BLU Life One - User Reviews

  • This phone has been my best purchase so far. Bought sometime in late 2014, this phone has been going on quite strong. In fact, years after I purchased the phone, thanks to the phone case, many people wondered if I had a completely new phone each year. Since then I haven't been using the case at all, but the overall body of the phone shows the absolute minimal amount of wear. The 1GB of ram has been limiting the phone for multitasking (or even single tasking) applications but the 13MP camera really makes up for that. Overall, this phone has paid for itself many times over. Will definitely buy another good BLU for sure.

  • I picked up the Life One while Blu had their sales promotion. After years of use, I continue having NO issues. The price was embarrassing and the Life One has been a joy to my surprise, including the original battery which continues without fail. Run down the battery before charging (with any cell phone.) The Kitkat OS has worked without fail.. thanks BLU.

  • My blue l120 works well since 2014 still works the blue 5.0c HD battery can work in blue l120 same spec

  • Hey Anonymous, Hope you've opened your phone way before this. You can begin popping off the rear cover by inserting your fingernail bottom rear center and gently pulling cover away from the frame.

  • The volume is on the top right side of phone.

  • How do I maintain volume on this phone

  • The power button is not working :'( and now that it is drained, i don't know how will i open it :'( but it's battery is 100 % . pls help me

  • Same issue here. Would love a resolution.

  • My phone comes on but the screen remains black..

  • The phone has WiFi on but still tell me the WiFi is off

  • My internal storage is storing everything how do I get the other storage to work

  • The phone doesn't run lollipop, so this is likely your fault if you forced it to update to lollipop.

  • The Phone does not support Lollipop, so either you did something you shouldn't have or you don't have this phone

  • Talked into buying Blue life 1. OK at first before automatically updated to lollipop 5. Now have 1 ringtone. Blue ringtone #3. Tech support after 3 months still no help. Wife has same phone, same problem. I've had cheaper Walmart phones that haven't given me these problems. If tech support ever fixes, will be a good phone. Research has shown me that these phones are so quickly put back in service that previous problems are not resolved before put back on shelves for resale.

  • Since lately my contacts aren't saving to th device or the sim. I'll save a contact from whatsapp, and it shows but once the phone restarted its now....Can I get some help please.

  • Same problem.. Hoping to figure this out. Following this thread

  • I have this version of the phone but suddenly my SMS messages disappeared and I no longer get SMS messages. How do you resolve this please? I have gone through the settings and it didn't work. Thank you

  • Thanks for the tip about how to make screenshots.

  • I got one about 6 months ago and its been freezing a lot lately. Not too surprised because it was a cheaper phone but it's kinda annoying when the screen goes black and I have to wait for the battery die to reset it

  • I read that raising it to your ear will answer the call...give that a try. Motion sensor...

  • my blu one screen is stick and i can't even unlock the the phone to get call or any thing

  • It is NOT from apple. The guys who made this brand USED to work for apple. Look it up before you spout off nonsense

  • I just need someone to tell me how to answer this phone. Do I swipe up? down? sideways? Double Click? I have tried them all and still have a problem.

  • if you use the silicon case maybe it is pressing th on/off button, i have this problem the first day

  • I had my blu life one for one and a half tears from new the volume was always very low now my phone just keep rebooting over and over even if I remove the battery and reinstall it continues to do the same thing I cannot charge the battery or make and receive calls somebody please heeeelp

  • I have a Gps problem since 2 months ago ,please somebody help me too!

  • I really like this phone. I like how the screen is big enough to help my eyes see the things on it. I also like how it works great out of India! I have been to the US several times, and it works like a charm. I would definitely encourage people to buy this phone, because of it's great sound, screen, and reception. It is great!!!!! p.s ( i think it is ps. I am not good at US slang) I have had this phone a little over 2 years and i am going to get another one.

  • I literally JUST received the life one half an hour ago. As soon as i put it on i started hearing this weird high pitched crackling noise and its not stopping. Does anyone know what's wrong or how to stop it?

  • I have this phone over a year -works fine - volume & Reception is good but manufacture could have made it louder to compete - works well in other countries - for the price it works well- I have 3 no regrets just dont know how to clear all recent calls- need help

  • can you delete recent calls display

  • Say adobe has stopped sometimes

  • Because there is an older version of the BLU Life One. The version she's referring to is the older version. The newer version I just bought and the camera is GREAT! I love the phone over all. To look for the newer version you would have to find the one that says BLU Life One (2015 Version)

  • I tried both... Camera still not functioning

  • How can that have happened "over the last year", when the Life One has only been on the market since late April 2015? Even if you got one of the very first you can't have had it more than 4 months!

