttons are also same
Does the phone runs hot outside?
At $299 I think it's actually a good deal. At $199 it's a great deal in my opinion. Hitting way above its price point at $199.
Great video review, thanks
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Would it work with cricket?
Nice device however. Sadly the brand BLU is not available in Europe (at least not in Belgium)
Sorry to hear that
Where does it stack up to the OnePlus Nord N30 5G? 🤔
When is the sale going to end?
Only 480p Netflix due to Widevine Level 3. Such a stupid flaw when the display is so nice. HDR videos on youtube look incredible with this phone.

How did I get for 199? Cause it's showing 249 on the link ?
199.99 was only for the first batch of phones that sold out in under a day. I'm sure in a month or 2 it will go on sale for 199.99 again.
Is this available in the u.k. please
Are you saying that the screen on this new N3 has an additional screen protector installed on top of the gorilla glass screen itself?
Yes
Do u have any updates on this phone yet
Sadly this won't work for at&t in the US
