BLU Studio 5.0 II Unlocked Dual SIM Phone
By Robert J
The Studio 5.0 II is a fairly nice way to do inexpensive, yet big. The manual is sketchy on a few things, like sim card, micro-sd card placement, which can make for a bit of headache for the non-techie types. The stock Launcher has that search bar on the top of all screens, and wont let you position some things the way you might like, but, by getting Nova Launcher, or another off the googlePlay site, all these flaws go away. Sound on calls is clear and not tinny to the other party, although the earpiece could be better, it is usable. The micro-sd slot is under the back cover, which is a pain, in my opinion. The ips screen is great on color, and evenly lit. The 512mb of working ram may be small to some, so consider your needs carefully. It may not be a perfect fit for some, but its quite usable if you want a low cost android phone. The 5mp camera takes VERY nice pictures, although the front facing camera is weak, and mine needs serious color correction.
In My Opinion... Tech support is not effective to call, but do respond to emails within a 24-48hr window, so dont expect fast answers if you have a question, but they WILL answer.
This sucker IS huge, making cases that fit a rare find in local stores, compare to a Galaxy Note 3, or LG G flex, so best you can hope for is generic cases or holsters, as the buttons and charge port dont line up with the other phones. Hmmm, maybe check some of the great buys on Amazon? :-)
After buying this phone sight unseen, I would have no problem buying one of BLU's more expensive models based on what I have seen and handled, but think this will last me a while if handled carefully.

Good phone
By laura
I just got this phone 2 days ago and love it, The only problem I have with it is front camera has poor quality, and the phone is a little big but it dont bother me too much. I would recomend this phone. For the price this phone is awesome.

GREAT PHONE!
By Footnote
I love this phone. I've never owned an unlocked phone before. I bought it because I wanted a prepaid phone to use for my business phone. I have it turned on with Straight Talk's service and it works great! I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone. I knew before purchasing that the front camera was low grade and the rear camera was 5.0 MP because I read the specs on the BLU Products website before purchasing, so nothing about the specs bothered me. There were no surprises because I knew what I was buying. If you want a great phone with a great camera I would recommend one of the other BLU Products phones with a higher grade front camera. The features on this phone are amazing.

The biggest thing on the list of amazing features is the conference call feature. You can initiate a conference call and disconnect one line without disconnecting all of the callers and having to call back. Another feature I loved was the call waiting. When switching calls, it does not prevent you from initiating a conference call after one caller disconnects. I run into this issue with my personal cell on the Verizon Wireless network.

(upadated) I did have one issue with this phone. I could not figure out how to get the SD card in the slot, but someone commented on my review and told me how to. View the comment if you cannot figure it out. Another minor issue is with the text messaging. At times there is a slight glitch that will select a emoticon/emoji in the middle of your typing. It doesn't happen all of the time, but it does happen.

This phone is the perfect work phone. I get all SMS, MMS, and e-mail messages seamlessly and there are no issues with the phone thus far. I have had the phone connected for 8 days now and I love it. I'm seriously considering leaving Verizon Wireless because this is a GSM phone and does not work on CDMA (Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Boost Mobile) networks.
