BLU Studio 5.5 S - User Reviews

  • I mistakenly ordered the 5.5 S - I thought I was getting the original 5.5 Studio, which I loved the features and eventually my carrier figured out how to programs it!!! I hate this slim version, it's awful. (I was in a crunch for a phone, and did not take the time to be sure I was getting the same one. It was the only form of communication I had.

  • Phone's network is very bad. Screen also refuse to respond

  • This phone doesn't stand a chance

  • phone fail to turn on

  • My phone is not open source so only show blu is why?

  • I need Blu S8321 flash file ....thankyou?

  • Plz I seriously need a help,myblu studio 6.0 HD has power problem it doesn't were can I repair it bcos I've takn it2 somany places but the couldn't find d parts so were do I take it to plz?

  • Yea blu's customer service is horrible. Worst in the industry i would say. If u are lucky enough to get a response from them, they are rude as hell. But most of the time u will not get a response. I will never buy another blu phone again. And ill stop as many people as possible from buying their phones as well.

  • My 3g is not working, it freezes all da time internet very slow please help me e-mail [email protected]

  • I've had this phone for about a year and a half, and it has been a good phone for me considering how cheep it was, but i would not recommend it if you can afford a better phone. It currently has a lot of technical glitches, freezing on me, screen not responding sometimes, and issues with saying my storage is full when it isn't. I haven't had any cosmetic issues, and it looks just like new, but with the issues i have faced i would advise to not purchase this phone unless you're on a very tight budget

  • look for mtk engineering mode , its an app on play store and enter your imei manually

  • how do i repair my imei and no signal on my blu studio 5.5 s

  • Can I upgrade my blu studio 5.5s to kitkat

  • My phone screen keeps freezing in certain spots. I can't put in my password because my phone is frozen where the key I need to use is. This isn't the first time it has done this either. It has happened many times before this and this phone continues to be a hassle for me and my sister. I DO NOT recommend this phone for anyone who would like to purchase it. It breaks within the first couple months of having it and is not worth it.

  • please help me. i have deleted my phone.apk and i dont know how to fix it. please do send me a phone.apk please. thanks. here's my gmail acct. [email protected]

  • above the battery

  • sorry! there are 2 sim sizes standard and micro.

  • I have used this phone for 10 months. Several relatives also own one. Only problem is after 8-10 hour of constant use you will have to reboot or turn off for a few seconds and turn back on. I have had to remove and reinstall the battery 3 times. I have spoken to iPhone and other phone users who have have had to do the same. I love this phone. $179.

  • Someone knows if this cel is compatible with smartwatch samsung galaxy gear model sm-v700? I appreciate very much any comment about.Txs

  • Ofcouse..i've been using this fone for 8months now and i habe nor regrets...jus dat I've been using other blu charger and now my battery seems wrecked...

  • I am not getting 3G connection why

  • Please tell me how I can get h+ 3g on tellnor sim

  • This phone is terrible. After using it for a few days I had struggle trying to type on the keyboard. The touch screen is terrible and the front camera is not good at all. If you want to get a better phone that is the same price I recommend just getting the upgraded BLU phones. BTW this phone is huge. I would say around the size of the iphone 6 plus but way heavier. This phone will not fit in your pocket and you will only be able to hold it with both your hands.

  • Original blu chargers to Stutido 5.5 and dash 4.5 doesnt work. im using sansung and nokia chargers. maybe the blu chargers can even damage your battery.

  • micro sd

  • use a charger without usb. the original nokia nas sansung charger work great. Blu chargers i bought 2 was shit

  • viruz?

  • The charger that comes with the studio 5.5 s and Dash 4.5 don't work very well. Im using sansung galaxy and nokia n97 chargers - work great. I think that the original blu charger can even damage your battery.

