BLU Studio XL 2 LTE - Need help deciding.

[tomx2x]

Hi.
I'm looking at a BLU Studio XL 2 LTE on the net for $140.00.
Never owned a Blu phone so I have a couple of questions.

1. Is this a good Cellphone for the price. Or does this model have past Issues?

2. It specifies 4900 mah battery. Realistically, light web browsing, Email, 2-3 hrs of Tunein radio, how much up-time will the battery hold before draining.

3. The descriptions states 4G LTE having the following bands:
HSPA+ 42Mbps
2G: 850/900/1800/1900
3G: 850/1700/1900/2100
LTE: 2/4/7/12/17 .
Do you know whether I can get 4G LTE with AT&T or T-Mobile?

4. Finally, where can I get the 4g lte APN settings for this phone.

Thanks.
TC

1. I bought this phone and feel like a lot of phone for the price.
2. With Androids 6.0 Doze, it drains very little while it sleeps. Due to the lower power CPU and lower resolution screen, it is very good on power. With light use, I've had it last 2 and a half days. 2 Days on moderate use, and 1 day of rigorous use like streaming Walking Dead on Sling TV. I no longer have to worry about my phone dying.
3. It has almost all the AT&T bands, (AT&T 2, 4, 5, 17) and covers all of T-Mobiles (T-Mobile 2, 4, 12)
4. The APN settings depends on the carrier and their website will tell you. Sometimes they message you the profiles.
I recommend you buy a speedy UH-1 Type 10 Micro SD Card and put everything on there. 16gb is a bit small. Also, Android 6.0 allows you to combine the SD card like it was part of the internal memory.
