Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G SGH-T769 GSM Black - Unlocked International Version - Use With Any SIM

I bought two Samsung Galaxy S Blaze for $169.92 from Althea Shop each on November 5, 2013. After six years of use, these smartphones were finally retired and put back in their original boxes. They were used as primary smartphones until November 2016, and then they were used as general media devices until November 2019.These are pretty terrible phones compared to today's phones, but unlocked smartphones for under $200 in the United States was a big deal back in 2013. The screen may be a bit on the small side today, but I think it was just the right size back in 2013.The screen is cracked on one of the phones and the batteries hardly hold any charge, but I do have fond memories of these phones, and do not regret getting them one bit.

There's nothing intuitive about this phone, & unlike some other smart phones, it's neither attractive nor reliable. I suspect it thinks it's smarter than the user, as it frequently hangs up in the middle of a call (without being touched), or suddenly starts calling another number, loudly, while I'm in the middle of a conversation (and then has the audacity to hang up on my call and put the call IT chose to initiate through instead.) It will also hang up on the call I'm in the middle of if someone (ANYone) happens to text me, and if I get another call while I'm on the phone, it will hang up on my current call, flash the info of the incoming call, then hang up on that one too. I was so fed up that I had the phone replaced (for the exact same phone, on the assumption that it was a defect in that particular phone, not the model in general), but this one has many of the same issues as well. (And a few quirks of its own, too.) I regret buying it. Save yourself the stress and frustration and skip this phone.

It's ok as a smart phone with all of the features, but that's useless when it won't hold a charge for anything. I did a lot of research when I upgraded to smart phone (less than a year ago). In part the upgrade was because my old phone would barely hold a charge for a day or two with no use.The specs on this said 5 days stand by time (looking again everywhere is saying 9.6 days). I always have battery saver on, close all applications, wi-fi off, ect, and make 1-2 short calls in a day and a few texts. This phone lasts 24 hours or less on a full charge. The other day I charged it around 4 pm and by 9 am it was dead (who knows when it actually died as that was when I checked it).I'm getting a new phone. The last straw was today I had full service, but when I tried to send a text it kept failing. I was also waiting for someone to call me back, who later emailed me to tell me they did but it said my phone wasn't accepting calls.

I bought this phone because my current android (Alcatel One Touch Evolve) was limited to only 3g speeds and I pay monthly for 4g speeds so why not have a phone that uses 4g internetThis phone is way fast don't get my wrong but it is way more outdated than I originally thought. The first thing I noticed is that it is locked in android 2.3.6 which is way behind when you consider the fact that the latest version out now is 4.3 (possibly higher)This isn't a huge deal because the phone is fast and can handle about the same apps as before. But certain things like Swype are out of date, hangouts, etc. The biggest thing to get used to is that Swype is way out of date and it makes texting a little unbearable, not impossible. Also the phone seems to get stuck more frequently on certain apps than before and the touchscreen isn't as intuitive and has actually been unresponsive from time to time. I noticed this as soon as I began using it so it isn't an app or anything. Also being the fact that this is a T-mobile phone, you have to deal with the apps preloaded on the phone that are either outdated or terrible T-mobile apps.Also I ordered this brand new but it had someones pictures on it when I started it up, so that was a little strange and made me feel uneasy

These phones were for my teens and lasted a bit over a year. I bought these because I owned one, but mine lasted quite a bit longer. The phones actually started to have a very hard time taking a charge after a year, even with new batteries. We eked out a bit of time so that I could gather the moolah for two other phones. Other than that they were just fine, as far as voice quality, etc.. I took 2 stars off for the mechanical problems I don't believe they should have had. And I have to say that the phones were not abused as you might think by teenagers, believe it or not! I also bought Samsung phones again. I am hope these last!

I had this phone for over 2 years, when suddenly it stopped turning on. Since I loved the phone so much and had no problems with it before, I decided to get another. Since it was much cheaper than buying a new phone that is around $600. I bought a new replacement phone from here for $200, and only had it for around a month with it stopped charging. It turned out to be something wrong with the charge port. I'm on my third replacement phone now, which I got from t-mobile. It cost me nothing because it turned out that I had actually been paying for insurance on my first phone. My newest replacement is doing great! I'm expecting a few years out of this one.