  • yes you can take it out

  • I THINK I FIXED SLOW INTERNET ISSUE!! I am on Cricket (now owned by At&t) and I have a small sim card in the #2 slot. I was getting H+ but it was super duper slow....unresponsive. So, here is what I did...go to settings, click the MORE tab, then click on MOBILE NETWORKS, then click on ACCESS POINT NAMES, it WAS checked WAP, I instead checked BROADBAND and WALA I think I fixed it. Internet is BLAZING NOW!! Hope this helped someone else, cause I searched the internet high and low and couldn't figure it out! I am just soo smart (pat on the back as I laugh at myself).

  • ?? I JUST got this phone (I am on At&t network in Illinois)...I am using the SIM 2 slot (smaller slot). On WIFI it FLIES, but as soon as I take wifi off it goes between H+ and H constantly. So, videos freeze ect. And today I drove about an hour from home and had some G (kept timing connection out) from 10 minutes away from my home til I got back. What's up?? Can ANYONE help PLEASE!!!! I LOVE this phone other than that and want to keep!!

  • Where is the sim card slot

  • Nevermind

  • Yes you can get to the battery and take the back off and I'm replying to you from one right now :)

  • I bought this phone in U.S. and using in India. the problem is I am not getting 3G, though I have 3G network and also I have changed the settings and enable the 3G mode. On the display it shows "E". I have inserted the sim in SIM1 still not getting 3G. Please help me with any solution.

  • The problem i am having is that the phone only charge when it is turn off. It would charge when it is turn on. i need help.

  • i have a complent on my blu 5.5 studio love the phone but come to download apps it say that i dont have insufficient space on the device went and brought a 36mb and it say it dont have space i only have 10 apps on the device then i go to application error it says unfortunately app has stop what could i do ( i love my phone dont want to give it up )

  • Working good so hard it for about a month now only sometimes have to do a battery pull

  • Yes it does. You have to change the apn settings..

  • To open the metal tap for the SD card you have to push it up to unlock it then drop the card in. Close the metal tap and slide it down to lock it.

  • To Alex.. I did the exact same thing.. And I love the phone.. Getting the two year plane at Walmart.. You have the phone cover. If anything goes wrong.. Buy the phone at Walmart Web site.. Gave me the option to purchase the two year care plan for $32

  • Get a micro SD card like a 32gb or up to 64gb. And install it. Then go to settings and on storage. You have two options phone storage and SD card. Click on SD card. Now everything you download goes to SD card not phone memory. Even all the pictures you take too

  • Erghhhh same problem don't no what to do

  • True my phone screen to����its not working ...it suc badly....;@

  • Yes but I had to call my phone company to even get pictures and I still cannot recieve pictures!!

  • I have had this phone less than a year and I am beginning to strongly dislike it. The screen dims and brightens on its own, and has for months. Within the past three weeks it started randomly vibrating on its own like an old washing machine. Then it interrupts whatever I'm doing on it with a screenful of supposedly open apps. About the only thing that stops it is removing the battery. If Blu has tech support, they don't make a point of advertising it. It seems they're just interested in cashing in on selling a phone without providing customer support. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.

  • Takes both sim sizes... micro sim & normal sim

  • U should be able to send pikz check your apn settings.

  • Excellent phone accordingly to the price.

  • I bought mine off Amazon and it came with a manual. The manual doesn't really help much though, do you have any specific questions?

  • I have had my blue studio 5.5 for 2 yrs and I love it..had no major problems. I just need to recalabrate my key board and don't know how? So if anyone knows how please let me know

  • Hi. I ordered the blue studio 5.5 s on Walmart.com and I am using it with no problem with and at&t sim. I am getting HSPA plus with good signal and good speed. I am only using sim card #2 I did not tried sim one slot.

  • I bought the phone to use with Straight talk and got the new sim card for phone opted to get it for Att everything on the phone works great except the 2g. the only time it will go on line is when it is near wifi.

  • Sorry don't know much about the phone but if it's 4gb internal memory then yes you would only be able to use 2gb as other 2 is in use by the OS. and that's true for any phone.

  • I can't send me pics neither. Guess were not able too.

  • Phone didn't come with a sim card. What size sim card does the phone take?