  • I've had this phone since April last year - long enough to rate it. This is my first Android phone and now I can say I had a very enjoyable experience: it didn't break my bank, works like a clock, and does exactly what it is supposed to do! The phone is very well thought out and has a solid feel to it, very elegant, light and just the right size to fit comfortably in the hand or purse. The screen is very clear and bright, sensitive to touch, has really nice colors and is big enough not to strain the eyes. Cameras are 13mp (back) and 5 mp (front). Both are very good. Back one is doing a bit better job than front one, but both take very clear, bright pictures in day light and good quality pictures in evening light. Speakers are really nice and provide clear sound, either you are talking on the phone or listening to the music. I use GPS all the time. Phone is doing a great job! Once in a while, mostly when it's wind and weather, it can not find the signal right away, but once it's there it always takes me to my destination no problems. If I am off the path, it's rerouting immediately. Battery lasts for quite a while and is enough for all my daily routine: calls, e-mail, msgs, play time, music. I put it to charge only in the very late evening and it lasts throughout the next day. Like any other phone, playing game apps will suck the battery faster than anything else, but the battery will still last until the very end of the day for me. Traveled to Europe with this phone. It connected to the local provider immediately and during my stay there I didn't have any issues with connections - whether I was making local or international calls. The sound was good quality and clear. Of course, it doesn't have noise reduction like Samsung, but it doesn't cost like Samsung either! I never had any problems with my phone freezing, shutting off, charging issues, messaging, or WiFi problems. So, I am very happy with my toy. Great phone! Great price! Highly recommended! If you're expecting this phone to have all those "high-end functions and appearances", then probably, Samsung 6 and HTC will suit you better, along with their prices! But if you're looking for a well-budgeted, reliable, good quality phone that compares very well with the "high-end phones", but doesn't necessarily have all those "bells and whistles", then this is the phone for you!

  • My WiFi sucks it like using Bluetooth I have to be really close to the router and sometimes the power button doesn't work and I have to remove the battery to turn it on. I have found also that the charging port is a bit loose. It has all the features I was looking for but these problems are annoying.

  • I thought this was going to be a really good phone. It had all the features I was looking for. It should have been a great phone based on the specs, but being stuck on Jellybean for all eternity wasn't what I had in mind. Other than the fact that the micro USB port on the phone has slowly loosened over the past year, the unit is solidly built and has a great looking display. It just sucks in the area of actual battery life and performance, and it makes me wish I hadn't bought it.

  • I have the same problem 2...

  • Will my phone upgrade to the latest OS?

  • I love my phone but only problem is the volume is so low even when I put it on high. Please can you help me fix it?!?

  • I have lost signal as well

  • Same here.... I had my phone for a year and now I get no signal

  • anybody find ROM for this phone... KITKAT?

  • Can anyone PLEASE tell me how I set up my voicemail

  • Did anyone fix the GPS problem?

  • I was wondering the same thing. I just got phone and I love it. I don't know why people pay all those high and redic prices for a phone when I got the same thing with the ability to do the same thing and paid 1/3 of what those people do.

  • Its just like Micromax Canvas 4. full copy or micromax can import these chinese phone, and paste their brand name, and sell in india.

  • i have the same problem.. do you find some solutions?

  • After 6mths it stop recognising any sim card

  • Mine wont pick up wifi how could i fix that i have wifi it just wont find it

  • does the hotspot feature on the phone work with straightalk?

  • The same thing happened to me and now its not cutting on and the light that shows its charging isn't even appearing. Did yours ever come back on?

  • Its a question. My GPS turns on for itself when I take it off it comes back on. Is this a glitch can any1 help

  • Looks great, but gps doesn't work and that is a dealbreaker..

  • Yes the same thing is happening to the one that I bought for my phone. I have emailed Blu and I am hoping for a quick response.

  • The company is Apple, the same one that makes the Iphone. This division of it IS located in florida though.

  • Hi, to make screenshots hold the power and volume down buttons together until you hear the capture sound.

  • why is phone turning off and when it does and i try to turn it on it keeps buffering over and over again...?

