a little buggy

I bought this phone for my daughter as a gift for christmas just to get by until im able to afford something better. This phone is terrible! today i was trying to set up uber teens app and everything is loading so slow. It took me a whole two hours to finish! not only is is slow but the speaker quality is horrid as well! i really wish i was able to get my money back for this piece of junk

i love it.

Tips:1. Go through the android setup phase without wifi. Turn on the wifi once you have passed the tutorial. It will save you alot of time.2. Only Use Lite, Go, or lightweight apps This is a phone with a 2012 CPU and 1 GB of ram (usually 400MB is available to use). Also Android Go is not well optimized or very lightweight to run smoothly on these lower spec phones.Lightweight browsers such as via browser or dolphin zero are very fast.3. Close apps after you are finished using them. You only have about 400MB of ram to work with. (Do not do this on higher end phones, since apps actually opens faster when they are "dormant in the background")Pros:$50 dollar android phone.Micro sd slotdual simSo Sos:It has a removable battery, but I do not know where to buy the battery.

Android Go on this device is not the smoothest experience, but it will get the job done. You need to make sure you use light weight apps.My Thoughts:You will get a far better performance with a $100 - $200 phone. Even a 5-year-old flaghip phone will perform better.I was in the market for a kaios phone like the zoey smart which was $30, but they do not sell them anymore. I found the phone to be great for people in emerging markets. They sell a tank flip which is similar, but at $80 I might as well get a BLU V91 that is about $100.So I decided to get this phone. I hoped android go was lightweight enough that it can run smoothly on older hardware and lower specifications. That is not the case. Android Go would need to use probably half of the current resources to run smoothly on this phone. And most of the apps you would need to be light weight as well. I liked the idea of a $50 dollar phone, but at this performance you might as well spend $50 more for a far smother phone experience.CPU Arm Cortex - 4x ARM Cortex-A7 1.30 Ghz (2012)GPU-Mali-T8201GB of RAMDual SimMicro SD slotIt is micro usb for chargingHeadphone jackRemovable battery

The phone is a little slow but it is good quality. It has a long lasting battery life and the price is reasonable.

Not compatible with metro pcs but works with the government Sim. Moves so slow.

The phone arrived ahead of schedule. Beautiful large HD screen which is much bigger than my iPhone SE. The phone looks very modern and refreshed compared to older Blu Phone models. The battery was easy to install and I was able to install a SIM card without any issues. The phone is pretty fast for the price that I paid for it, but I recommended opening one app at a time. If you use your phone a lot for games and movies, I wouldn't recommend this phone, but if you are just using it for basic texting and calling and minor web browsing, then the speed is fast enough to cover those basic usages. Don't expect beautiful images since the camera on this phone is only 5 megapixels. If you are looking for a budget phone, I recommended this model vs the Blu Advance L5. I haven't tested the battery life as of yet.

the phone is super slow. it doesn't have a fingerprint reader as it states facial recognition works once in a while. the only good thing about this phone is the battery life is ok
