BLU Studio Selfie 3 -GSM Unlocked Smartphone -Gold

Very nice phone. Clear and crisp display, and the blu has noticeably increased the touch-sensitivity of their screens. Very good responsiveness and app start-up times. Came with a bare-bones silicone case, (which is better than nothing, don't get me wrong), the phone, a charger and USB wall adapter, and a tool to remove the SD card tray. Blu used to include a heavy-duty, custom made screen protector with their phones as well as headphones; the "screen protector" with this one is a very light-duty clear sticker which came pre-applied to the phone, and no headphones were included (no big issue). I'll probably end up getting a higher-quality screen protector later on, but the included one is a good in-between. This is my 3rd Blu phone, and I am satisfied again. I did have to use scissors to cut my SIM card down to size as this phone takes nano SIMS, the smallest size currently available. And the fact that Blu makes you format your SD card to the phone is kind of inconvenient. I lost all the data on my SD card out of my old Blu when I transferred it because I was unable to back up the data, and I had to format it to my new phone in order to use it; thus destroying my music, pictures, apps, etc. I can rebuild, but that is a negative if you don't use cloud storage for everything. As with my previous Blu phones, this one's RAM gets used up quick if you're switching between apps, but if you download a booster like CleanMaster and close out of apps when you're done, you can keep it going smoothly. I expect to get a good 8-12 months out of this phone.

PROS: + Both cameras are very good + The aluminium housing is good to avoid damages. + Everything works fine so far (connectivity, apps, storage). CONS: - The battery is not removable - You only can use one simcard and the sd card at once - If you want use your micro sim card , you must cut it to the nano sizes. - The phone did not turn on by the first time when I took the phone out from their box. The battery was completely discharged, so I had to charge it all night along. -- How it is possible this model does not bring screen protector and earphones like many other previous BLU cell phones?.

For a cheap cell phone works very good. And have a good performance. Just accepts micro SIM but that isn't a trouble.

I read a lot of questions and answers about this phone and i almost didn't buy it. But I am a fan of Blu Phones so I bought it anyway. So to clear up some of the questions. Yes this phone does work. Must be fully charged and the battery life I've gotten so far is 5 hours. I am with T-mobile and i have the small sim card(which is needed for this device) If your phone didn't come on when you first received it, its probably because it was needed to be charged, my phone was only on 13% when i received it. But it works just as good as any other phone. This phone doesn't have a built in music app which i will miss but everything works greats. Also I love the camera quality on this phone. I hope this helps someone.

Gosh! I bought this phone for my son (pre-teen) and how perfect! The pics turn out amazing, very clear. Doesn’t have a lot of memory, but it can take a memory card, which is a good feature. I think I may buy this phone for myself as a back-up phone in case something happens to mine.

I love this product i have it for serval years so far with no issues would buy again for sure.

A good phone until the touch screen dies. All the features work very well. Pictures came out great, phone reception was clear, audio is good, very bright (too bright for me, really). Also never had problems with using data. Oh, and battery life is less than average, and the battery isn't removable without unscrewing the phone casing. Unless you got some portable power banks on hand, don't expect this to last more than 4-6 hours with constant use (especially with data on). NONE OF THAT MATTERS WHEN THE TOUCH SCREEN FAILS AFTER 4 MONTHS! Just happened TODAY talking about how a process malfunctioned, and now the system is fried. I even did a factory reset and it STILL won't work. The funny thing is, it only dropped once, two months ago, yet had no problems until now. You can get the warranty, great! But you'll still be down a phone until you get it back! Or a replacement. Not gonna bother with it. I've bought cheaper phones who's screens worked longer than this (two years to be exact). My advice: If you get this phone, you better backup your contacts on Google Voice or something because you risk losing all of them with this.

The phone is as described. It's smaller than I expected, but does the job . There is a down side ,with the phone stalling at times . Takes okay pictures,and video is good . Would give phone a rating 7/10 😕It's a great phone for a teen , just not for .me