  • What parts are you looking for? There are cases and extra batteries on Amazon and the phone will take any 3.5mm set of headphones you want to buy. The built in FM radio requires the headphones to be plugged in, so it may not work with Non-BLU headphones.

  • had same problem with my BLU Life One (M) ..finally found a solution on googleplay store ..a free app. by lovekara ..

  • I love my phone but my camera keeps turning upside down. I have to take the back off the phone & then it turns around the right way. But soon its back to being upside down. Does anyone else have this problem?

  • Is the screen suppose to light up when I get a notification or just the little light in the front? I feel like there is a lot of small problems with this phone.

  • Mine cannot connect to the camera.

  • Great phone it really is worth the money however the only things I would particularly improve is 1. More RAM 1Gb is not that much as it is easily used up 2. Optional but a larger battery would be good maybe 2500mAh

  • Try restarting your phone or try to factory reset it

  • Same here. I've been using the phone for about 8 months and 2 months ago, the camera app turned to a green screen then it stopped working altogether. Bummed out, because I need the camera as well.

  • Are there parts available for the Blu life one?

  • Works ok , i Stay in Madras

  • does this phone have voice activated talk to text like the windows phone

  • can we use it it in&nbs­p;india effectively?

  • The only down side i have using this phone is if the battery should be 2600mah or more. otherwise though the L120 is the best. hope the come out with extended replacement battery soon

  • Been using this phone for about 4/5 months. Overall, i would recommend it to any one. PROS - Camera works good, Storage capabilities are exceptional,OS is quite fast, viewing pix, vids etc great. CONS - of recent i have been experiencing some problems with the WIFI i dont kno if anyone can relate, but the WIFI says connected and when i try to use it i cant. PLEASE NOTE this only happens in places where signal is not exceptionally strong.

  • Has anyone had the problem with the camera? Mine is saying it can't connect to the camera and its been like that for a few days now and I need the camera for a lot of things. Please help.

  • I would say the phone is okay, but I paid 300 bucks and I cannot get my voicemail to work. Then customer service is the worst I've ever dealt with. I am completly disappointed. I want my money back and throw the phone at the person for giving me such a headache! Hope someone can help because searching on the web to change my access number is ridiculous! And the rep said he doesn't have internet service to top it off! Pissed off

  • I can't comment on the WiFi... It seems work work fine on this phone... My issue is the GPS... Doesn't work on this phone... Only way it works is if you stand in an open field and say there.... If you move you might lose GPS lock... For example I went for an hour long drive yesterday... GPS locked onto satellites when we were turning off the car... Had to switch over to my nexus 5 instead... Nexus 5 locked onto satellite 1 second after starting the map program while we were moving... I am returning the phone to amazon just as soon as I get the moto x in the mail...

  • The only version is the L120 , A o I does not exist

  • I have heard some people comments about the wifi and how the phone shut off unexpectedly. Pls tell me if one can use another Earpiece except the one that comes with this phone and how far about the wifi issues. And lastly some people says it has 2 versions(l120a & l120i), is it true cos gsm arena didnt mention anything like l120a & l120i. Pls reply

  • Does blu plan to update this phone be updated??

  • The phone worked great. But have recently ran into a problem I don't know if the transmitter or antena was broken but it only gets service if its laying in one spot for a long period of time. As soon as I pick it up it completely loses all signal I contacted the phone company an everything is fine as far as service being available. I also have another blu phone same carrier gets good service always. How do I go about getting this phone fixed. I have only had it a month an a half an paid almost 300 bucks for it. Would like to have it fixed an not just throw it in the old phone drawer..

  • the wifi has issues, doesnt get signal well and signal drops cannot input more than 63 characters

  • Ive had this phone a month. Its died and shut off once now its on the charger been on there a while and it will not turn on. My red light is blinking still but nothing happens. Please my husband is so pissed..

