BLU Studio Mega 2019-6.0" Display Smartphone, 32GB+2GB Ram- Black

I received this phone 2 days ago to replace a Blu phone I accidentally mangled by leaving it my back pocket and sitting on same ☹️.To start with for $70 I was able to purchase a phone with Android Pie OS installed with 32 GB internal data capacity and 2 GB memory and a 6" screen with 720 resolution. The phone came nicely packaged (in a box) with a clear soft gel case, charger, and two screen protectors.I have installed about 50+ apps and still have about half of the internal data storage available. I also installed a 64 GB SD card (taken from my previous phone as it had been set up for portable storage) which will allow for a good amount of music and books and other data. The SD card works well, which in my experience is not a given.When I compare this phone with an Apple iPod I purchased 7 years ago for about $400 this phone is a much better value and the functionality is comparable if not better.I know this phone is not the most nimble, the screen is not the best, and the speaker (mono) not the best-but for the price and my needs is not to be beat. Besides I rarely use the speakers on my electronic devices and use Bluetooth speakers or headphones. The screen is very adequate in brightness and colors.I use TracFone which works well with this phone. I attempted to transfer the SIM card from the previous Blu phone but it did not fit the tray on this phone. So I purchased a new SIM card, activated the new card, and my phone number and service was automatically transferred.When I signed in with Google my apps and set-up were automatically installed and updated.To repeat a great purchase and I am becoming a Blu phone fan.

I got this for a vision impaired parent. It seems to be a really good phone so far! It's not a flagship Samsung phone, but for $70 it's much better than expected.Fast apps, slow not very responsive touchscreen. Good camera, nice dual SIM configuration (we're only using SIM 1). Obliges a decent case, and two screen protectors. There is also a glass one, but ours was broken out of the box. Waiting on replacement.Not a gaming phone, not a high performance phone, it is a good quality reliable phone that does everything we've tried.Charging takes all night, but battery life is really good. Lasts all day.

Really nice phone for the price. Comes with case, screen protector and charger. My biggest complaint is the very minimal instructions. Took forever and a trip to YouTube to figure out how to get the back open to insert the battery. ( tiny groove at bottom left corner, use fingernail to work it open) After that, setup was easy, WiFi worked great. However....phone would not read my SIM card. My carrier is Consumer Cellular a GSM carrier, which is compatible with this phone. Spoke with them and since SIM card worked in my old phone , and continues to work since I reinstalled it there., we determined the problem was this new phone. Upon closer inspection, it appears that there is one contact missing in the SIM 1 slot. Whatever the problem turns out to be, I had to return it. Kudos to Amazon for the no hassle return. I have already ordered another one, not wanting to wait for return to be finalized for an exchange, hopefully this one will work.Update. Got the new phone slready. Set up was a breeze, now that I knew how to open the back! Works great so upped the star count from three to five. Good phone for a really reasonable price.

I'm making this review after owning this phone for roughly 7 months (April 2020-October 2020)Good points:-Lots of space. Never had to buy a chip for more space. It's a huge relief not to worry about transferring files and apps not running at their optimal speed due to being on a chip.-Supports USB stuff like Yeti Microphone if you have the right adapter. As a warning though, not all apps support usage of USB product even if the phone itself fundamentally does.-The 2GB ram made most stuff run smoothly, and I could run multiple apps at once while the phone is awake and active.-The version of Android is pretty modern.-Video media plays in a small window while you're working on other apps, which is immensely convenient.-The wake up alarm works, despite problems I will address in the bad column.Bad points (and whoh boy, there's a lot of them.)-This phone disconnects from the internet nearly every time it goes to sleep (as in the screen going black, but the phone still on), meaning that if anyone messages me in that time via Facebook Messenger or Discord, I won't get the notification until the phone wakes up - Or, more often, they won't pop up until I've opened up the apps themselves. I don't understand why, but this phone just WILL NOT run apps in the background. I've looked through all the settings. It's just not possible to fix this. I've lost several cakes due to even the timer not activating it's alarm signal after it's run out while the phone was sleeping. Setting my alarm to play Spotify in the morning just doesn't work, tells me something along the lines of 'the app failed to open'. This seems like an immense and unforgivable problem.-For some bizarre reason, when I'm using recording apps like Smule, which is a Karaoke app, this phone will record the audio being outted to my headphones along with the input from my microphone. Even if it's impossible to hear the audio outside my headphones, the mic still picks it up somehow. Doesn't matter what headphones I use, this always happens. Wtf?-Camera quality is pretty freakin' bad. I thought this phone would have one of the higher quality cameras, but it's just a blurry 2010 webcam-lookin' of a mess. You also can't zoom in the default camera app - WHY?-This phone doesn't support Live Wallpaper, meaning you can't use stuff like KLWP which allows you to set custom animations and buttons for the Android wallpaper. Basically, you get the basic icons and that's it. Doesn't matter what app you download, you'll never have anything fancier than the default app buttons and static photo wallpaper. No fancy 3D animations, nothing. It's just so boring.-Even though Pokemon Go detects this phone has a Gyroscope, it does not. Meaning no AR mode.-The default mic and speaker in this phone is just... lackluster. It's bad. I would never use them if I could help it. Trying to play music out of the speaker for someone else is embarrassing.-Not compatible with the Google Assist app.-I have to regularly restart my phone for it to fully utilize my home Wifi.Overall: The inability to run background apps is just a dealbreaker for me. Nobody should have to deal with this if they shell out over a hundred bucks for a phone. I absolutely don't understand why this is such a problem when it has more than enough RAM to run more than 2 apps at a time. I've looked at my phone settings, there's nothing that would be making this occur on my part. I've had tons of smartphones for around half the price or lower that have had less GB but still ran more consistently.As of September 2020 I finally just bought a refurbished Google Pixel 2XL. Having a way better time. My quality of life is already better - the alarm app actually runs Spotify.Really wish I got a refund while I could. Never buying a BLU phone again. Telling everyone I know to stay away from this company. This quality of phone is unacceptable.

Buen teléfono, a pesar de tener un precio económico, es un excelente móvil. Bueno, bonito y barato.