  • Bought the phone on recommendation. Who would ever think there woldnt be a Manuel included or on line. Correct me if I am wrong but I can't find one. Would like to get some HSE out if phone. Doubt I'll even get an answer..will never get back here again.... Happens often

  • Yea. I had to reboot the phone whenever this happen. I tried sending pics thru whatsapp and it wasn't going thru, but when I reboot it helped. Also since I downloaded two apps (antivirus and nq booster) the problem has vanished.

  • Can I use a Samsung sd card with this phone?

  • I bought the blu studio 5.5s with 4gig but when I really check the memory it's saying 2gig. How can I get it to have the 4gig as it's stated on the box and manual?

  • I can't send any Picts, is anybody had this problems

  • I can't send any Picts, is anybody had this problems

  • Overall the phone is good but the front camera is not good

  • great feel but only has 2GB of memory not 4GB which is a draw back for me mine was bought on amazon

  • Things that will impress the most about this phone is the picture quality (both cameras) and battery life. Really good device.

  • My phone recently start acting up, its freezing and controlling it self, I have to power off every 20 mins sometimes. Its frustrating! Anybody having this issue?

  • Tips on prolonging battery life. 1. Lower down the brightness of the phone. The higher the brightness the more power in consumes. 2. Set the auto lock to 15 seconds. If your not using the phone, it's not ideal if the phone is still on for 1 minute. It will eat up the power of the battery. 3. Force stop apps that you are not using anymore. Like for example games. Even though, you've closed the game. It is still running. Go to app manager to make sure that the app is not running. If it is still running Force stop it. Cause if it is still running the processor is still working. And if the work load of the processor is heavy it consumes more power or energy. Hope this helps.

  • Does this phone have a good front camera? Im a fan of taking selfies i dont q ant a suckie front camera can you guys please answer me as soon as possible

  • Hello Alex, I'm glad that you haven't had any problems. I have a question for you, I also bought a studio 5.5s and have a memory card for it. Im having a problem, when I try to downlown any app, I tells me that it doesn't have insufficient space. Is there something that I should do or change?

  • Bought this phone two months ago for use on tmobile and have had absolutely no issues at all. In fact everyone who sees me ask if its a samsung and i say yes and nobody has noticed it is not. I bought a 32 sd card and currently have dowloaded at least 25 apps/games and i have used about 5gb on the sd card. I still have plenty of space on my internal storage. I have dowloaded high graphic games to test the system and everything runs smooth. Asphalt 8 was a game a previos comment mention would notplay but that was incorrect. Great phone great price, i bought the 2 year replacement warranty for 30 @ walmart. Very happy with the phone.

  • dont ever but this phone its ok at the beginning but after a month it starts to act like crap ,so slow, the touch screen has gone really bad ,works %45 of the time i just wasted my money , its better to save money and spend on any other brand name phone ,

  • how to enable the data for this phone?

  • The phone will simply run on 3G. It only runs on 2G .

  • probably cause you ran out of battery

  • My keypad will not pop up when i try to use it on kik messenger. any buttons close the the space bar (including the space bar) will not work when i try to send messages. i need helppp !!

  • BLU is the best, seriously?!?! They are horrible!

  • If you break the door your warranty is VOIDED!

  • Who designs an sd card slot like that?! Crazy damn design!

  • Anyone have issue with the 5.5s battery being sucked dry by "idle" and "standby"--mine are at 50% each and the phone is basically not able to be used. I have fought and fought with BLU and they have finally relented and had me mail it back to check and see what is wrong with it. I will not be surprised at all if I receive the phone back and they tell me everything is normal. NOTE of warning to other BLU phone buyers/owners--customer service told me that if you get a scratch on the phone (they didn't specify where) your warranty is VOIDED. Who buys a phone from a company like that. They are a horrible company to deal with. If I had known what the company was like I would never have spent my hard earned money on one of their phones.

  • The BLU Studio 5.5 S (as is true for most if not all BLU phones) is GSM - as opposed to CDMA (like Verizon and Sprint). If Boost Mobile is CDMA, then no, you cannot use this phone with that service. You need to use a GSM provider like AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.

