BLU Bold N1 - User Reviews

  • I wonder if they never tried to pronounce the name... BLU Bold sounds like blue balled

  • Wow really?!?!??!???!!!!?????!!?!????!?

  • 100% agreed

  • wheres android 10 at???????????????????????

  • Pandora issue has been fixed

  • It will not download Pandora. Have to keepe rebooting it.Some pages open slowly or not at all.Then Blu is gonna charge me a $35 restocking fee when their product doesn't work? It takes numerous emails to get through to them.

  • Why specifically?

  • i will never buy another blu phone again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This phone can not play Pandora, they say a patch is coming out, doubt it

  • BLU needs to improve their camera hardware/software, their phones have good specs at a budget price, but the camera has always been a deal breaker, hope BLU can fix it.

  • Yeah but 270 bucks is quite a bit more expensive than 200. Almost 1.3 times the price. And that's for the 64gb model. (without a microSD card slot)

  • I mean for like 70 more dollars the mi 9t can offer actually decent video with gcam.

  • Put it in the water and find out

  • Phone not working out for me.Fingerprint sensor rarely works. Pandpra App wont load. Have to keep rebooting it. Volume key is hit or miss.

  • Any idea does Bold N1 cover 4G/LTE band in Pakistan.

  • Are you seriously wishing for worse specs? 720p is awful. And the size is amazing considering the tiny bezels.

  • damn this is a flagship killer for the specs but i wish the screen was smaller and in 720p but that's just me

  • I really don't understand why they couldn't make it shoot in 4k.

  • Nope, they have to pay for independent reviews of their software security for 20 years after they got caught and fined. It'll be squeaky clean now!

  • It's a damn shame the cameras are so godawful for filming. Utterly useless footage. Could've been an amazing phone.

  • Bold = Blu - Are they still selling erm, uh i mean: sending phone data to China?

  • Uhhhhh yes it will. ATT and TMobile both run GSM. This phone in particular is capable of using 4 of the 6 bands TMobile uses for 4G LTE. This will very much work in the US.

  • i got the phone yesterday and it is working fine. like a high end phone and moderate pricing

  • you serious? the only place it wont work is the usa because their the only place that doesnt use GSM..

  • Order it from Amazon US and get it delivered to UK / Europe if you really want it

  • It's an amoled panel

  • Well all Blu in general I like but the company should improve there phones more like displays get the latest displays and screen for the devices improve more on the camera quality amount and specs improve on the ram and storage they are twelve and eight gb Rams n more out there put more storage video quality picture quality specs in general the Android skin for each Android gorilla glass 5 and up speakers a Blu that is better than the Blu g9 and g9pro and even the bold n1 bring more upgraded fingerprint and facial recognition security in display security I really love Blu I even have a g9 right now and waiting to see what new Blu will be release in the next couple days get more up dates and feature for the Blu phones more battery life ect just a concerned Blu consumer/buyer

  • Quite annoying how this isn't available worldwide. Why go through all this trouble developing a product then lock out the majority of the world from purchasing it? Can't imagine it's too hard for a multi-billion dollar company like Blu to stock and ship these phones anywhere other than USA. Its 2019 for gods sake, take the money people are trying to give you, take a leaf out of OnePlus' book. Ridiculous.

  • Yeah this isn't it. The Umidigi F1 Play has bigger 6GB RAM, 48MP camera, NFC, the same speed CPU*, a much bigger 5150mAh battery, and costs $20 less. Sure, the F1 Play has a notch so no pop-up camera... but is a teeny tiny little bit of screen real-estate worth the downgrade in specs and a higher price? *Helio P60 and Helio P70 have the same specs and perform identically - P70 has an extra "AI" processing core which actually neither of these phones use anyway.

  • We NEED IT in Europe, I'm begging you BLU

  • I love this phone's looks and specs, only issue for me is NFC.

  • I just got his phone delivered yesterday. It is 6.4 inch AMOLED display. Display is awesome, comparable with Samsung S9 plus. Phone is lightning fast. Youtube videos loads up pretty quickly and plays at 1080p resolution. No nothches or punch holes hiding the content. I did a ookla speed test and it goes till 220 Mbps. Worth the money for current price of $200.

  • Is it water proof or water resistant? What is the IP rating?

  • The display is an AMOLED not LCD.

  • You aint killing anyone with wifi standards from 2009 lol. No ac wifi or 5ghz band on a 250 dollar phone is pretty bad.

  • As manufactures site LTE Band 5 is not supported. That is 3 bands less for TMobile (5, 66, and 71 missing)

  • As per the manufacturers website, the BOLD N1 features a 6.4 inch AMOLED display -- not LCD!

  • its not lcd it is amoled

  • According to the website, it's using an AMOLED screen? Might want to fix that

  • what the nice price and so far better than notcia (buggy, bad comeback by Nokia actually)

  • what da nice price

  • xiaomi mi 9T/k20 killer, change my mind!

  • india launch??

  • Under display scanner for LCD, wow!

  • At lest 200USD Not like Nokia crap's 7.2

  • Hello Archos Diamond. Or is this the Allview X6 Xtreme? It's both! Just very slightly modified Good phone though. Especially for the price

  • 159MM TALL JUST 3500MAH just like nokia 7.2...6.2 not good

  • It die get 9 pie on vivo xi+

  • around 200 usd? no not really.. it's around 300 eur for amoled, notchless, wireless charging.

  • I just purchased this phone today, and was told in an email at 2:02 pm that it already shipped!! 😁👍🏼 I'll post back with first impressions! Looks amazing for the 199.99 USD which includes free shipping and no sales tax!

  • it looks like a very good phone for its price but whats the point because we all know that it wont get android 10 BLU also promised that the Blu vivo xl+ would get Android 9 pie but I don't think it ever did I hope that it gets Android 10. I don't anticipate seeing it in 2019, but this is a new brand. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and take the wait-and-see approach. If it does happen, it will be a great step in the right direction for this new brand

  • Finally some fine device from Blu.Price can be better..

  • 4/128GB is great specs for 200 USD price.
