BLU Life One M - User Reviews

  • Horrible phone. Camera doesn't zoom. Pre-loaded apps constantly trying to update and draining battery. ZERO customer support from Blu after two emails and a phone call. Doesn't live up to the hype. Save your money and get something that works. Mine quit working less than a year after I got it and the company won't even return my emails.

  • The phone is such a nice phone Please how can I replace the screen I've tried in so many places in most places the responce I get is that they don't have the screen.

  • No you can not and this is why this phone gets 2 stars. Don't bother getting a large memory card since you can't place app's on it

  • Everything works great but I cant get apps to go on SD card or pictures I take off Facebook. Can someone please tell me how to get stuff to the SD card?

  • it a very good phone .i like its front camera its wawo the only issue is you can not move the application to the SD-Card

  • 10 multi toch points

  • 10

  • Hey its not a copy of mmx canvas magnus, because BLU is making phones for mmxmmx all mmx are rebranded

  • Runs great on Straight Talk.

  • Where can I get another user manual? Also looking for a case. Thanks, [email protected]

  • use apps2sd

  • Why cant you move apps to sd card�??

  • has anyone used this phone for Straight Talk? If so, did you have an easy time doing it?

  • underrated phone. Blu should have stood behind it instead of quickly moving on to the Studio 5 HD

  • 10

  • Up to how much multi-touch points does this phone support?

  • About a cracked screen is better to forget it and get a new one cause it will coast you half a price of new one to change the screen. If it still works use it or get a new one but if you really want to change the cracked screen can buy the part online suppose ebay.

  • Does anyone know where I can get Primary camera for this phone to replace broken one? Thanks.

  • got this phone last month, working really fine but if fell on the floor two days ago the screen cracked and its not working anymore ... don't know how to get the screen to change please I need help

  • I inserted a 64 GB card and it is working fine for me.

  • Hi, I have had this phone for a while. No a bad one with its price. Try to have it with 2 year warranty. Does any body know how much memory it can support. Cause in its original specification says 32MB but here is 64MB . LEt me know please if you have any experience.

  • Thanks

  • search google how to get in the android recovery

  • Or better yet how do I fix the WiFi problem. I have to type in the IP address manually. I love the phone but this is the only problem I have so far with it. I need some help with this WiFi problem. It's annoying me now.

  • Where do you find recovery?? I'm having same problem with WiFi

  • its because you need to set it to 4:3 aspect ratio then you can set it to 12MP

  • Did you try fixing premmisions in recovery i had that problem too and it fixed it

  • I had this phone almost 1month. I don't know why. wifi is not working??

  • Had this phone for a week now ... so far its been great. No issues and the dual sim works great, power and responsiveness great too. Battery seemed short at first but I adjusted the settings (brightness etc...) and it is better. Best phone for the $$.

  • I love this phone. ! Had it 2 months now no problem. Battery may die fast deppends on what apps u have n using. Camera is awesome. It's a strong phone fell several times an no problems *fingers cross* u can't move apps to sd card unless it's an apk file I think. It has a led indicator. Feels great in the hand. Battery cover is strong so it don't fly out if fall. Screen quality is nice n clear. It's like an galaxy. No regrets will reccomded it! ☺

  • Yes it is I just bought one yesterday from metro PCs and if u go in settings then storage it will either have phone or SD and u pick SD or it will have a section at the top that says preferred location to store apps hit that and it will give u 3 options then you can choose SD card .....OK have a great day

  • No....this version of Android will not allow moving apps to sd card.

  • Great phone for the value

  • This phone is excellent for someone who does not have the money to buy a 700 dollar phone. Paid 160 on Walmart and love it. Cameras great and very fast compared to my old HTC and three of my htcs were sold for parts. Glad I purchase d.

  • I buy it but can this phone sent the app to sdcard like others blu because this is not tranfers or theres an option that can transfer please help

  • On seeing current market, no one would recommend you this phone. Today, many new phones are there with better specifications. If you live in India, then Micromax and XOLO phones should be best deal for you!

  • are the l131u and l131l the same size?

  • how is phone

  • If you play games and videos for more than a half hour, then yes.

  • pls does this phone have heating problem

  • Absolutely no, Micromax has released Micromax Canvas Magnus before this phone. And this phone is just copy of the Canvas Magnus, at least I couldn't find any difference between these phones.

  • Actually, BLU Life One M is just a copy of Micromax Canvas Magnus A117, even Micromax Canvas Magnus has been released few months before this phone. So, there is no need to think about who is copying. By the way, Micromax Canvas Magnus would be better choice in compare to this phone. -- Akash

  • Are the two signal bars always visible ? Even if i will only use one sim ?

  • You must go into camera settings and adjust the preview size to standard(4:3). Once you change the preview size, you'll have the option to select/change picture size.

  • its just a rebranded micromax canvas HD

  • Heres a review I just uploaded of the Life One M Theres also an unboxing vid on my channel

  • My Blu Life One M says 1.3 Ghz on the box and despite saying 12MP on the Device, the camera only lets me choose 1, 4, or 6 MP

  • You can purchase on E-Bay.com. I have had the phone for a week. And for the price it is great.

  • micromax and gionee are copying blu

  • micromax and gionee are copying blu

  • every blu mobile is copied through the design and specs of canvas turbo & magnus and gionee elife e6 and e3 ur good copycat reaalllllly

  • OMG (o_o) your absolutely right!
