They have the Blu View 3 out now with 3 gigs of ram, 32 gigs of memory with a 6 inch display. I believe it's around $69 on Amazon, but I got it for $49 at a Dollar General.
That's where I got mines too
This is the smoked the f***ed out review of the Nokia C100 gaming and emulation! in my video we explain the sexy connection between understanding how the c100 is actually good, and all the profits were wrong, and how touching the button can be exciting, and fun, also in my video we explore how to rub the controller to make it click better enjoy my video now!
Go back 20 years in time. This $29 phone has far more computing power than a $1,000 computer did back then, far more RAM (2gb) plus touch screen, plus makes phone calls, camera etc.... it is absolutely amazing how far technology has gotten.
Even the lowest spec smartphone today has more computing power than the computer that runs the Voyager spacecraft.
Yes! My first mobile phone cost $30 in 2007 and it was a "brick phone" from Nokia. It's amazing what this $30 smartphone can do for the same amount of money.
I'm still digging just having these things called Microwave Ovens.
Try the new view 4 way better phone
This phone is available in my area for $19.99 at Family Dollar with the app coupon which is $5 off the top. Thank you for the review.
I got this phone recently at Dollar General for around $35. I am using it as my main phone now because it will be easy to replace if i breaks.
I got it from Amazon for $14.99 plus tax and it's from Total Wireless.
I have one of these. It was the cheapest smartphone I could pick up at a local Walmart. It works fairly well for social media and light gaming. I would not use it for content consumption (the speaker kind of sucks) or any really heavy gaming tasks. The camera is okay, not great.
does youtube work good on this
@@thechase4621 It runs okay, the speakers aren't great though. If you're using headphones or earbuds it would be okay 👍
@@LieutenantLapdance ty
@@thechase4621 Yes
Hey thanks Kevin! Nice comprehensive review!
I brought this phone for work only. So far my data is not working and the technician can’t help me either. They told me call back in 24 hours
Just picked one up today as a backup for when I get my main phone it works even better as my main phone as I just found out so I am going to use this as a main phone now. Awesome steal
Hey, if you don't mind me asking, is this phone VoLTE compatible?
@@Ken-mj4rg not too sure but, I can check for you.man
@@Ken-mj4rg Good question. I'd like to know also. All phones have to have voLTE now.
as stated in other reviews, give this phone to someone with a dumb flip phone in 1998 and see what their reaction would be. I kind of know, I'm 56 yrs. old. Buying this phone soon as a backup phone for emergencies, this tutorial sold me. Thanks.
I'm 62 and bought one because my boss now requires all employees to have a smart phone and I just found out that Trackfone does not offer unlimited data plans, this won't connect to the company wifi ("network not secure") and this is the only kind of device the company training software works on and it uses over 500 gigs of data to complete. Nobody can tell me how to get around that error message to connect to my employer's wifi. If by secure, it means password protected, the policy is to not password protect their wifi because they want the public to be able to use it without hinderance. I won't be keeping any account information on the phone so I don't care about stealing anything. I won't be using it buy anything.
I have this phone I like this so far
I remember when 2gb of ram was an unreasonable amount 😅
Lol
Nobody needs more than 64k of RAM anyway.
Would you recommend this as a general media player? Been looking specifically for a low powered entertainment device to watch movies, TV, and listen to music while on hikes and camping trips. I wouldn't even use it for the phone capabilities. This checks all the boxes.
Thanks for the info
Can i just this phone with total wireless?
Can you use this without getting a plan?
I just need to use this for a camera/music player
I am commenting on the blu view 2 at this moment. I got this one from dollar general that has Verizon and android 11. It is very much worth it
It’s a very good phone, my aunt and best friend has one.
Is this a good upgrade over last years BLU View 1 Smartphone
Yes
Removable Battery...Rare But Classic...
Had this for a brief time the weight was pretty nice actually on it too didn't feel cheap had some heaviness with a case on it too
I just got this phone on 9/14/22 and it has the android 11 update
MY BLU VIEW 2 HAS ANDROID 11.0 bought this at walmart by st louis for $29.00 ON 6/4/22, works better that the moto G Pure i had for 1 month & kept locking up & screen would flash over & over.