  • I jst got a blu studio 5.5s and i was wondering if you can use it for a boost mobile pre paid plane cause noone herd of it when they try find it

  • I have the blu studio 5.5s but mi screen is cracked where can I order or take the phone to fix it...where can I orer a screen

  • can anybody tell me why i turned my blu 5.5 off meaning power now it wont turn back on

  • You gave to be rooted to move them to the SD!

  • Go to ebay and look up 2 in one scillicone case for blu studio 5.5s and you should find one for no more than $10 but there is only 2 cases for this phone on ebay that aren't flipcases.

  • When you recorded did it have sound?? Mines doesn't

  • May I ask why u had so many?? Did they only last for a small amount of time??

  • I finally got the SD card in and the door reclosed but my phone isn't showing that the SD card is mounted. Any ideas why?

  • helpme !!!!

  • OK OK OK !!! I have definitive answers to my issues. I spoke to a service rep at goblu.com. #1. The micro SD card slot: Do not force it open. There are two arrows stamped into the SD card slot cover. The arrow on top points to the right. The arrow on the bottom points to the left. To open the cover push gently and slide to the right, then swing up from left to right. Notice the tap slots on the sides of the SD card slot cover. If you force it open these tab slots will bend downward and the cover will not secure in the down and locked position with the pressure of the spring loaded contacts for the SD card pushing up on it. Once open then place the SD card in position and close the cover. Swing it back down like closing a trap door. Then push down slightly and slide the cover to the left. That inserts the tab slots on the top and bottom sides back under their stops and will hold the cover down, if they aren't bent. It only takes a few hundredths of an inch of bend to cause them not to secure, the thickness of a human head hair. If bent and it won't stay down then very very carefully, very carefully coax them back into proper position and repeat the procedure until it closes and stays closed. Very carefully. That can not be stressed too much. It takes very little pressure to force the cover open and even less pressure on the tabs to bend them back into proper position. #2. As far as not being able to move apps to the SD card, the rep said that not all apps can be moved.

  • So far so good. Cheap and Big. nice

  • Had the phone for a few days now. So far so good pretty much. Only one problem. I can't move the apps to the SD card. I put a 32 GB micro SD card in it It's in there right, the slot is molded to the shape of the card, it recessed as far as it will go, but the metal clip won't stay shut, take your finger off the metal clip and it pops up. It will not stay shut. Every time I take the back cover off the SD card falls out. I tried calling the Blu folks but was on hold for a half hour and gave up. My question is this, how do you transfer apps to the SD card??? I tap the menu, go to manage apps, tap the apps, they open, but the dialogue box that says move to SD card is not highlighted on any of them and therefore can't be selected. Am I doing something wrong or what??? Exactly how is it done???

  • does this Blu 5.5 s will work on Mobilicity? i tried to call customer service , but the phone number did not work? what a great company!!

  • I'm having a problem with dis phone after 2month I bout it and I don't no where to fit it in nigeria.I need a help pls,is the screen touch that is having problem

  • Are you sure you meant to say 5.5? This is the specs and comments on the 5.5S.

  • Ours do.

  • I have had this phone for just over a month now. So far, I have no complaints. It has worked perfectly. I got this after my son got another BLU phone and it lasted over two weeks, which he's only ever had two phones do that. His is still going strong, so must be a good product! We had such good performance with ours, that my youngest son now has a BLU phone, too.

  • Can the 5.5 s received pic

  • Well this is my forth blu phone I had the dash music , the studio 5.0, and 2 studio 5.5s love them all found cases for them on Amazon no regrets good price. Good phone.

  • I found cases for this phone on Amazon very cheap

  • I have had my 5.5s for two weeks. I would not advise anyone to buy this phone. I can't upload or download pictures. The e-mail is messed up. Called tech support. What a joke!! He Could barely speak english. When he couldn't figure it out, he had me do a ""Master Reset". I lost most of my stuff. IF you want a nice phone that works don't buy this one.

  • I dropped it and broke glass at top awhile ago but now the bottom of touch screen will not respond! Is there hope for this phone?

