   Best Phone Ever
   This phone is fast, reliable, sleek, simple, and honestly amazing. I have have iPhones, Samsung ZFlip s, Galaxies, all of the above and legit this phone is the best one I’ve used in a very long time. I’m also very critical when I review, so like, yeah, this phone is a beast. It’s worth trying, the price is unbeatable and between the battery life lasting on a charge for like 2/3 days at a time, the touch screen ease, sound options and quality, and the storage being expensive via cloud while already being massive, this phone is the answer. For real, buy this one. It’s 100% worth it. $1000 phone quality for $200. #GameChanger

   Great Phone for the price
   This is my first blu phone and I’m very impressed to say the least. The screen is very good it’s get plenty bright it’s a curved display with 120hrz. Running day to day apps like Facebook, Instagram and tiktok runs with no problem. Text messaging, switching back and forth between apps is really smooth with the 120hrz display. It’s running a near stock version of android 14. There’s no skin like some Redmi phones. You might experience a hiccup or two here and there but that’s not a deal breaker at all. Very slim, lightweight phone that fits perfectly in my pocket with my other phone. The camera and speaker are probably the only downfall to this phone. The speaker isn’t that loud and lacks base. The camera isn’t to bad if you’re in decent lighting and using the main 64 megapixel camera. not bad but I’ve definitely seen better. I’m using this phone on mint mobile. I have no problems with getting notifications text messages and RCS chats work I get 5G connectivity with speeds over 50mb per second. Overall I really like the design of this phone the software. haptic feedback is very good when typing. The screen is probably the best that you can get in this price point. I would recommend if your looking for cheep android phone that can do it all

   BLU does it again!
   I have owned BLU phones from the first time they were available on Amazon. That is years of using BLU/BOLD phones. I found them to be reliable and functional for the time I used them. I am always interested in the next new 5G phone from BLU, and now I have it.I find that the BOLD K50 is ideal for me. Lightweight, slim, responsive, fast 5G.Every function I need is on this phone. I usually have plenty of battery left at the end of the day, unless I listened to a book for a few hours. The camera is fine for all I’ve asked of it. Volume is adequate formy normal hearing. Included headphones work well. And best of all, I can charge this phone with my laptop’s charger since they share the same type of connector.

   Very nice phone but two problems
   This is a very nice phone in quality, screen Super AMOLED. Ram makes it snappy. Decent camera and decent audio. But the two issues for me that makes it not one to keep are heat, and no optical image stabilization. The phone gets a bit warmer than my other phone and that isn’t good. The other issue is there is no OIS during video capture, and that is a big flaw for me. But for $199, I think it’s a steal for a new 2024 BLU phone.

   Very adequate phone with good feel and great out of the box battery life
   Not my first BLU phone but my first Bold, not a bad option considering whats currently available. My last phone was a BLU F91 5G, which if it was still available I would have just bought another. I can’t reconcile mentally why there is no wireless charging. Seriously, all the reasonably priced options don’t have it any longer. The only reason I “upgraded” was because the battery in my old phone got hot enough to off gas and blow the back of the case off on my old phone so I did not have a ton of time to wait around looking for a new phone.I have been using this phone for a week and here are all the things I have noticed so far.1. It does have a dual sim card slot, but an odd one. Its on the bottom of the phone, and very difficult to get out even with the tool they provided, it took a bit of a hook to get it out. Its thicker than usual and the sim card kind of snaps in, because its double sided. You put one card facing out on the top and bottom, new to me after having dozens of phones. Nowhere could I find if it was dual sim in the documentation (Sim1 is on top).2. Its big enough storage to justify not having an SD card slot. I know nobody is doing it these days, but I have had more phones die than SD cards and a good waterproof SD card can save the day if you have a whole trips worth of pictures on the phone when you dunk it hard enough to kill the phone. But, with 256GB its got enough storage for all my MP3’s and lots of pictures (I travel a lot and am on the water often where I have no service but want to be able to have music on board) plus all my apps. There was a bunch of unnecessary bloatware but not terrible and it was easy to clean up. I am at 41% used before I start taking pictures so its a bit dicey for long term usage.3. The onboard storage is slow. Unbearably slow. Transferring my files from my Windows or Unix PC was maddeningly slow, regardless of USB cable or which port I used. These are the same devices and cables I use for my old phone as well as an even older BLU G91 Pro and they are both 100 times faster to copy files over USB either to the SD card or the internal storage. It was so slow and unusable that I had to try multiple cables and ports before giving up on moving my MP3’s over by USB and installing an FTP client on my phone. That was the only way I could move anything more than a few small files on or off the phone. Its something that I can overcome but its maddening.4. It came with a screen protector on it. Its good because there are not a lot of options yet, but I didn’t see that anywhere.5. The case it comes with is laughable and there are not many options currently and you never know if there ever will be. Honestly for this to be in the Bold line and not have a better case than this is a bit odd. My last 2 phones had the black lightly armored cases that were good enough not to need an upgrade, this one is going back a few years and its a throw away if you can find something better. The first one I have tried doesn’t even come close to having the right openings for this phone even if it fits the general form factor and camera lens so if you need a decent case maybe this is not the right phone for you.6. The fingerprint scanner is adequate but not great. Its in the screen which is the new hottness, but it doesn’t work as well as my last several low end phones. I have 7 or 8 fingerprints registered to try and help my two fingers work but I have to hold it just right to get it to unlock. It works and I am getting used to it but the back panel and power button scanners both work better for me.7. Battery life is fantastic and it charges well. It does take a bit more power to do a fast charge but it is very fast and the battery easily lasts me all day. No complaints at all, other than damn I wish it had wireless charging, I mean its 2024 and many, many cars have wireless charging and it would be great to be able to use it. I know it adds heat and I wouldn’t really use it in the summer and its not that fast but if you are driving its nice to just keep it topped off if you don’t want to deal with wires.8. The screen is just lovely. I really should have lead with this. its the nicest looking screen I have every used, and its very bright and very clear. It is so easy to read I might be in the market for a second one because my wife’s phone screen is terrible compared to this one.9. Its fast enough most of the time. Fastest phone I have ever had, very responsive nearly all the time. The ram is plenty for an old dude who has way to much open and way to many notifications all the time. The only thing slow so far is the camera, and I wonder if its because the storage is slow. That sucks for me, I have missed several candid shots already and experience has told me this is as fast as the phone will get. I am going to have to slow down myself and see if lowering the resolution will help but as of now the shutter speed is slow enough I have taken several pictures of my feet. I have only taken few a dozen pictures and a couple videos, and while they look really really good on the screen I haven’t tried them on a big screen yet. The camera would also benefit from some form of stabilization but it works well enough for the price point from a quality standpoint.Overall its a good phone, I wish it had a decent case, and faster camera and storage. It wouldn’t hurt to have an SD card slot. It still sucks to not have wireless charging. I hope BLU brings that one back. Its a great phone to look at and feels good in my hand and for the price its very good.

   Very happy with purchase
   So far this phone has had no issues. It’s very fast. Crystal clear and very responsive to touch. Running on android 14. And full of features I’m still finding out. And battery life is more than I expected. With plenty of memory. Hopefully I can get another for my fiance seeing she got me to switch over to android 10/10
