I am a phone geek. A tech geek. An Android geek. I am also a penny-pincher. I purchased this phone about 1 year ago and have used it heavily ever since. This is the most bang for your buck that you can get for a phone. Bar none. I am loving it. I use it on Straight Talk's 4G network. I had to figure out how to configure the APN settings to get the MMS and SMS and data to work with Straight Talk. You can't find the right ones anywhere, but I finally figured it out after a couple of hours of fiddling around. Also, I want to acknowledge some gripes people have with this phone. It's been stated that the in-call volume is too low...that is 100% true. There is a built-in volume booster that maybe only raises it by a hair, that's it. You can't be on the phone during a party, maybe while the TV is on, but otherwise you won't hear very well. It doesn't bother me - I really don't talk on the phone much, it's mostly texting and data for me, but might be a concern for other consumers! Also, the camera. The front camera isn't atrocious, it is what it says it is. The rear camera is great. I have a dedicated camera, if I wanted an iPhone quality camera, I would've gotten the Moto X or one of the Galaxy phones instead - I just don't care enough about it. They work great for Snapchat for me, and I downloaded Open Camera so I could map the volume down button for shutter control. This way, I can use the rear camera for selfies and not have to fiddle with the touch screen capture button. Bam, issue resolved! My GPS works, wireless works, Bluetooth works, and the speaker phone and music playing volume are stellar, very loud and not tinny sounding at all! I also got a pack of SOJITEK BLU Studio 5.0 C Premium Ultra Crystal High Definition (HD) Clear Screen Protectors and they were worth every penny - no bubbles, no extra glare, and fits the phone perfectly. I put one on as soon as I unboxed this phone, so I can't attest to any screen issues others have had. I also bought the orange BLU ArmorFlex silicone case for it, and let me tell you that is a tough case! I am a butterfingers who always drops his phone, and between the screen protector and that case, this phone still looks brand new. The orange is practically day-glo, which doesn't bother me personally, but the case isn't neon, just bright orange...so if you want to tone the color down, the case is really the way to go! I'll tell you what, I'll never lose it, it's too bright! After a year of ownership, I have to say, I'm impressed. This is an excellent phone - I got my best friend and brother to each buy one, neon pink and neon sky blue respectively. My wife's only gripe is that it's too large a phone for her pockets, so I got her the BLU Neo 4.5. Another great BLU phone, she loves it. I just got my mother this one in black for Christmas, with a pink case. She loves it too! We all love BLU now. I will DEFINITELY buy another BLU, and so will my friends and family!Read full review

The Phone is good, nice screen but camera does not take good pictures in the dark. Battery life is poor also and the internal memory is 2Gb but is it reads 16Gb micro sd card very well. Besides the Battery life the phone is good.
If you purchase this model I hope your not picky on a case for it because you only have approximately 3 choices . other wise phone seams to be OK. Other than having to reset it syrafy so that the scream rotates. I have ask for help from dealer and company with no response from either on anything that I have said that part of the sale and warranty has stunk for me.....
