BLU G8 - User Reviews

  • I just bought one of these at BestBuy in Chicago so that I could use the second SIM slot when I was in Europe. Well I'm in Amsterdam now and just bought a Vodafone SIM and guess what. It doesn't work. The SIM works fine in other phones, just not this one. What's up with that... That was my only main for selecting this phone... I'm seriously disappointed. My other single SIM phone works just fine in Europe and it was actually cheaper than the Blu. :-( :-( :-(

  • I just bought one and it has way better reception than my more expensive galaxy s8!

  • Reminds me of a Huawei phone, especially with the whole "AI Camera" thing and the camera placement

  • I suspect the chipset is the Unisoc SC9863A (sauce: )
