Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Having purchased a lot of Blu phones in the past, including the life one X(2015) I can say this is a nice phone for the money. Build quality is premium feeling, even though the back is removable. As others have stated ,it feels a little on the heavier side, but not to bad. All in all, it's performance is good and snappy! Calls seem clear on both ends. Camera takes good shots,and having the front facing flash, is nice for the selfies enthusiast. Missing in this year's model, are the off screen gestures, double tap to wake and drawing a circle to launch the camera. However the finger print scanner, makes up for those omissions, and there is a setting to double press the power button to launch the camera app. Performance is good, on Cellular and Wi-Fi, and GPS seems fairly accurate, no complaints! As mentioned, there is no app drawer, but Nova launcher, or the Google launcher will give you that option ,if you desire. As an added bonus, the quick charging is great, and personally it's one of the best features any smart phone should have. I gave a rating of 4 stars, because I thought the external speaker was a little weak, and lacking volume. To conclude...it's a nice phone, with some nice hardware, and performs well. And Blu stayed true, to keeping the bloat-ware to a minimum. Also for those considering this phone, or any Blu phone for that matter, the phone comes packaged with the phone,charger,cable,earbuds, a case, and a screen protector.(so your good to go,out of the box)
