  • how to activate and how to remove guest access or belkin.dc0 wifi.It is not my wifi.

  • Very disappointed when I discovered the phone didn't really have 32gb of storage. I don't know how they got away with false advertisement like that. Really only has about 6gb of free space, which is not a lot. The rest is not usuable.

  • I bought this phone in 2014 (black) it was a great phone everyone loved it said it looks like an iphone haven't had any problems until my memory was low how could that be I have 32gb storage !!!! stueps I was upset only to find out that the 32 gb was shared between internal storage and phone storage I had lots of space in my phone storage what was full was the internal storage ( which had least amount storage ) the only apps on my phone at the time was Facebook, amazon, yahoo mail, whats app and waze! I had to delete the amazon, waze and whats app to free up some space now I have to use the factory installed whats app on the phone other than that phone works great !!!!

  • I have the life pure mini for 2 months now. I loooove this phone! It's the best I've ever had! BUT yesterday it stopped working from one second to another. Jut like that. For no reason. It is simply dead and I don't know what to do. I live in Germany by the way.. Any help?

  • Does it support 3G on some carrier in U.S.? Who used? Weird, I see controversal info regarding 3G bands support. Sometime I see dual bands for U.S. and for Europe in different models, sometimes I see like support of 3 frequencies (excluding 900MHz)...

  • If you are still having the issue with the downloading at the top, try going to the app manager, on the settings, scroll from right to left until you get to all and look for the download manager or download, clear the data and force stop it, that should solve the issue

  • Offline speech recognition has been downloading on my phone for the past 3 days. i have no clue how to stop it. it is irritating. What do I do to stop it?

  • No it doesn't. Pls read specifications.

  • How do I change my cracked screen?

  • Ok, looks like the Mediatek MT6589T isn't going to get KitKat, even though other Mediatek processors are. Sucks. But it's still possible they'll refresh the line with an LTE/KitKat-capable chipset, like the Snapdragon 400, which is really about the same level as the Mediatek. Have to wait and see.

  • Didn't some phones with mediatek chips get KitKat already? Why leave out the Life Pure line unless you have something else planned? Also, the CEO said in an interview a few months back that they'd have a line of LTE phones in the Fall. Haven't seen anything yet, but I'm sticking to my theory until I see their new phones, my guess, sometime this quarter. That said, it might be 2015 before anything is actually available. One more thought--notice how the price of the life pure and life pure mini dropped over the last few months. That usually happens before an upgrade cycle. we'll see, I guess.

  • I've had this phone for about 2 months now and I'm pretty much convinced they said eff it and trashed the update idea. It's a mediatek chip and they rarely get updated from what I've seen on countless forums. It would be cool and very much welcomed but I'm not holding my breath. Also an update wouldn't simply magically enable lte capability. Using mine on t-mobile (Simple Mobile) and I get on average 8 down and 2 up. Gets the job done.

  • Doesn't strike everyone as odd that almost the entire BLU product has gotten the KitKat update EXCEPT the Life Pure and the Life Pure Mini. These are two to the best phones in the BLU lineup. I have a suspicion that during Q4, these two phones, and maybe others, will receive a more substantial update, including LTE, an upgraded processor, and a UI refresh. The company that makes this UI has released V2; it's similar but a few nice tweaks. Lookout for an announcement by late November, the latest. Just a hunch, but realistic.

  • I was going to buy this phone, then i realized that it has no card slot,just 32 gb internal memory and i know you won't be able to access all of it,maybe about 29 gb. Plus it doesn't have removable battery, rubbish phone in my opinion.Not going to waste my $$$on this.

  • When will the BLU Life Pure be upgradable to kit kat?

  • Hold powerbutton and volume down button in together.

  • How do you screenshot with the blu life puré mini

  • this is what were going threw with a phone call we cant hear unless you have on speaker or have head phones hook up too it is possible the tmoble carrer

  • Hi what do you know about the pain patch by FGXpress?

  • The speed is good, 3g network digicel jamaica, the phone works great,two drawbacks, there is no home page all app are up on the screen and you scroll from side to side or different screens. that makes it extremely lame because you would want home screens to then put up ur apps. instead of all of them being up. secondly it doesn't come with a swpye option for typing msgs. the google voice option is there but that reduces your privacy...

  • It will work with digicel, I have the blu dash 4.5 d310i and I'm from Jamaica. Digicel use 850 mhz for thirst their 3g signal same for lime so fret not

  • I'm in Belgium and My 3G network its not working. How can I change de network configurations in my BLU Life pure to access the 3G network? thanks! SL

  • Blu life play works on the digicel in the Caribbean

  • Hey Guys, I am in Jamaica and I am planning on purchasing either the Blu Life Pure or the Blu Life Pure XL, my question is will either of them work on our DigiCel network here? DigiCel is a GSM Network, I know not all GSM cell phone will work on our GSM network here in Jamaica.

  • it can work in india or not

  • Will this American model work in India??? If I buy it from USA ...???

  • I love these blu phones. They are really doing agreat job with the design and specs for the pricing. I have purchased 3 of these phones and seem to be working well. My comment for this forum is concerning the questions about the 1700 mhz. I have done extensive research on this and have only purchased the 3 or 4 models that blue makes that have the 1700 mhz. This life pure or the xl does not. However keep in mind t mobile or any that uses t mobile towers can in fact use a phone if it has the 1900 mhz band since t mobile is currently updating that band to 4g speeds. They say it should be completely done by early 2015. Having said that I have a galaxy mega also that does not have the 1700mhz band but does have he 1900 mhz band and all of a sudden last week when I had very poor even no signal at my house now all of a sudden I have 4g speeds. This leads me to believe that the 1900 mhz band upgrade to 4g speeds is well under way at this point and working great. So if you are looking to but one of these fantastic phones, with the 1900 band upgrades if ur using t mobile or any of its under carriers , u should be good to go.