How do you transfer data from your old phone to this phone
Thank you!
I am considering getting one of these it seems like a good deal
I like your presentation and I appreciate it thank you. It's a phone that'll do all what I need it
to do for $29.99
Thanks again for your clear understanding presentation it is appreciated
Ya
Would this phone be good to use for square card readers and square app?
What's good about this phone it's still getting security updates.
Dose it come with service when you first buy the phone
Please do review on the blue 4 from TracFone thanks
This is a backup or trap phone
I am using it right now
Does it have a message light/charging light?
No
I have this phone and another one both blue smartphones from TracFone got them both from dollar general both had screens I can say your better off getting one of these from dollar general then paying like a grand for a phone both are great decent price and I'm thankful for both these phones can turn the other one on whenever I want have some DVDs download to them and charmed season 7 looks so great on this phone in hd and other movies!!!!! These phones are so great trackfones are the best and very nice I love my phones!!!!!! No need to upgrade when you can just upgrade from a flip phone to one of these even love my phones!!!! Volumes great too!!!!!
I own a Samsung S21 Ultra, but my aunt owns one of these. She used to own a iPhone 5 and used it since she bought it (she bought it a week after it came out) and used it since then. She went to this phone and the screen is pretty good for the price!
@@pedrorodriguez2321 it really is I have a blue view 2 and 3 and instead of getting another phone I can just reactivate my view 3 if I want soon ....using the view 2 and I love it so much!!!!!!!
@@williamk7517 It's a really good phone! I have heard that the View 3 was kinda a downgrade to the view 2! Is that true?
@@pedrorodriguez2321 noooooo it's really great as well!!!! All phones can be laggy....but going through total wireless and Verizon is actually nice 🙂
@@williamk7517 Ah good to know!
i still don't know who had the bright idea to stop letting us remove batteries a few years back... and we wonder why we have such a big problem with batteries exploding nowadays.
not sure how that is progress when you can't change batteries until they explode (and destroy the device in the process).
I agree! I think it was Apple that started that.
The batteries are cheaper than the phones and they want to be able to sell you a brand new phone every year or two.
Does it have smart view?
Great for Grandma, especially if she breaks the phone often
Excuse me? Keep your ageism and sexism to yourself. I'm probably at least twice your age and have used computers since before you were born , mcp.
another thing i love is that its hard to break or crack
I Just Ordered This Phone From E Bay Can You Use A Password Instead Of A Pincode? Thank You. from South Louisiana.
My BLU VIEW 2 "home screen" appears to be the "Lock Screen". There is no password and I can make calls and texts. I wish to open the Settings menu. Tracphones tech says swipe up but this does nothing. Nor does tapping and holding which I've seen in another video. I also can't get to the type of screen seen at the beginning of this video, which the tech calls the "Application folder." Any thoughts?
I picked up mine at Rite Aid for $20 and it comes with android 11
It's a nice phone very nice I have two blus from TracFone can return the other one on whenever I love my phones and great screens too so crisp and clean
Way better than the view 1
Blu seems to have a rather defensive attitude towards updates. The only website for them I could find had a post along the lines of "whadya expect from a cheap phone? Point to me ONE cheap phone that updates the OS!" Meanwhile Samsung A series cheap phones get 3 years of full OS upgrades. Even my equally cheap TCL A3 has gotten two Android updates so far, and I only got it in October.
I have a Blu but its black.
I got this a year ago at CVS and went to get the blu view 4 to upgrade for 30$ and they ran out of 4s and have the 2s again for the same price. I looked at the specs and they're pretty much the same.
It actualy has a removable back!
Haha yes, for once!
@@KevinBreeze I Love you!!!
@@KevinBreeze I Love you, Kevin Breeze!
Guys yall are kinda overreacting but finally a removable back for once
@@samuelhere41 🤣🤣🤣
Kev.... just for fun
RCA cell phones. Why not lol
Can you review the TCL A3. Thanks.
