    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.

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 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

    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.

      @@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
