BLU Neo 4.5 - User Reviews

  • I have had this phone for 2 years and it's been great. A teenie bit slow on certain apps but the price was right and it still works perfect.

  • I too have Blu Neo 4.5 i had for over 18 months and it still works great i also have google voice on it plus 3 other phone lines installed on it best phone i have ever owned

  • DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE. I guarantee you will be disappointed. THIS IS BY FAR the worse phone I have ever bought in my life. Extremely slow and long app delay times, issues connecting to wifi, short battery life, storage sucks. Basic functions is like torture for this phone. Pure waste of money and learning experience to never go cheaper and to stick with the big brands.

  • How do you restore your system camera on a Blue Neo 4.5 if it was accidentally root uninstalled

  • I find my blu neo 4.5 works great i had it for 10 months an it still great i even have Google voice on it

  • I recently found out Blu are a generic cel phone. Same phone as Micromax and Meitu -Blu Selfie is same as Meitus MK260. This clears us why so many models, so many bad owner reports, and so hard to find a quality cel made by them. Stick with a real phone company, and pay more, wait for reductions, or buy used from a careful owner!

  • Bought mine in July 2015. Hight quality camera - it is the sensors that are important not the megapixels number. However, could not upgrade to android 4.4, without risk of bricking the phone. As do not use internet to avoid viruses and malware, advised not to bother with ant- virus. Last week screwed with ´shendun´/ ´hummingbird´ malware. cannot be uninstalled without risking bricking the phone. Maleware was hidden in the update for the few apps I have. I blame google play, also condemned by others for source of viruses and malware. Have ordered MICROSOFT 640XL, on offer under $100, after doing my research. Microsoft may still be catching up, but they are big enough to beat Android, eventually, Windows laptop is 8 years old, and I will never buy an android phone again.

  • I cannot answer incoming calls when its rinign .the call log disappear or was deleted. Can you help me to locate the call log.

  • My Phone Neo 4.5 don't use stockage Mass USB why????

  • Mines as well now I can't even find my camera nowhere in apps nothing I've look true my hold phone plz help

  • I can deal with this, but the camera's bad, the wifi slow, there's absolutely no storage because of the stupid miscellaneous files, runs out of batteries quickly, slow and laggy reaction time, the leaning sensors sometimes don't work. That's just to name a few.

  • where is the music icon? how do I find music? help me pleaseeee!!!

  • You may have too many apps running on it. Open task manager by holding your finger on the middle, home button and end task on those apps, than restart your Neo. We have this phone and has no issues. If you buy one now it'll most likely ship with android KitKat..

  • that is so not true once u down load too much app @ 1 time then it will be slow as for me mines works just fine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ************************ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BLU FUH LIFE

  • Mine as well how do you fix it

  • I honestly think this is the worst phone I can't even connect to the internet the camera is bad and most of the apps you cant even use

  • This is honestly the worst phone i have ever purchased the camera itself is extremely horrible i cant even take a decent photo the front camera is UP CLOSE and blurry very disappointing. The phone is very slow and you can barely download any apps without it quickly being low on storage the entire phone is trash

  • Can't make blue tooth connection with my car. Tried a number of times ; get 'connection failed' message every time.

  • Mine too. Have you found any solution?

  • my phone keeps on cutting off when i turn it on.what can i do?

  • my phone is not coming up when on.

  • I completely agree with you unless it's daytime and I'm outside the picture quality is poor. My phone the battery runs down too fast. It could be at 100% and as soon as I unlock it it's at 98%

  • if you have your proof/receipt that you bought it, take it back and tell them to fix it or give you a new one cause its obviously not working. or demand your money back.

  • i use net10 , but my phones is working on at&t towers. the only problem i had at first was i could not get mobile net work to operate.all i had to do was go to settings and mobile setting then to apn - access point names and change the settings to comply with network. then it worked fine. this is what you must do to unlocked phone. at&t should be able to help you with this if you call customer service.

  • I purchased 2 of these for my wife and I to connect to Net10 Wireless service through AT&T. Net10 is a great service and I haven't had a single issue with them in the 5 months we've been using them. The phone however is a piece of junk. The phone comes in a nice box and includes a screen protector and a flexible shell case. both interfere with the touch responsiveness. I experimented for a week with everything on, then with the screen protector off, and finally with the case off. it is better without the case and protector, but not by much. you can adjust the sensitivity/responsiveness of the touch screen but in both extremes and adjusting little by little I could never get either phone to respond better to touch. I contacted best buy who then passed me on to BLU support which sad to say is completely worthless. they couldn't understand what I was telling them through e-mail or over the phone. they kept having me wipe the phone and set it up again. (after the 5th time doing it, I started flat out refusing to) after 3 weeks of bugging them, they finally agreed to replace the phone, but wanted me to send it to them and wait up to 2 weeks to get a replacement. they are supposedly based out of Florida, and even after offering to have them fedex it out to me on my dime, they still could only guarantee it by 2 weeks. I basically gave up and they were fine with that and haven't heard from them since that time. We decided to suffer through the phones for a bit but then switched them out for Samsung Galaxy phones. I wanted so badly to like BLU, and was even rooting for them, but in the end, even if their more expensive phones are more responsive, I doubt I'll ever give them another try.