  • -The battery on this is ok-ish...I mean I used it a lot (surf web, watch 20mins worth of YouTube videos, watched a 2 hour movie at 720p , listened music for about 30mins, texted, Wi-Fi turned on all the time etc.) And the battery lasted about 10 hours.... -The screen is amazing. Nice, bright and large so texting is a breeze... No disappointment there -The camera back camera is OK but some pictures seem dull when compared to pictures took by an S3 -it did shut off on me unexpectedly a couple of time though ..not sure why

  • I just got this phone. So far everything is great however I found out a problem with it. Everytime im in a car and the phone shakes the music stops and plays and stops and plays continuously. I don't know if it is a configuration or and actual manufacturing problem. Can somebody tell me what it is? Thank you in advanced

  • have a problem with lock button need to press a little harder than other phones to lock or turn on

  • i believe its the power button and down volume control

  • The blue life one is thee best phone ever.. I love the colours and I love the fact that it is cheaper than a galaxy or iPhone and u still get this kind of quality. Plus it comes with a case.

  • Blue life one x ..... How does it make a screenshot ?

  • Had this phone for over a year now! It is still amazing. Every blue moon the phone has powered off by itself and it takes a battery pull to reset. But that happens very rarely. Also my GPS does not work. I'm sure that's an issue with the app and not the phone. Other than that, it works beautifully. Several people have commented on how great this phone is compared to their galaxies. And the best part about this phone is Ebay has cases for it now!!!!!!!!!!! We have cases!!!!!!!!!! Go to EBAY everyone!!Yes!!!!!!!!!

  • Why u dont buy it off amazon or eBay. Plus it cheaper when u buy it online. I am a blu fan. I present owned the studio 5.0, 5.0, tank 4.5, dash 3.5 and even a blue diva. And now I have a blu LIFE ONE. Looooooove it.

  • This is indeed an amazing phone for the price tag. Did everything I expected it to do without any lag. Great phone, go for it

  • Great phone, I've had it for like two months without a problem. Battery lasts loooong and it came with the case,charger, handsfree,and screen protector. Looove it!

  • had the phone for 3 weeks with no problems into i went to turn it off it never came back on why is that?

  • I see many wallet type cases but no fitted cases. I bought mine from Negri Electronics and they never sent the silicone case it should have come with and they are now saying they are unable to source one. -_-

  • Hi, if any one can tall me where can I find BLU Life One, in china, please.....

  • Bought two of them from Amazon dealers. My mom finds her easy to use and mine is just as fun. Reminds me of the galaxy s III. Not 4 but it does have better specs than the galaxy as a whole. Blu is amazing. Some apps are incompatible but you'll live.

  • is this a good phone asking again before i buy it can any1 answer just want a mid range good smartphone

  • It is not a rebrand of the micromax canvas 4, the canvas 4 is a rebrand of the blu life one.

  • Yes you can buy many accessories on eBay or Amazon.com

  • can we use life play one battery on this phone, since life play one battery last longer?

  • Does anyone know where I can find a case for this?? Been searching everywhere...for the U.S

  • Does this phone have any form or type of 4g

  • Does this phone have any form or type of 4g network

  • does it have any form of 4g?

  • thats nice i wanted to know how it works like ur post hope the battery is great because i saw a post that thhe life one x battery is a serious down fall and i wanted either d one x or the one

  • thats nice i wanted to know how it works like ur post hope the battery is great because i saw a post that thhe life one x battery is a serious down fall and i wanted either d one x or the one

  • Very good phone. Seems like most phone are manufactured in China..even the iPhone. This is a great phone at a great price. We are very happy with it. Responsive phone and nice screen. We purchased 2 of them.

  • Nope. The company is based in Miami, Fla. U.S.A. but the device is manufactured in China.

  • how is this phone with skype and can it bbm?

  • Ive tried that but it doesn't work....what should I do ?

  • Guys, Again, what a device!!!! PS. I am not affiliated with BLU

  • How's the camera I want 2 buy one. It seems pretty interesting

  • performance of this phone? With Lags? or fluid?

  • To do a screenshot on the BLU LIFE PLAY smartphone you need to press the volume down button and power button at the same time.

  • Same as iPhone, its says design in California bit assemble In china... which meaning its 100% made in china just the parts are here so they say... blue is design and made here in Florida

  • How do you screenshot?

  • Does the phone support Brazilian Portuguese?

  • AT&T & Metro PCS as well.

  • Straight talk or T-Mobile. Basically any carrier that uses a sim card. Not Verizon or Sprint though

  • It's probably the silicone case. Sometimes it pushes the power button down. You can forgo the case or make sure it completely goes over the power button

  • No - it's a rebrand of the Micromax Canvas 4.

  • How can I stop rebooting my blu life one??

  • You mean Blu Life Play? The Blu Life play and your phone features are the same.

