BLU Studio 7.0 - User Reviews

  • I don't know why they making this phone

  • You know how to replace the screen? If so how much do you charge?

  • I can fix your screen I have one too

  • Mmy pone blue 7 studio enter safe mode what do I do

  • I have had BLU phones before and it served its purpose since they are cheap, but by far this is the worse phone ever. It shuts down for days, it restarts and then stays on a white blank screen, it sticks to every application you try to open. waste of my lunch money.

  • I loved my tablet phone until one day I forgot to take it out of my pocket before I sat down on it, now I can't find anyone to fix it.

  • I had this phone only for 3 months and it was working great for the first month and then it would turn off for itself with a full battery. At times it would not turn on and I would press the power button and volume but now all it does it lights up but would not turn on to use. This is nonesense.

  • Yes my phone keep cut in off and on by it self and I only had it for a little over a yr... smh........

  • It keep powering off it doesn't take good pics & when you record at night it be dark the phone just looks good That's all I had it over a yr.now & now it doesn't wanna stay charge smh is anybody else having the same problem...

  • i only, have a problem with the blu phone powering off all of the time, which is good, then i have to power it back on by powering it back up with a tiny pin to stick in the hold on the righthand side, then push the power button for it to power up! it's very annoying! why does it do that?

  • So overall how is this phone?

  • I have ad pop up ads just talking on the BLu Studio 7.0 II and its annoying as hell. Like to get rid of that damn issue.

  • this phone has been my one nightmare. I have every problem that you can imagine. I have no internet service no matter what plan I get on. I have spent countless hours on the telephone with technicians. Still no resolution and no data service so after spending quite a sum of money on this phone and now two months later I must purchase a new phone. My phone volume is so low I must either place it on speaker to talk or add headphones if I want to have any privacy with my incoming call. I wish that something could be done because the phone was exactly my choice. Now to be faced with the idea that just because it looks good doesn't mean it will work good.

  • I purchased the Blu Studio 7.011 about two months ago. The Blu is the correct size that I want but it came with unwanted problems just as most man-made products. With that being said would someone please help with my issues which is: 1.It won't allow me to install nor download, constantly saying"insuffiencient storage" 2.The Volume is low reguardless if you adjust it yourself , I would have to put it on speakerphone ,use a headset or hold the big device close to my face.3. The Blu constantly flash in and out causing dropped calls ,incomplete text messages and log ins. If there is anyone that has or is experiencing these issues would you please help me out here. Thanks

  • Please help my phone froze and there's no way to reboot it 😓

  • My blu studio 7.0 screen sleeps whenever I'm making call without using ear pins.Can someone help me with this problem

  • Whoa! First, I've read so many posts while trying to see if users have experienced the same results as I since November, 2015. Answer is yes. Second, if you elect to post something, either learn English or use a spell-check. Third, after using this phone for thousands of hours in the last 9 months all over the world as a lawyer, here is what is wrong with it: 1. Keep in mind that Blue makes phones primarily for low-income people in developing countries. This phone is no different. It is not a high-end phone. In short, if you are accustomed to $600.00 phones, you will not like Blu or any products it makes one bit; 2. At some point, the question is not "if" it will begin repetitive shut-downs, but "when" it will begin them. According to Blu, this is a design defect that all (long-term) users will experience; 3. Simply, the camera is the worst I have ever used in over the last 50 years -- phone or not. The screen is not much better, with its low resolution; 4. At least in November, 2016, shortly after the product was released, it was the sole entrant in the U.S. marketplace that offered 4G LTE service with U.S. carriers and a 7-inch screen with dual-SIM capability. I needed that. However, because I am so sick of the slow processor speed as well as shutdowns, and horrible photos, I am going to search the internet now for a replacement; 5. After the device reboots either upon my purposeful instruction or else involuntarily, the SIM card names disappear. Thus, if one is using two T-Mobile SIM cards and had them appropriately named to differentiate them, it will be impossible to know immediately after reboot what line is ringing -- both will say, "T-Mobile" instead of the assigned names. Accordingly, it is a frustrating process to retype/re-enter the nickname of the SIM after each reboot several times each day; 6. The aggravation of the inherent product flaws far outweighs the benefit of the big screen and dual SIM with 4G LTE service. I suggest the 6.44-inch Sony Z Ultra, although its specs have become outdated, and it is not dual SIM, but unfortunately, there are few qualified contenders over 6 inches; and 7. Someday, America will demand a premium dual-SIM phone with 7-inch screen and 4G LTE service. Until then, we have to live with the horribly-flawed Blu 7.0 LTE -- or use something silly like either Huawei's P8 Max or the MegaPro 7.0, both which have only 2G service in the U.S. Yet, compared to just ten years ago, the Blu 7.0 LTE is a masterpiece.