  • Yes, I agree with a lot of people here, good for its price, does a very good job of trying to keep up with smart phones. If all you will do is make calls and text, then it shouldn't bee too bad. The touch screen on this phone can sometimes be unresponsive, and the 512 MB of ram doesn't help it, just makes it slightly worse. Other then that, its functional, just. (I've had this phone for about 4 months)

  • Signal is on & off

  • My picture memory isn't working at all and it's hard to download anything .I have called different peoples about this problems they it's because noe don't tells you.you're lose things when you uses bring your own phone. Bad businesses.

  • This is the first smartphone I have owned so I am a steep learning curve with it. I have had it for about a month and so far it has been able to meet my needed. I have read many reviews of various phones but I just do not understand what make a $500 phone better then this $100 phone. Yes other phones have better camera and flash. Just list a few basic thing that the expensive phone does a lot better. No need to get carried away.

  • Is there a way to get the videos to be in alphabetical order? When I open up the video list it seems to be in a random order. I looked to see if their was menu for it but nothing comes up.

  • I had that same problem but it eventually just went away but now everytime I go to use the phone whether they answer or don't answer it vibrates and when they do answer it stays on for 2 seconds and just hangs up do you have any advice or can you help me with this little problem....plz n thanku

  • Why all of a sudden my memory card isn't reading....and there is an error message coming up. Can someone tell me.

  • in short - it sucks. #1. Cannot stay connected to my wifi router #2. upon reboot, connects to wifi, then loses connection and will NOT connect #3. Poor touch-screen performance. But it looks nice - the hell with its looks.

  • Mine works but I hate the touch screen. The first one had issues when you push the send button for sms. This one is better but has issues with lag on incoming calls to show on the screen. Volume goes go silent out of nowhere, or find it in my pocket dialing others or the camera is on. Its weird, has a mind of its on. The mobile itself works fine besides those issues.

  • Hey I bought this phone 2 months ago it worked perfectly but then all of the sudden it started to not load my pictures or photos what ever, it says "no thumbnail" something like that it says that on each photo. If some one can help me contact me on Facebook search for me with my email which is [email protected]

  • This is my first cell phone. Two questions: Where is the "end" button when you make a call. Tried to make a call and ended up hitting power button to shut off to stop spending sim card? Second: How do you edit the contacts once you get them in. I don't see any edit option? Thank you.

  • It has a VGA front camera.

  • yes I know Kit Kat is available but on the Neo 4.5 you have to have a memory card to download it my phone is not recognizing and I even have an SD card in it I have one in it trying to figure out why its not recognizing it

  • I had originally purchase use samsung galaxy 2but all I had was major problems with the phone because being over 2 years oldso they switched me out when this blue Nero 4.5.they only gave me one SIM card in slot 1. I put in in a gig memory cardbut for some reason within a week roughly I open up the phone to make a call and I know this some of my apps are missing.?not technically we're not really missing what did happen is it the top of my screen I have to signal bars like for two separate lines or two separate phone numbersso I have two bars at the top of my screen one is reading Zero no bars totally black the other one is lit up with all of ours of signal I do not know why the phone decided to switch to the different wine and I can not figure out how get one of the bars off the top of the screen or another words I just need one line now not too taking up space in the top of my screen anybody out there have any opinion on this I might be able to help me and be highly appreciated thank you

  • yes

  • kitkat has been released for this phone and is running ok. it is a good phone for the first time smartphone user.

  • I got this phone for my son yesterday and it kept turning off after ever call or when it felt like it. But it did a up date lastnight and it seem to be ok.so so far so good.

  • it's probably because you added an SD memory after taking the photos, just plug it into a pc and take them out

  • I just got a 4.5 nice phone. But accidently I lost all my pictures . Can you tell what to do ?

  • hello sir or ma,good day am bamitee my daddy bouth this phone from usa and i try to use the internet with it he did not work what can i do pls u can send the setting to [email protected] oe bamitefa tunde on facebook. thans

  • They just needed to change the APN, as mentioned earlier. The idea of unlocked phones is not really welcomed by US carriers,

  • I got one recently and it is a workable phone for under $120. I managed to connect to T-mobile network with no issues. Just remember to switch the APN(access point names) to T-mobile before you try to connect to the internet with the data plan. Camera is not as good but I don't buy the phone for taking pictures. Overall, good value because it comes with a cover, ear bud headphones, wall charger, cable and screen protector. You need to provide your own micro sd card though to get extra memory.

  • Purchased a NEO 4.5 4G from Best Buy and took it to an AT&T store. They tried 3 different SIMs, and gave it back saying they could not connect. Called AT&T, they said they will only guarantee connectivity on AT&T-branded phones, regardless that the specs from Blu say otherwise. Caveat emptor.

  • Great Phone for $109 on Amazon

  • I just got one from Metro PCS $ it's ok.There's no LED message notification and will only charge with the supplied charger.

  • i have them how many would you like

  • Hey Tabou, the NEO 4.5 is not out on the market yet. Troll much?

  • I had recently purchased a double sims Blu Neo 4.5, I had only used it for a week and after I could not access to the functions, the screen shows only : Urgent calls. I switch off several times with no avail. I do not know what to do to resume to the screen functions