  • Blu life one is rebranded mobile of GIONEE elife E3. Iam using gionee for last one month. It is excellent one. no lag. battery back up is good when compared to other phones. build quality is also excellent.

  • with what provider could i connect the blu life one phone

  • you want prof blu is 100 Chinese designed engineered and made and supported phones. just labeled for Americans Fact about Blu it is a non branded chinese phone sold with there name on it. Blu has no support for there product. lastly the only item on the phone that are really blu is the start up logo and the cover on the handbooks and the box reprint and lastly the screen printed name even the first south American store is a 100% copy of MyPhone from the PHs but all that said the phones are not bad at all they are very good for a Chinese engineered and designed phone. Blu was smart to make a resell deal with them and try to cover up the truth about them.

  • Chinesse or not, Blu Life One, do have not competitor at this time, mainly in dual sim market. Very happy with my Life One, with no other option for me in dual sim without a $500+ price.

  • can the blu life play be repaired?

  • Blu is in Florida... If you are gonna post crap like calling a company "flake", etc. you may want to provide evidence as such. Just saying...

  • All these phones are not patented for any single manufacturer,these are all Chinese made phones that are available under thousands of different brand names and are all the same,so Blu isn't really doing anything special,as a matter of fact you can get this same model phone way less that what Blu is selling it for under a different brand name. Blu is a Flake brand!!!

  • I've been searching for a case even before I got this phone. Finally found one on aliexpress.com for the Micromax Canvas A210. Check this link: There's even a review from someone who bought it just for their Blu Life One and they said it fits perfectly. It'll probably take at least a month to arrive but I'm going to try. There are so many cases for the Life Play though, I find it strange that the choices are so few for us.

  • I've had this phone for a few months now, and I LOVE IT!!! Does anyone know where I can find a case for it? Anyone, please?

  • Already reached indian market with the brand name as MICROMAX-model A210....

  • when is this phone reach indian market?androidguruz seems to be a prod affair...

  • There are no cases or parts to fix these phones cracked screen 2 weeks Y do they release these when they even fix BEWARE THEY DO Not HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR THERE ON PHONE Don't waste your money

  • There are no cases or parts to fix these phones cracked screen 2 weeks Y do they release these when they even fix BEWARE THEY DO Not HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR THERE ON PHONE Don't waste your money

  • your can go ebay and buy this case it fit but little snug: Black Leather Case Pouch Belt Clip for Samsung Galaxy Grand DUOS i9082 / i9080 (mod by insert the top hard cover of blu life one box to enlarge the cover for better fit).

  • just type in google micromax canvas A210 back cover buy in India, then you will see some indian companies selling these product. but check with them if they can send to you internationally. What about ebay did you try.

  • Phone does have dual sim, sim 1 is for GSM/UMTS. Sim 2 shows only for GSM. Frequency for UMTS are 850/1900/2100. Does have a microSD card slot, I currently have my 32GB microSD in there.

  • That sucks but at least you'll get some relief!

  • You're welcome! :-)

  • I had to deactivate (disable) lock screen settings. After doing that the phone stopped rebooting by its own. The downside of doing that is that I can't set pass code, or any other security measure...

  • Sounds like a defect. Send it back and get a replacement. Also just a thought but make sure your phone is not set to power off and on repeatedly under the settings menu.

  • Sounds like a defect. Send it back and get a replacement. Also just a thought but make sure your phone is not set to power off and on repeatedly under the settings menu.

  • Thank, it work good

  • That's the thing that I have tried removing the case, the SD card and even factory resetting the phone and it still does it like 15+ times a day. :-(

  • Your going to have to remove the case. Or if you have an exacto knife cut out the power button on the case. When I took my case off it didn't reboot at all for the whole day so it's definitely the case

  • Hey guys did the rebooting problem stopped? In getting frustrated. The phone reboots even in ongoing calls. I've had the phone for less than a week and it reboot itself frequently, interrupting whatever I'm doing. Help please!!

  • Do you guys know where can I buy additional cases for it? The only con I've found is the random rebooting. And that the case has that raised part for the power button...

  • Thank you for this! My phone was rebooting itself too and I got a little worried. Then I had an epiphany that it was probably the silicone case. I removed the case for a day and no rebooting. So yes! That is exactly what it was. This phone is awesome! And it can be a portable hot spot!