  • this message is for all the people out there.Gionee is the ODM for all these phones.this is just Gionee Elife E6 phone rebranded by BLU.Gionee Elife E6 also available in different countries with different names.all these companies are re branding Gionee Elife E6 phone.

  • Definitible blu becomes with new stylsh new models combined with hardware and price, but it seem to me in order to achive those parameters blu are missing important hardware parts that led him to be a good competitor form other unlocked cellphone providers - no card slot - no battery interchangueable this are important parts that the final and comon user user are lookng for buy best mobilephone, hope on Future, some new models implement this important hardaware parts

  • Actualy i think BLUE is the mother company...Not Gionee,Allview or eny other rebrands

  • Looks pretty good,nice specs.I'm getting one

  • Looks pretty good,nice specs.I'm getting one

  • Looks pretty good,nice specs.I'm getting one

  • this mobile is awosome

  • In Romania this phone is Allview X1 Soul :)

  • In indonesia this phone is polytron prime 5

  • You obviously aren't aware that BLU doesn't actually make these phones. This is a re-branded Gionee Elife E6. All of their phones are just re-branded phones. Also, the Life Play and Life One both have SD slots.

  • Great phone , a phone that is build to last.

  • I just don't understand why BLU keeps on making great smartphones with no MicroSD cards slots. Its just STUPID in my opinion.

  • The Guy on Droid life does not know what he is doing with the phone in that video and if you read his little write up he actually says its really nice to use.

  • in bangladesh,same mobile is sell by walton and its known as walton primo x2,in Pakistan its known as Qmobile z4,In India Gionee Elite E6 and here is Blu Life Pure........... walton primo x2 configaration link

  • In Romania is Allwiew X1 Soul. Best regards.

  • I dont understand what chinese are doing?? This mobile in Pakistan Qmobile z4 In India Gionee Elite E6 and here is Blu Life Pure,, Wht the hell

  • It is the Gionee. They rebranded it to Blu.

  • just like iphone nice phone

  • is this BLU phones copying designs or imitations of other phone units like S4 and iPhone's

  • kinda look like iphone ,but i aint even mad.

  • this is the copy of gionee elife e6.same looks and exactly same features. Blu have copied gionee elife e3 for their blu life play

  • its gionee elife e6 rebranded..

  • hi where i can find this mobile in abu dhai - uae. thank you

  • Theres a youtube video on this phone (by droid life) and honestly its really below average. Display is really really below par. Battery life weak too

  • this device is walton primo x2 in Bangladesh. wow cool

  • I don't think so.

  • Really compliments for blu for this very good smartphone!!Well done and keep it up!(And an extra compliment,for the 5MP front camera!)but on the other hand,for a heavy user like me,it doesn't make sense a non replaceable battery! And I hope that galaxy S5 will b absolutely removable back!!!!

  • This is Polytron Prime 5 in Indonesia exact model and spec, wow, so many brand adopt this model, beautiful design tho

  • This is Allview X1 Soul in Romania.

  • Thanks Apple iPhone for inspiring all mobile makers to adopt apple innovations.... unibody design

  • I can't believe, after reading all these marvelous specs,to end up with this anemic battery, while they put a 2600 mAh battery in the Life View ( I have it in hand), which is little less config. than this Pure ??? I wish if that 2020 mAh is just a print mistake.

  • Allview X1 Soul -> in Romania

  • Yes, it is Gionee Elife E6. The same case as BLU Life Play = Gionee Elife E3.

  • But that device has a 16 MP camera, and this only 13 MP.

  • Only 2000 mAh of battery? Oh come on! I know BLU is not a huge mobile phone maker company, but that small battery will make lot of people to not buy it.

  • That is QMobile Quatro Z4 in Pakistan and Gionee Elife E6 in India..

  • This is Gionee E6.

  • Would like to see this phone as dual sim as most blu product phones are.

  • Yeah it looks like it

  • This device is the Gionee ELIFE E6.

  • This device has the exact specs on the Gionee ELIFE E6. it seems to be running the Gionee custom Rom Amigo OS for Andriod. I personally believe Gionee should be listed on GSMARENA. Might I add this device has a unibody design as well.

  • Very well built smartphone,but it really shows how much the designer is in deep love with iPhone,especially white iPhone 5 running iOS7!lol!

  • Looks a little bit like what an iphone and androids lovechild would be :-)

  • M I the only one who thinks it's gionee Elife E6?

  • As you the handset is target at mid range users who don't really want a Samsung galaxy s3,s4 or note but a devices that will do great with its 1.5GHZ processors ,1080p display and a 13mp camera. Which is very rare in low end devices such as Motorola's moto g and so on.

  • As the tech moves forward we need a better battery life And for an example Snapdragon 805 is the best choice at the moment because it's the smallest and the most efficient

  • which store will it be AVAILABLE, i want to get my hands hold of it

  • Yep it's also comes with amigo ui

  • The color of the background almost looks like an iOS 7

  • In what way does the chip set fail? Just curious.

  • It's all good until it comes to the chipset it fails :/

  • Battery small for a 5.0 display.. other specs are pretty ok tought. no sd slot is bad, but 32 gb internal makes it acceptable

  • its typically a ginonee elife E6 and on benchmarking its even lower than Sony Xperia SP and MoTo G

  • yes you are right bro, its a rebranded gionee elife e6

  • basically a rebranded gionee elife e6

  • Great phone but no sd card slot