I have the phone it's slow, blurry camera, and horrible display with color and games I only know the true colors of my game because I initially used it with my Samsung before I broke it by spilling water on it but will be replacing this phone asap it sucks overall
I'm getting one so my Gramma can get rid of her old flip phone - this will be great for her....
Thanks for showing it....
Has anyone used this on a inter state trip, for GPS location purposes? If so, how did it fair?
What is your favorite budget smartphone
Hello everyone! If you want to play call of duty mobile and can't afford a good phone then I'm here to tell you the phone runs this game pretty well, max FPS is 20 I believe and graphics stay at low. Also the game may crash quite a bit, this phone can't process everything that's happening so much, so if you plan on playing ranked don't bother. Play casually.
Just grabbed for $21 OTD
I got this phone when I was 6 years old
I got my first phone when I was 9. Back then children weren't allowed to couch telephones until they were old enough to be left at home by themselves but I needed to be able to dial the operator to call for an ambulance since my Mom was pregnant. That was probably before your parents were born. Might have been before your grandparents were born.

I've had my tracfone flip phone for almost 4 years now. The front screen (for like checking the time) is all screwed up. I only use my phone for calls and texting. And I'm always carrying my flip phone and another phone for music (when taking the bus to college). This would replace both of those.
THIS PHONE IS AWESOME!! $30 TIRDY
I got the phone I just picked the phone up. But I'm not happy that there was a default and the SIM card to the phone so I had to go pick up a new SIM card tomorrow
The BLU phone brand does not work batteries if you are lucky the battery could serve you about three months...
My 92 yr old Mom uses a TracFone flip phone just for phone calls & its so small...confusing to her. Can I buy her usual $99/yr 400 minute card for this? Just phone calls...nothing else.
It’s just really laggy but it’s good
sheesh 🥶
It did not do so well for me because and I can't use the Wi-Fi hotspot to broadcast to other Favorite devices and I like the LG journey better
Mine won't let me connect to my employer's wifi at all ("network not secure") and I bought it to watch over 500 gigs of training videos so I can keep my job. I got to watch them all and test for them before the end of the year or I lose my job. I can't afford to buy another one as I've already sunk $85 into the first two months and haven't accessed one video yet.
How do you change navigation buttons?
TCL A3 is better option. Android 11, 3gb ram and 32 gb memory.
Indeed...I Purchased One This Past Saturday Afternoon~As A Temporary Secondary Phone~Cause Sadly My XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 9S Has Been Acting Up Since February...Till I Can Purchase The MOTOROLA MOTO G9 POWER Alongside My Primary Phone Which Is a MOTOROLA MOTO G POWER... Except For The Rubbish Bin Mediatek Processor~The Specs As U Mentioned~Plus A 3000mAh Battery~Is Quite Surprising For A Sub $50 Device Of This Kind...
The Blu View 3 have 3 gigs of ram, 32 gigs of memory and it just not long came out. Plus it have a 6 inch screen..
@@jerrygibson2977 Thanks. I'll check it out 👍.
@@ReadTheBible8 You're welcome! It's a pretty good phone for what it is, I got it at my local Dollar General store for $49 before tax.
@@jerrygibson2977 Indeed...It's Comparatively Better...Even For A Temporary Phone...Till I Can Purchase The MOTOROLA MOTO G9 POWER With A Bloody Massive 6.8 Inch Display...6000mAh Battery & More...
I like it's ever wish I couldn't make phone calls on it but I can't right now not until tomorrow cuz I had to go back to Walmart and get a new SIM card
how about charger?
Does this phone have a AUX cord plug in?
Yes
yep
You can always go and accessibility and darken your screen that's what I did
I have it
I do have that going to tell you the truth I'm content with and it's been working perfectly for me
Would be nice if someone could tell me how to connect to WIFI with this. I have hundreds of gigs of training videos to watch for work and they only work on smart phones and I can't do that if I have to pay $5 a gig. I'm not wealthy. Every attempt to connect with wifi gives me a message "network not secure" and there doesn't seem to be a way around it.
Are you using the password for that particular wifi hub/router? It should work once you setup the phone with the password 🔑!