  • I mistakenly dropped my phone and it cracked open I took off the back and when I put it back on a little computer piece of falling out it went right where my camera was to be for rear facing when I snapped it back in I had my rear facing camera again

  • How do you make the drop down button work. The top part if the phone where you see the message and missed calls

  • This phone won't read my SD card, it says its damage so I bought a new one and it won't read that one either. So I have two good SD cards and a phone that won't read them. Anybody know what may be the problem...

  • It can do both, although I only use one

  • What I want to find out people who are using this phone does it use two SIM card or one

  • I have the same problem did you figure it out

  • Into the side like a ZTE Grand max X and you are given a little pin tool to insert into a hole to eject each one separately, so maybe next time answer people a but more nicely when they are just asking questions

  • Its ok until it start rampling i only had it for 2 month u get what u pay for thks

  • Yes,it does, if not, then how would you get to the SIM cards and/or sd cards?

  • I do not like phone scroll has stopped working on the phone and I can't get to factory reset button?

  • Yes my studio 7.0 has a dual sim card holder

  • I am having the problem in which I turn on the phone and it stucks on the screen which says BLU and it pretends to be charging when its not charging and the red light is on .. May I ask what's the problem is

  • I've had 2 Studio 7.0 LTE since February 2016, both worked well for a couple of weeks and both started re booting. I had to hard reset the phones every day. The company is going to send me another phone soon as they get this one back and can mak . sure it isn't damaged by me

  • I 'm not sure Where u got your Blu-Studio 7.0 from. Cause I had mine since Dec2014. No problem with mine. Just added 32 sd card.

  • Greetings, I, received my BLU 7.0 5/30/2015 & today is 6/26/2016. I turn it off, and its NOT powering back on! Not worth the price I paid foriI. That's all I'm saying!

  • It freeze too often

  • Does the back cover come off?

  • Does anyone know if you can use selective forwarding on a blu studio 7.0

  • I just bought mine on Amazon.it has been on charge almost ten hours n it is very cold and the light is not even on

  • Its a good phone ,,i have studio 7 the best thing is the battery capacity and the bigest screen,its fast and good looking.. No freezing unblock ...

  • I bought a studio 6.0, and fall in love. After spending some time playing with the features and learning about this particular brand of phone, like any computer or tab, I got rid of all the access apps and programs that made the phone lag, particularly ones I had no intention of using. All the features they tout, I use, and then some. Can,vid, the works. If you take time to do this, this phone can be your best friend. Yes, sometimes things don't work the way you want them to, but more often then not, its just plain playing with that makes it work. Nothing strenuously technical, either. I've had over two dozen phones since 2003, and this one is by far my favorite. Next will be the 7.0, and I NEVER, EVER buy two phones from the same manufacturer. 'Nuff said.

  • same with me the battery appears to be swollen now

  • me also after reading these reviews I am a little apprehensive, but there are also some really good ones, and the bad will be posted a 100 to 1... Like you said, wait and see,,,,

  • I have a blu studio 7.0 2 phone and my rear camera is not working. There is no place for me to switch to rear camera. Can someone help me with this problem please.

  • Hold down the power button and the up button

  • I have a studio c Blue 7.0 phone love it when it works. Have had it some months now. Goes off by itself. Now it won't charge, and is stuck on the Blue Studio screen. When n I plug it in to charge it the red light come on like its charging and it even get warm. No phone use for 2 days called the company they told me I had to reboot it in which everything would be lost on my phone. If it won't come on how can U reboot it. Help please

  • I am having the same problem..love the phone..hate that I have to keep the battery always plugged in..it also gets very hot and shuts down..I have to keep it on an ice pack to use it for directions with my GPS..any way..just wanted to reply about the battery..you can't clean it..with this phone..they didn't give you a way to open it to remove the battery..its the one thing I hate about it..I don't understand their thinking with that idea.

  • Me To 😒

  • the camera quality is awful ... cheaper phones have better quality than this 😑😑

  • Always remember to fully charge any rechargeable battery powered device before you use it. This dictates the "cycle" of the battery and may lead to bad battery performance if not done. regarding the camera, oddly enough there may be a "scratch protector" film over the lens which some companies use for shipping. Check to make sure that the film is removed.