  • Volumen down + Power Button at the same time! Hope it helps! :-)

  • any one fix it out how to screen shot work on blu life one thank

  • any one fix it out how to screen shot work on blu life one thank

  • Mine came with a gray silicon case. Check with the seller because it is supposed to

  • Amazing phone! I've bought a couple more for my Wife and brother. Pros: fast, great screen size and quality, good speaker/voice quality, feels like a solid phone, Comes with screen protector and case Cons: volume rocker/buttons rattle slightly, case has raised part by power button and the power button gets held down and powers phone on/off randomly. Overall worth the full money to not be carrier locked and signing 2 year agreement. Worked great with a new sim from a MVNO and saving me over $40/month for the same service.

  • Thanks remy. I've been searching on ebay for a couple of days and found them on ebay.in. My problem now is that I can't find a seller who has the Micromax Canvas 4 flip cover and also ships internationally.

  • you can find a case for this mobile from Indian mobile Micromax canvas 4 A210. Blu life one is the same like a copy of it by look, size and even features. look in ebay.com

  • Unboxing videos on youtube show the phone comes with a case. Mine didn't and my seller says that was how it came straight from the manufacturer. Now I need a case and can't find one anywhere. It does however come with a screen protector. Haven't used the phone for long but I'm loving it.

  • Amazon or you can go to Malaysia buy it on

  • Hi bro. Where did you buy this phone? I am looking to buy it in Singapore but no vendor is selling it :(

  • Blu Life One: This phone looks like Samsung Galaxy s4 and experience like HTC one. This is very Cheap and Best phone. Nice cameras (13MP and 5MP), it has dual slot for sim cards. It works for tMobile(Official) and AT & T (Personal). Now I dont need to carry 2 phones. It has latest OS 4.2 Jelly Bean which is not there in any most of the latest smart phones. Worth to buy it for $300

  • Does anyone successfully installed CWM on Blu life one?

  • Good phone run very fast on tmobile HSDPA+, good camera

  • Thanks for letting us know. Bought one myself.

  • Phone available on ebay now for 295 I just bought one

  • thank you for the advise, I just bought the tickets and I am flying to India tonigt so I can buy the canavas you mentioned.

  • Phone available on ebay now for 295 I just bought one

  • whose the oem? maybe get it cheaper direct from them

  • the same phone is available in india with micromax brand,model is canvas 4.

  • BLU and micromax both are having this phone from same OEM ( original equipment manufacturer) these two companies are not manufacturer companies.these two companies just pay money to an OEM,then ask them to print their logos on these phones and then sell those phones in their countries.you got it?

  • wtf it looks like micromax canvas 4...BLU is copying micromax..??Lol..

  • Well on the new bluproducts.com site, under the specifications, it says that the Life One does have an SD slot apart form the 16GB of internal storage. Under the Life View specs it doesn't mention the SD Slot, just the 16GB of internal storage. Pretty weird that they would leave the SD slot out of the Life View.

  • blu and micromax are making same mobiles... is it a same cmpny?

  • OK, I have an update. I've contacted Blu twice, once they said it does not support microSD the other email said it does. When I get home I'll upload pictures as proof, I apologize for my previous post which may or may not be accurate.

  • what??! but how did you know? the same thing happened with life view, i hope that is not true

  • really??! if that is true then it looks like that i'll just take the life play >_>

  • This phone does not support microSD cards, confirmed by Blu.

  • should be more fre on HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100

  • blu life one should have HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 for 4G

  • sometime in late September/early October

  • does anyone know when it will be available on amazon?? i'm tired of waiting :/

  • Its the Micromax Canvas 4 in India.

  • Yes its available.. But as micromax canvas 4

  • hello friends in this mobile have in india...pls any one tell me.

  • It says they would get it in 5-10 days. I assume that's business days. Counting today, it's been 12 business days since I ordered it. Soooo I don't know Haha

  • Me too. any idea when Expansys will be able to ship?

  • You can pre-order it at Negri electronics and Expansys. I already have one on order at Expansys. Expansys USA that is. Negri Electronics is charging way too much for this phone. Go with Expansys.

  • I emailed Etotalk, who are gonna sell this product and asked them when it will be available to buy coz it was listed as a presale. They emailed back and sed that it was a concept phone.

  • sooooo. can it be bought already? who wants to purchase it and find out?

