Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Before I write my review, I'd like to list a couple things about the phone which aren't included in the Amazon description: 1. This is a dual SIM device with one nano SIM and one micro SIM slot. HOWEVER, if you wish to use a micro SD card, it will occupy the nano SIM slot, leaving only the micro SIM slot. 2. There's more stuff in the box than the description says! Inside the box there is: > A charging/sync cable and wall adapter > A set of earbuds > A plastic screen protector (pre-installed) > A glass screen protector (not installed) > A quick-start guide > Two thin, plastic phone cases (one clear and one with some abstract art on the back - I included a picture of the case with this review) Now, as far as the actual review goes; this is a very nice phone for the price! I'm a long-time fan of Blu. I prefer mid-range unlocked vanilla android phones that aren't too expensive to replace -> And that's exactly what this is. The screen is amazing! I came from a 1080p phone, and I was expecting this elongated 720p screen to look noticably worse. It really doesn't! It's crisp, clear, and the small bezels are quite nice. If you don't like the way the display wraps around the front camera, you can enable a gesture in the settings to disable that. But I've found that I quite like it. The camera is good, and it even includes facemoji! The battery is excellent. The lowish resolution screen and low-power processor probably help this. I've had no problem using it all day. However, the phone doesn't feel sluggish at all! In fact, it scored right at 8,000 on the 3D Mark "Slingshot (non-extreme)" benchmark. The phone runs pretty much stock Android 8.1. The only changes I've noticed are a "clear apps" button on the recent apps screen and a new battery saving mode called "extreme" something-or-other. I haven't tried it. All-in-all, I'd say this is an excellent phone, especially if you can get it on sale for $100 like I did. I've only had it for 2 days, though, so I'll be sure to come back and change the review if I run into any major problems.