  • I don't understand what u mean. This phone comes with a case if u buy it as new. So for u to be looking for a case is kind of focusing.

  • Yea men dah shit be hard to obtain a full bar battery

  • I just for this phone 3 weeks ago (Amazon) and I really like the phone. I found this website because I am on the search for a case that works for it because this is my second BLU phone. I originally had the BLU studio 5.3 and had it for a little under a year until I was shopping without the case and dropped it. The screen broke so I got this phone. Now I can only compare one BLU to another and to me the camera in the 5.3 didn't take as clear pics as the one in this phone and the are both 8mp? The only issue I had with purchasing a BLU again was the camera. Everything else is good. But I didn't take into account that this phone may not have cases for a while. Does the Note3 cases fit this phone??

  • can i store and run apps from the SD card or it's just for media?

  • Can store and run apps from the SD card or its just for media?

  • good phone for its price

  • how do i change the ringtone on this phone?

  • You can also do this to set up your voicemail. Go to recent call log. Press the menu, select settings and then voice calls...choose voicemail ...select your carrier as the last option

  • This phone really sucks! I bought it off Amazon for 187 thinking..oh reasonable price huge phone.the camera sucks esp.the front it's never clear.you can't record any length videos and upload them.I hate it I'm seeking a new phone as I type.rip off!

  • its a nice phone at least for its price. the major concern i have is the battery. once fully charged, i type only a few words in a website or sms, the first bar just drops. and u begin to think of how to re plug.

  • try dialing your own number with your phone and listen to what it says..your voice mail should be there

  • You seem like the best one to ask, I have the phone and At&T tells me there is no voice mail with this phone, I think they are wrong. I thought all phones had voice mail. Help

  • This is my 3rd BLU in 4 years. BUT THAT IS MY Fault, I lost one and broke the screen on the other. I work out of town in 25 plus states and they all have been flawless through my travels. I have a studio 5.5s now and will get a vivo next only because I have more money than sense. The reason to buy a BLU is most BLU phones are set up to where you can save EVERYTHING to the SD card yes everything, I buy the superior Samsung 64 bit SD cards(amazon) and I set it up to save everything to the SD and the phone will be as fast on new for as long as I've had the phones. The BLU I have is a 1.3 quad core which is as fast as anyone who has a life needs. I wont lie I would change one thing I would add corning guerilla glass. But that's because I don't work in an office Buy a BLU, buy a BLU, buy a BLU!

  • Accessories like cases and screen protectors are very hard to find but the phone does come with one of each.

  • Can this phone last for years?

  • i want to get this phone but idk if its a good idea can anyone give me a full review on it???

  • The camera sucks def the front camera every picture has a filter!

  • 165 used

  • hi.. my blue bottom open after touch screen twice

  • My studio blue 5.5 was shaking also don't know why

  • I purchased the blu studio 5.5 approximately 3 weeks ago. The phone was doing fine until suddenly the screen starts shaking. Can anyone tell me what's happening to the phone? I didn't drop it either.

  • did u find a wallet case

  • did you try the note 3 case did it work if so attach a link to the one u bought

  • Great economically priced phone. Unlocked and dual Sim card allows for any two carriers. Only got it to replace my Samsung Galaxy mega 6.3 that has a shattered non responsive screen.

  • I actually sell these phones in my store! We work with many companies and Blu is the best! Great quality for an affordable price. :)

  • so are you all saying that note 3 cases can fit this phone?

  • Thanks, I wasn't sure if a note 3 case would work because of the button layout. I'll check it out.

  • EBay only has the pouch type.

  • Hi Umm does anyone have any bad reviews about this phone? i think i am going to buy it but idk if it is good enough. how long have you had it? did it last for a good time?

  • I am using the Fintie Kickstand if used with my Note 3 over the stock rubber cover that came with the phone. Fits snug while maintaining slim profile.(http://www.amazon.com/Fintie-Samsung-Gu­ardian-Holster-Kickstand/dp/B00FQF921C

  • Great phone for under $200. 4G 5 .5 in display thin bezzle 8mp camera.it has everything I need except more internal memory (4gb) but it's still a great buy. Coming from a galaxy s3 with (16gb) it will be a challenge but the rest of the phone makes up for it.