  • Check to make sure the battery contacts are clear of any corrosion or any other material ( sometimes a small piece of lint can be disastrous ). If all is clear, then it would point either to a faulty battery, charger or switch within the phone. The first 2 are inexpensive to fix. The last would mean a refund or replacement from BLU or the place you purchased it from.

  • It has built in WiFi. Having to sign in to various WiFi hotspots or routers depends on if you save the login information when you initially sign into the WiFi hotspot or router.

  • Does this have built in wifi or do I have to put in a sign on to a network everywhere I go

  • I have a blue studio, I like it overall, but the main problem that I been having is that this phone frequently shut off by itself, and it take long time, some times to turn again. I have to have the phone charging all the time otherwise it shut off or batery get low. Please if anybody knows how to fix this problems let me know.

  • I have a blu 6.0 HD , jus got it yesterday and it keeps shutting off on its own. So I emailed the company and they had me do a factory reset, and it's still doing it!!

  • Take the little screw off and right there with sim card

  • hold the power down for a long time

  • So your pictures are good? Bc my front camera is dark and crappy

  • I thought you could adjust the settings for the camera but can't... Its so dark you can't even see and I'm taking them inside but have light worst camera ever... Cheap dollar store phones take better pictures and I experienced the powering off by itself and the battery didn't need charging.. It didn't work until the next day didn't know why only had it a few days but now reading all these comments I see its not jss mine that every one is having problems... Crappy phone waste of money... I want a better phone and my money back...wish I would have seen these comments before I baught this piece of crap

  • Mine did they same thing

  • These opinions making me not want to get it

  • I have the blue studio D700a, I love it, I saw it on eBay and I couldn't believe what blue had come up with. All styles and sizes of their new phones, if your looking to get a phone this would be the one to get,(thahts if you don't buy a Samsung or iPhone).

  • I have the blue studio 7.0 4g the only thing is the flashlight it dims wen turns on its bright then dims all the time

  • What's wrong with the phone i want one but I have the LG sylo with Cricket

  • I jest got my blu 7.0 today I got the 5.0 blue will the same sim card work for the blu 7.0

  • I'm having the same problem did you get it resolved

  • Straight talk is getting ready to send me the 3rd replacement sim card as the first 2 didn't work in my Blu phone...kept saying sim card not plugged in, no sim card or sim card error.

  • I have the Sony Xperia Z Ultra which is an inch bigger than the Galaxy Mega. I had the Mega first and loved it, but you drop it once and it's a wrap! I am experiencing the same issues with my Sony that many are having with the Blu 7.0. My Led light blinks and I run out of charge super quickly. I was informed that you must use the charger that comes with these phones or you can fry the battery. I am thinking of getting the Blu now, but reading these reviews.....ehhh.....I dunno.

  • I want my old phone back.....the little screen protector on the phone when you first get it says you get 8 gigs of space but I only get five I try to put my SD card in and the phone just automatically turn off that's so bogus I want my lg stylo back 😖😖

  • I love my phone. I haven't had any problems with it. I just wish it had more cute cases.

  • Yes

  • A small piece of the phone around the camera in the back can be moved. This is the only piece that comes off of this huge thing. Be gentle....very easy to come off!!!

  • No, it does not have dual sim card slots. The Blu Dash 5.5 does

  • I love the blu i already have ,does the 7.0 use dual sim also

  • I just switched from my 6.0 to my new Studio 7.0 and love it!

  • Can someone please tell me how to put this Sim card in this blu 7.0?

  • Can I purchase any Sim card for my Blue 7.0 ??????

  • Can't get my sim card to work in this blue 7.0.... I have a 6.0 that has worked just fine..

  • My phone just stop so only 3 months old going back in store have warranty feeling disappointed

  • I just got this phone today it work for 10 minutes and the stop accepting my sim card I tried for about an hour and then give up f**king crap phone worst decision I ever made waste my money....people please do not make the same mistake I do....read de reviews I would never purchase another blu phone

  • I was at a family gathering and a relative had this phone. I fell in love with the size and screen quality. I immediately looked to see if AT&T offered it. I then began down the google path. LUCKY ME. I have yet to see a GOOD review. So I will stick with my Samsung Note 5

  • I have a blue studio7.0 that was working OK the camera sucks,the date and time changes on its own all the time,now I had to reset it every other day,now suddenly my phone was low battery I put it on the charger ,powered it on and my phone is froze and wouldn't go off the main blue screen what can I do?

