    I have the Honor 8 - you have questions - ask away!

    One of the criticisms in reviews of the phone was when placing the screen brightness in manual mode, the adjustment slider could really dial in brightness at low brightness setting. At the higher end of the brightness adjustment range, however, it was difficult to set. It was all "bunched up"...

    Moto G4 & G4 Plus are missing LTE band 17?

    The Moto G4 & G4 Plus are missing LTE band 17 -- which in practically a necessity if you want to use it on AT&T in the U.S. The G4 Play has band 17. Very strange...

    Does anyone have a Blu Studio One Plus?

    I received mine & immediately checked it out for the battery issues I found on two Blu Life One X's. The battery on this one was just fine. The Good: Nice looking phone with good display. The Bad: 1) The published dimensions & claimed 81% screen to body ratio is WRONG! Seems Blu can't even...

    Emailed Blu about 6.0 on Life One X

    If Blu is nothing else, they are very consistent in breaking upgrade promises. Except for rare exceptions, what you buy initially is all you get -- so take it or leave it. If you want updates, go with a better vendor.

    Blu Studio One Plus published size is WRONG!

    I received my Blu Studio One Plus, having purchased it because of the large 5.5" HD display and supposed small size. The specs from Blu are that the phone is 143.5mm tall & 71.2mm wide. The thickness given is inconsistent -- one place on their info sheet says 7.6mm thick, & another says 8.7mm...

    Does anyone have a Blu Studio One Plus?

    I caught that price as well and ordered one that will arrive on Monday. I also tried two copies of the Blu Life One X and both had battery issues. When the indicated remaining battery level got down the 10%, it simply "crashed" loosing 1% per minute, and when it got to 3% or some, I had just...

    Does anyone have a Blu Studio One Plus?

    Anyone got one of these yet? B&H and New Egg have some colors in stock, but no posted reviews so far. Unlike the Vivo 5, these have LTE bands 12 & 17. Smaller footprint than the Vivo 5 or XL for a 5.5" screen.

    What is BLU's OS Update track record?

    [CLOSED] Contest: Win an Honor 5X from Android Central!

    I'd much prefer to see this phone with "Pure" Android, but if I win, I'm perfectly happy to give the UI a try.
