For this to be an $100 Android and not iPhone, it's perfect. I'm impressed. I didn't want to make my review until the day I wanted to test it out. I went to meek mill concert in Detroit last night and omg, look at this quality... Girl yeah you better get this phone. Stop sleeping on cheap stuff because this phone is living proof that the quality is better than I price I paid. I'm so thankful
It was ok, it's a little slow at first at initial start up but after a few minutes it's running smooth. Picture quality is ok, not the best but I've seen much worse on more expensive devices. Audio quality is decent. Battery life is pretty good the hot key on side for battery saver also includes an accelerate option which instantly kills processes and frees up memory which is great. Comes with charger, clear case, sim tool and a sticker. All in all I'm happy with it and feel it was worth the $99.
It does come with Android 8.1.0 (not Go Version like the picture shows) and yes the chrome metal back is a fingerprint magnet.
A few things I've found since using it more, videos on YouTube tend to close the app after a few minutes in landscape, higher graphic games are slow and video audio can get choppy at times. This isn't a huge deal to since I use my tablet for most of these things anyway.
Having broke my previous Blu phone, I decided to take my chances with his cheap Blu here. And wow what a surprise it was! The phone not only looks modern and clean, it has everything a stock android experience can offer.
Pros:
Vibrant and large display (surprised it's only 720p)
All bloatware can be deleted with ease
Stock Oreo 8.1, with little to no trace of Blu Ui (other than the launcher)
Google news feed available at the home screen
a smooth experience overall
Ram management is decent
~9 GB of storage available from the start
Adoptable Storage from SD Card
Fingerprint lock (not the smoothest but definitely acceptable)
Face Unlock (haven't tried it but a good feature overall)
Selfie Flash (not many phones have this)
Dual Cameras for Portrait mode
Cons
phone is a bit laggy at times
Only 7 steps of volume control (why!?)
Not confirmed for Android Pie update
Notch can be annoying at times (can be hidden)
Battery life is subpar (ultra battery saving mode available)
Camera is definitely nothing to write home about (it's pretty bad)
If you can pass up these cons, this is definitely a good starter phone and I'll never regret purchasing from Blu.
Having come from an Honor 6X this phone feels like an upgrade in some ways, and a downgrade in others.
PROs
-Display: it's larger, and is brighter than the former phone I utilized. Video quality seems similar, and a bit better due to the higher brightness.
-Fingerprint Sensor: It's on the rear of the device. Makes it similar to my old phone, and I prefer the placement.
-Android 8 is good, still getting used to it.
CONs
-Battery: The battery seems to drain quicker than my old Honor phone.
-Adaptive Brightness: Doesn't seem to work properly I have resorted to manually adjusting it as appropriate.
-Storage: The internal storage is less, but this is mostly mitigated by the SD card which can be formatted as internal storage.
For a budget device it is a good phone, the placement of the charge port is a bit odd being at the top. I have noticed some signal issues inside some buildings but it does allow me to shop in peace.
Like a lot of people here, I was confused as to exactly which phone I just bought. The reply from Blu customer service is my headline above. So, it is the correct phone, but their naming conventions are confusing. Anyhow, I've only used the phone for 4 days so far, but I'm quite impressed so far. I've owned a few other Blu phones, at different price points, and I'll probably keep buying them. I was concerned about the 1 star reviews I saw before this purchase, but nothing that I read has proven to be true so far. The cameras aren't perfect, but they're really not too bad, either. If you're expecting to get a high-end phone for $100, you'll be disappointed, but otherwise this seems to be a fine phone. I've attached an outdoor photo from a mostly cloudy day, just to show that the rear camera isn't terrible, albeit not perfect.

Description
R2 Plus 2019 combines beautiful form factor, along with precise engineer to produce a premium smartphone like No other. Promoting a gorgeous Gradient paint technique brings life into the palm of your hand, your R2 Plus 2019 will be the talk of town. A true life Color display with notch function finish off the impeccable product.
This is my third Blu and I have loved every single one. Bought prior models also for my wife, son and daughter. This model has a beautiful screen, really fast and is really elegant. I have never understood why some folks want to pay hundreds more for the same functionality. Blu is an exceptional value.
I have had the phone for 2 months. Nice size and design. Processing power is much slower than my R1 I replaced. Shattered. This one does some quirky things as well. VERY sensitive to the side of my face while I am talking. Opens and changes settings at will. Has switched to Do Not Disturb mode a couple of times. Icons get moved around on the main screen or disappear all together. All in all a good phone for a good price.
Even though the screen is not full HD resolution, Its display is still great. The battery savor mode is not normally found on phone in this price range. This makes it possible with its small battery size to enjoy a fairly decent charge time. However, the lower battery capacity allows it to be placed in a thin case, making it much lighter than other phones in this price range.
I have already purchased 4 blue cellphone in a year, because I accidently break them (anger issues), and they have been all great. Excellent cellphone, I really recommend them. I hope the last one bought can last a little longer with me, sense I'm trying to don't play baseball with it.
The phone looks great and feels solid. Buttons and ports are functional and (mostly) intuitive. I've been pleased and surprised with how good the display quality is. It is far superior to my wife's iPhone SE, for example.
Warning: this phone is slow. Most apps function alright, but even texting without any apps open in the background, there are noticeable lags. If you want speed, this phone ain't for you.
However, I am happy with it. It gets the job done. And for $100 I couldn't reasonably ask for anything better.
Cheers,