  • oops i c it now lol. My apologies @YourManAdrian

  • I don't see anything about it being cancelled. The only thing it said was they had "inconveniences in the production of the final units" That hardly means it was cancelled. Plus, Expansys already has them for order, and I'm sure they are probably a little more accurately informed than you are.

  • BOOM. You're welcome.

  • i dont see it on the site nowhere. stop spreading lies.

  • The Life One is available for order at Expansys :)

  • micromax a brand in india is selling the same phone in the name of canvas 4

  • This product has been cancelled by BLU already. Read their facebook page.

  • You can buy this product online for $310 at: It can be sent to almost anywhere!!!

  • Where can we buy this, Is it available in the philippines?

  • Lolx this is china made just rebranded

  • blu phone is good.better them china phone

  • design is the same. perhaps compass sensor is not popular where this phone will be sold. therefore, mmx did not include this feature.

  • But Mmx 4 dont have compass sensor !

  • this phone announced in march 2013. micromax canvas 4 announced june 2013. therefore, mmx canvas 4 copied/rebranded this phone, plain and simple.

  • MMX not They yave copied dude !!! Their phone launched much a go They are phone manufacture and MMX is just a re-seller

  • U blody copy cat of micromax canvas 4.....

  • Looks like Micromax Canvas 4..

  • thats a phoneu shud buy

  • That's correct.

  • Its already available in INDIA ... Re-Branded as the Micromax Canvas 4... which is priced at 18000/-

  • This specific phone hasn't been released yet. I believe the release time frame for this model was at the end of July. And yes, It will work on AT&T and T-Mobile :) Depending on which model number you get :P

  • Nice prediction.. Canvas 4 is copy of blu lyf

  • Nvm it's unlocked with any carrier lol ... :x I was a bit cautious cuz of the high quality an low price. C: gettin it

  • So anyone have this phone? Does it work with an AT&T sim ? Looking for a new phone and for this price and specs. Well damn lol

  • No matter how much one tries to deny the fact that this isn't what the micromax canvas 4 is going to be, it really has an uncanny resemblance to the pictures posted on the canvas 4 prebooking website.

  • Lol... MMX Canvas 4 :D :P

  • TechDroid is having these details and I suspect them to be true, as rumours are coming that MediaTek is working on 2GHz Processor and TD is also reporting the same with some official leaked image with new Micromax UI.

  • BLU is an independent company it has nothing to do with micromax.

  • Micrmax is rebranding BLU Life One as Micromax Canvas 4.

  • Is blu products are available in bangladesh?

  • hi all. plz where can i bye this in ksa ? thanx to all

  • Hi, How you r saying the Micromax is not releasing the BLU Life One as canvas 4 in India . MMX always introducing the chinese phones only from day one onwards.

  • No.It is not.Micromax canvas 4 has home screen!!

  • Looks like Micromax is releasing the BLU Life One as canvas 4 in India!! check out the rebranded specs here the photos and specs are dead giveaways!!

  • Is the battery life really that good? Someone needs to check the talktime figures.

  • I hate that blu has us all on hold. The unfortunate thing is that nothing in this price range offers specs as good as this phone. They all lame with high price. this waiting truly sucks

  • I emailed them. This is what they emailed me. Hello, Thank you for your interest in BLU Products. Below are the updated dates in which our BLU Life Series should be released: *BLU Life Play (Mid June) *BLU Life View (Mid July) *BLU Life One (Late July) Unfortunately we do not sell directly from our website. The best option would be for you to purchase BLU online from one of our distributors: eBay: Amazon: Negri Electronics: Best regards,

  • been waiting for two months. Available? WHERE?!

  • U. S. A

  • it is a phone made in the united states there is a short video on youtube about it

  • I've read that Blu products tries to cater to central and southern american markets by offering a cheaper awesome option. Ive seen em in Mexico,Belize,el salvador,and columbia

  • Which country produce Bli phone ? China or ...?

  • is this smartphone available in Malaysia..?

  • Ive been waiting for this phone to be realeased.... is it really $299 only in hte market? the price is so cheap for the features of the phone.. ^-^

  • 5 mp front camarea is great adition

  • I haven't used this phone yet and I hope to get one soon,but from what I have read about this phone,if they are really true,this phone is going to be a sweet sensation to use.Infact,I love this phone!

