This Unlocked Cell Phones give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Great Phone ... but the Auto Dim feature makes it almost unusable.
This is a really good phone for the most part. Huge clear screen and very snappy. I was very happy with this phone until .... I tried to read a long web page with it.
As someone else mentioned the display has a particular annoying behavior were it dims after 5 seconds. When I first noticed this I thought no problem, it's an Android, I can update the screen timeout settings. I soon came to find that the Display Settings are a little different from my Galaxy S2. Different in that there is no way to disable the screen dim timeout. Even if I could increase the timeout to 5 minutes or something the issue would be hugely mitigated. But there is nothing. I tried a lot of apps from Google Play to see if this is something that could fix it but none of them worked.
I contacted Customer Support who informed me there is no way to adjust this feature. I made the decision at that point that I could not live with it and returned the phone today.
Everything else with...
2. Life view review
I buy stuff on Amazon all the time and never write reviews. I wanted to write a review for this phone because there really isn't that much quality feedback in regards to this device. I actually purchased this phone after returning an s4 due to it being way to expensive and before that I was using an s2. I have been very used to the Samsung interface. The blu phones are definitely more simple or "stock" android which is an adjustment from a galaxy experience. I do like the phone. It looks very cool and impressive. The screen is huge and bright. Surfing the web and watching videos is awesome on this thing. I am using a Walmart family mobile (tmobile) sim card and it worked immediately with no issues and i mostly get the hspa signal so it is pretty snappy with the internet.The phone feels sturdy in hand with some weight to it. The specs are pretty decent for the price. The speakers are OK. Camera is nice. I'm not a huge picture taker but it is nicer than what I need I suppose.My only...

Another Great Blu Phone
I did have a Blu Quattro 5.7 but after 2 weeks the ear speaker went out. I returned it and got this one. I was hesitant since there is no Micro SD Card slot. However, I am using Google Drive and storing all my files and music on there.
In the box was: The phone, earbuds with several size buds,instructions, charger and USB cable, screen protector, and a cover. This is one of the first unlocked phones that I got from Amazon that the box seal wasn't broken.
Its very sturdy and fits nicely in the hand. I love the fact that it has Gorilla Glass.
The phone as a great camera. Its a huge improvement over the camera on the Quattro. I also love the updates to the Android OS. It is smooth and very responsive. I like how you can setup the security to use your face to unlock the phone or a phrase.
I installed a couple of programs that you might want to check out (free):
1. Advanced Task Manager. This kills running programs and frees up the phone memory.
2. Open Mic+...