I have it and I hate it I want to brake it it’s so slow
I have the same one and it's ass it's always freezing up and I have to reset it every 20-30 minutes
Nice phone 👍
I am trying to activate this phone for freind, but can't get back to english from spanish. can't even call, i tried to work with trac to activate it just sits on spanish. what can i go. already gave the sim /serial and paid 15.00 ,but can get nothing can't get what you have on screen .
Does this run android ? Is this an android phone?
Think so
@@springsaber lol thx I ordered it 2 days ahi and yes it is an android phone
Kevin, these been out for about 2yrs, well the first models yes about 2yrs, this one is the newer ones
I have a Blu View 2 But it a Verizon Not TracFone
I got a 50% off so I basically got it from $16 at Meijer
I feel cheated by Apple.
Use not just
aarrhhghh, you keep the phone on your hand for 7 minutes and not opening any app at all or open the camera itself, why ?
This phone sucks I'm currently still using it right now and it could barely even run anything at the beginning because it only has 2 GB of RAM this thing can barely even try to make phone calls when you're trying to use it
i have this phone and it sucks terribly i would not reccomend it its really slow, laggy, crappy, and overall cheap
Where the hell are the pictures to choose for wallpaper? 100 different versions of smeary watercolors? No thanks.
Our
I have this phone and u don't think much of it
Please review the Sony Xperia 10iii!
mommy give me my phone at night
Never buy this phone it so bad I'm using it right now never buy it if ur watching somthing it just lag and take u to ur home screen
A year for a phone??? I now regret buying this. I got my first telephone in 1979 when I got my first apartment. It was the 1937 Bell model 302 that my mother gave me. I grew up with that phone. It is what I learned how to dial a phone on around 1969 when I was 9 years old. In those days children usually didn't learn how to dial a phone until they were old enough to be left alone at home but my Mom was pregnant with twins and wanted me to know how to dial in case I had to ask the operator for an ambulance for her. That phone was the phone my mother grew up with since it was manufactured two years before she was born. My grandmother gave it to her (illegally since it wasn't legal to own your own phone in those days) when my Mom got married in 1959. My grandmother had just gotten an upgrade and the guy at the phone company was going to toss it into the trash but she talked him into giving it to her. My point is that this has been my telephone and worked perfectly as intended, to make and receive phone calls until about 8 years ago when the phone company decided to redo the wiring to all houses and made it impossible for my phone to work any more. There was nothing wrong with the phone. It would have continued working for another century if the phone company didn't do what they did. 77 years is NOT a long time to own something. I have cameras I still use that are twice that old and I have a fan and three lamps that are much older. I bought my cell phone which is a Trackfone at Walmart for $5 at their clearance table and I have happily paid $10 a month for all that time. It works perfectly still but my boss wants me to have a smart phone so I can train for a promotion he wants me to get. I buy something I expect it to outlive me. Owning something for a year is to me a total waste of money. The only thing I would expect to wear out in less than a decade would be clothing and most of my clothes are older than that and some are older than my phone, my FIRST phone. How can any company have any pride making something that can be expected to need replacing in that time? Unfortunately I have run into this with computers as well so I suppose I should not be shocked by short life spans. My first computer lasted me over a decade. Each successive one less than the previous. This one is only two years old and already it is showing signs of wear. The letters on the keyboard have already worn off. Good thing I learned how to type 50 years ago and know where the keys are. My old 1928 Royal typewriter still has all it's keys intact and I've typed millions of words on it no problem. It still works perfectly too. The only hitch is I've had to make my own ribbon for the last twenty years but that's not difficult. Technology should work better and last longer as we progress into the future not be disposable and be harder to use. You also shouldn't have to re learn how to do the same thing every year or two for the rest of your life. I learned how to dial a phone in 1969. I should be able to do the same thing the same way for the rest of my life. It took me two weeks jus to figure out how to make my first phone call with this piece of junk.
Typical rebranded china phone. Literally.
I had to put it at 1.5x speed, you talk too much and you are very slow, thanks UA-cam for having that option 🙏
