BLU Advance 4.0 L2 - US GSM Unlocked - Black

Considering the, "bang for the buck", that this throw-away device delivers, this may be the best $40.00 I have ever spent on Amazon. I noticed all the complaints about limited ram, inadequate storage space and so on. Come on! This is a forty dollar device! You want high tech, metal body, super display, go spend five hundred dollars or...buy this:Stick a pay-as-you-go SIM in it (don't bother with data); add a 16gb SD Card; clean out everything you really don't use (leaves about a gb for apps); download Google Maps for navigation and you have an excellent daily driver!o Telephone and textingo Off-line Navigation (download selected areas from google maps)o Camera for accidents or shopping surprises, etc. (Even at 3mp the camera can do barcodes)o A photo viewer of your...Previous reviewer tips I want to emphasize...o To extend battery life: turn off wi-fi unless you have full time signal available and need it;o Maps use a lot of battery too, but you usually can turn off the display and go with the audio;Something breaks...throw it out and get another.My only complaint was that Black case was not available so I chose white and colored it black with a magic marker. :-)

Pros:- Smooth interface - Marshmallow bewilderingly operates rather fluidly on such a low-end device. It is slow, but I don't mind. I'm very patient.- One-handed use is so much better than the god-awful hand gymnastics larger phones require.- OFF-SCREEN BUTTONSCons:- If you're not a socialmediaholic, you won't necessarily be offended by the cameras' inability to take better photographs than a potato. But just as a disclosure...the cameras suck.- Screen doesn't really get that bright, and it's a TFT display which doesn't help with viewing angles or viewing the screen in general. Otherwise, it's a usable panel.- Unfortunately, BLU decided to make the worst decision of all time by slapping two virtually pointless "cameras" on the device, wasting money which could have been spent implementing a proximity sensor and light sensor - I frequently butt-dial and accidentally hang up calls I didn't want to hang up.- Storage is low, so you will have to buy a micro SD card. It's not that big of a deal.- To be honest, the build isn't anything to write home about.BUT, the "pleasant surprise" I discovered when I unboxed this phone is that it has a front-facing speaker that's actually is fairly decent.Props to BLU.

Really nice phone for the PRICE.Pros:- Very nice design- Runs on Android 6.0 marshmallow- Expandable memory with micro SD slot- GSM Quad band 3G HSPA+ (850/1700/1900) work in the US and International- Comes with a Micro USB Charger and headphones- Dual Sim CardCons:- NoneOverall i really like this phone i used it with AT&T here in the US and also used it in South America, on my trip there i used Tigo and worked flawlessly. The camera isn't that great but i only needed a phone and the Android App Store.I would definitely buy this item again either as a backup phone or as a replacement for the price is packed with power and since runs on Android we do not need to worry about some of the apps that Android users use!

It's a phone, and that's pretty much it, with its lack of internal storage, because out of the box it uses almost 3 of the 4GBs of storage. If you don't add a SD card you're pretty much stuck with it as a phone with the pre-installed apps. You can set the SD card as internal storage. Make sure that none of the apps, like e-mail sync, are running in the background, as it will sap the small battery, quickly. So, as I've said, it's a phone. Oh, and be aware that it uses full-size SIM cards. I use it as a backup, emergency phone (the display does show 4G reception), and a pedometer/audio playback when I go walking as it is remarkably light weight. It's OK for ~$40.

This is the WORST phone I've ever purchased. Here's the list of reasons:1) Lack of internal storage. Yeah it says 4GB, but it uses around 3.5GB on its own without anything downloaded.2) "Dual SIM Card": It took numerous attempts to put the SIM Card in just yhe right spot to be recognized. It does not clearly show you where or how, and you have a larger space than necessary for said SIM Card. Slot 1 and slot 2 are stacked, however I believe the top slot is the primary slot. I had two working SIM cards in this phone and it refused to show recognition of the second card. This means that the second card would not be used for storage.3) SD card: I had a working SD card inserted. The phone made no sign of having this secondary type of storage, nor did it give you an option to utilize the SD card. I tried looking up product how-tos or even user how-tos on how to rectify this issue. Nothing.4) These phones get hot real fast even with minimal use. The battery life is atrocious and the phone itself is extremely slow and freezes more than it is functional.My recommendation is to not even bother. We have thrown both of these phones away.I'm severely disappointed in the previous reviews because after pages of sifting through reviews, I came across nothing to warn me of these potential issues. Hopefully the seller doesn't delete them, however, it would not surprise me.I would have given zero stars, however it was impossible.