  • is an excellent team have 15 days to using it and I desir k still do not think a smart phone these prestasiones it costs only 180 dollars the camera is good the screen looks super winds and the battery lasts a lot is k is not of the quality of my bale old S3 but worth thinking about who this compral the sullo it is a good cell aga forget dimensional running games like modern combat 4 asphalt gta san andreas 8 to perfection and in his seven super-screen 5.5 inches

  • I am also looking for a case.. cannot find one

  • Has anyone been able to find a case, besides the leather pouch type, for this phone?

  • B.t.w... I really can't believe we're still asking these types of questions in 2014, which >> drive selection >> drive price >to> "upper end models" that are unlocked for 600+, when all they need to do is to link it up to an existing standard (re: MHL / MyDP)? (i.e. we can make light-bulbs last 1000 years you know)... This (hardware) function isn't rocket science. Someone is just preventing it from happening in mass in order to slow roll it, for $$. (either chip side, or fab side) - DDR v Rambus anyone? Good God.

  • Called Blu, they say no support for MHL... But There is also another vesa standard for mini-usb called "slimport" or MyDP (my display port)... Still looking around... Good luck. (the only think making me not buy this product, is 'our' question.)

  • the price shows 120 euros i want to knowi fis true about hte price

  • Yeah it does ips is s glass display

  • Are these phones mhl compatible

  • Is this phone available in Nigeria? Where exactly can the model that will work in Nigeria be imported from? This question in necessary because I heard that there are two editions of the phone- D630 U & D630 L.

  • Just bought mine today, and I really couldn't be any happier. Love it

  • Where in Trinidad did you get it? And what price? Want to get one...

  • I want to buy this phone BLU Studio 5.5S but cannot find it in Nigeria. Now I want to buy it online preferably from India. Please, someone tell which variant is meant for Nigeri, D630U or D630L?

  • If you find out let me know, I've looked everywhere for a week :/

  • Where can I buy an extra battery or wallet case?

  • Can anyone tell me if this phone has a glass display? Please respond i need to know.

  • Take your Studio 5.5S to your main service provider main store (Not a dealer) and have your APN settings change. Sample (T-Mobile, AT&T etc.) Especially the "APN Type" to send and receive text with pics. Each operator has different types of APN's. Hope this will help you.

  • I bought 2 of these, for my son & myself. Neither phone will send or receive pics. I'm challenged, is their a magic button we're overlooking? Other than that, we like love this big model!!

  • I personally love the phone the only issue and experience that there is a dead spot on my screen so I have to use google voice 2 text everything for me

  • Yes. I'm using the D630u right now. :) Actually, both models of this phone should work in the US. As long as you have the core 850/1900 bands, that means you will work on both ATT and T-Mobile (and any of their MVNOs). The only issue would be 3G. If you're in the refarmed T-Mobile network (which uses the 1900 band for data) you should be good. Otherwise, you'd probably get stuck with 2G data.

  • Does d630u work in the u.s?

  • thx u great comment

  • thx u great comment

  • it works 3g with net10?

  • it works 3g with net10?

  • This phone surprised me. Its excellent value for money, and yes, you can download Facebook, bbm, whatsapp...every-and-anything. It processor is very fast too !

  • I saw in the specs there is no sns integration does that mean that the phone won't be able to get applications as bbm fb messenger whatsapp Facebook and other social applications

  • I've had it for a month. No problems with it whatsoever. The camera takes excellent photos, bright & clear & clean. It's fast. Very responsive. Fits nicely in your hand. The display is pretty decent. Loving the 5.5" screen. The only thing is the internal memory is actually 2g not 4 as stated but I guess a memory card could fix that & also overheats slightly sometimes but that's with heavy use cuz frankly can't put the phone down. Bang for buck I'll give it a 9.5 out of 10. It's a phone not too expensive with some really nice features. Hope this helps
