I bought this unlocked BLU Studio G2 to take to Europe for a vacation trip, because I wanted th e GPS for use with a rental car. First problem was that a 1 amp car charger would not charge it, and within about 4 hours of GPS and Google map navigation the battery was run down and we had to navigate our way back to our base by paper maps. Bought a 2.4 amp charger which works. But Google maps is still problematic. I had bought a free.fr SIM card, which works if in range of 3G, but the phone does not support 4G in France. You can download the maps when in WiFi range, but still when driving out of 3G range maps will slow down or hang and you have to kill and restart maps. Also even within 3G range maps takes several minutes to find your route, and more yet to start running. Once it gets going, the actual navigation is fine as long as you are within 3G range, and not too bad without it. In Switzerland I didn't get any mobile data at all. Calling and SMS works with no issues. I think the slowness of this model may come from insufficient RAM for running apps, so it does a lot of swapping to storage. Once it gets going on an app, it runs fine. What I do like about it is that Marshmallow lets you load apps onto a microSD card, so you really have plenty of space for apps.Read full review

Problem with battery or charging system. Charge status can change from 100% to 80% instantaneously.