  • Blu products don't usually get reviewed. If you do see a review its in Spanish and that i believe is due to the names they gave their earlier phones e.g. vivo. Now that the names are English we might see some reviews in future.

  • launch will be announced here

  • I am amaged still no review to this beautiful phone.What's the matter?why?plese plese plese give its its detailed description soon.

  • I am amaged still no review to this beautiful phone.What's the matter?why?plese plese plese give its its detailed description soon.

  • That's the blu life play there are 3 blu life phones. You are not looking at the correct model, that one you described is 229 it is the cheaper lower budget model being released. The life one is the flagship and the specs listed are correct.

  • All, I m interested to buy this whenever it launches.However m doubtfull abt the specifications.I can see there are differences in specifications of this phone on differnet wwebsite. I visited below site where it says it has 8mp main & 2 mp front cam.Also display size is 4.7 inches.anybody from Blu can confirm the exact specifications?

  • All of the BLU Life series phones are not due out til May, according to their FB page n twitter

  • Is the BLU Life One avaible in Italy???

  • I Think this mobile phone blue is awesome, & very good features in this price, in my opinion this phone world best budget smart phone, so why this phone not available in india ?

  • Why This Phone Not Available In India ?

  • Is the battery removable?

  • Is the battery removable?

  • On their facebook page, blu representatives stated it will be released in June/End of May... :(

  • oh man............... awesome festures for this price , i hope this wont be a crap.....................

  • well....check XDA developers and see. See how many blu phones are being developed. Check for other major brands and you'll see my point.

  • you can use custom rom.

  • where can i buy blu in the Philippines? or may be the proper question is, is it available in the Philippines?

  • where can i purchase in pakistan?

  • As far as my experiences with Blu, you do get good specs for little price but at a big cost. Meaning you will not get any quality or service updates that fix bugs which major brands do. This is a big deal because no new release of android is bug free.

  • Actually DLT is made in China like samsung And distribution is from Florida But BLU is an american brand

  • when launching in india

  • I am not sure about that. I did a search on BLU Vivo and Quattro, and Amazon say they can't ship to my default address (Europe). Maybe because the phones have "US warranty" so maybe this one could be different. I think they will available on ebay, though shipping will be expensive. Another option is to use a US forwarding service like shipito.com, buy it from Amazon then let the service send it to your home country.

  • I want 2 buy this phone.

  • its made in USA. Florida to be precise

  • dear Hamza u can buy it from amazon and them will send it to u but will be to expensive

  • I hope it will be available in Dubai

  • I really hope this company will make it. I really hate to see $700 phones, this is overpriced and over-hyped units. Indeed they are nice and I can't live without one anymore but I remember buying a CAR for $500 and all I had to do is $20 oil change. Good luck BLU !

  • Expecting soo much that this phone will be shipped to Brazil by Amazon... (yn)

  • Can I buy this mobile in Dubai, U.A.E.? please reply me.

  • Starting this April you can order them online at Amazon within the US. I think Amazon will ship them worldwide too but at a higher shipping prices.

  • hey brother,please is it available in India?

  • Is blu products available worldwide?

  • Thanks for the feedback. I'm sure that they have sorted out the mic by now as the 4.3 was their first high end smart phone. I like the gorilla glass on here and the bigger battery and better processor. Great value for money phone.

  • I use this phone mainly for calling and sms. I dont use the 3g, just wifi to access internet, no lag whatsoever. I have no problem with reception. The only problem i've experienced is the mic volume or audio sound quality. Ninety percent at a time when calling, the person receiving my call claims that either my voice is low, some says garbled or unable to understand me. This what happens only when calling using the phone mic itself. However, these problems can be prevented by using bluetooth headset when calling.

  • How is ur blu vivo 4.3? Reception as well as call quality? Is it lagging at all?

  • Wow stunning device. I was considering the vivo 4.65HD but this one is definitely better. Great job Blu. Keep up the product improvement

  • secondary cam : 5 mp lol

  • I want to know which country manufacture this phone ? Is'nt it china ?

  • I welcome BLU Unlocked GSM Phones, They will be a big name in handsets soon very soon...They make a nice product at a less price...On the retailer side more profit and on the end user side better pricing so more bang for your dollar...AWESOME JOB BLU!!!! I want this life One!!!!

  • wow! this is my upgrade phone from blu vivo 4.3.

  • 5 mp front camera? wowwwww

  • Very straight forward design.. Keep up BLU..