  • no power goes on

  • I am having trouble with my SIM card not fitting down in the slot. I am trying fit it on Straight Talk. Can Someone tell me what I can do with this 7.0 Blu phone

  • I just purchased the Blu Studio 7.0 yesterday and if it doesn't work can I send it back for a full refund of my money? Or do I need to counsel my order now and request my money back! Peaches

  • Do you remove your battery once a day for about 1 min.

  • I would call the company and see if they can email you the assembly plans

  • I would call the company and see if they can email you the assembly plans

  • Download a good video player from Playstore

  • Good phone only problem I have is my videos don't play they start an stops start an stops help!!!!

  • I needed a bigger phone because I do a lot on the internet and needed more viewing room. I purchase this phone because of a straighttalk rep. I cracked the screen about a month ago. I tried to find a replacement screen but I could not so I had to purchase another phone. The new phone (different version) has a dual sim card and mine does not fit it. I finally found a place that sold screens. So I purchased a replacement screen. Now I am trying to replace the screen and it is not that easy. I love this phone but my frustration is making me want to throw it in the trash like the rest of the viewer. Come on BLU Products! Bigger phone bigger problems!!

  • You may have to buy a new sim card. I had to buy the multi size sim card pack for straight talk at Walmart for $60 twice.the first time the phone couldn't read the sim card the second time I bought it the large at&t sim card worked. Now my Studio 7.0 11 works perfectly. I love my phone!

  • Did u ever get ur phone to restart.. My hubby is having the same problem right now

  • After every four-five days it automatically switch off.

  • How I get my sim too read with my studio 7.0 anybody knows???

  • I always thought of BLU as an up and coming company, so much so that I was really excited when I was informed that the BLU studio 7.0 phone was released, so what did I do, like any other techy that would love to support them, I took my hard earned money, which by the way I worked very hard for, and threw it away on a brand new BLU studio 7.0, two and a half months later home panel bottons sometimes work in portrait mode and sometimes the screen has invisible fingers all over it, to put it simply, the phone either comes with more bugs than a bed full of bedbugs, or it comes with an imbeded Trojan or two; BLU I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN YOU: I am already aware that the BLU studio 7.0 HD, and the BLU studio 7.0 HD ||, are out, and I'm not even sure that I'm willing to spend my hard earned money on your products, I expect that to sell a device like this for so little, sacrifices must be made, but, this is utterly ridiculous, I might decide to spend money on your products in the future, but in the mean time you should do the right thing and recall the BLU studio 7.0 or, create the necessary patches in an attempt to fix the unit and furthermore, if you have any company contacts, you should start sending them with your devices because it's difficult for the average person to get in touch with your company, until then, see ya! wouldn wanna be ya!

  • The back can easily come off but you need a very small screwdriver because there's two small screws at the top.

  • I purchased the blue studio 7.0 back in June of thus yearThis device worked fine upon until Augusta.During the night it will power off,because of this the alarm I set for wor never goes off.I am so dissapointed, I've contact the warranty department over a month ago,still no reply.I feel like I wasted my hard earned money!!!!!

  • After reading all the opinions i really felt that I made a mistake to book this phone online, which will be arriving in few days.. I have to see how it will work for me? i book this in Amazon.com...

  • Did u know it was the screen that had the problem? i love this phone but i was mad when it stopped working on me 2 days after i received it

  • turn it off and don't come on is a simple problem for this trash , you are welcome every day you gonna find out more problems if you want to make a phone call and finish your call without problem try to use speaker or bluetooth , don't let your ear on phone

  • i have it for several months it is a trash , because of the big screen and low quality when you make a phone call and your face touch the screen it is start to switching to other section i mean at time of talking it switch to check the voice mail or it going to change the time or...........or....... or it is a big trash.

  • I will be purchasing my own on 10/30/2015.I hope to enjoy it as soon as I open the box.

  • Yeah. You can use it with any carrier, since its unlocked. I think you can even use it with more than one carrier at the same time too.

  • Yes the back does come off.

  • Same problem with mine.

  • I have had this phone for less than two months. So far it has blanked out, overheated, refuse to charge. A hard reset solved those issue . Now it's stuck on the start up screen and won't boot up. Not pleased in any way with this phone!

  • Am not enjoying it at all is a 3G phone

  • Did you ever get an answer to the Sim card problem I have in the same problem with my sim

  • I am having the same issues did u get any help

  • Just got mine too and put a T-Mobile sim card in it and the only way to make it work I discovered is to remove the back and press and hold the sim card slot, its like its loose or something. This let me know it was the phone not the sim

  • I have had this phone for about 6 months, and I really do like it. I love the huge screen, it's very easy to view shows, videos, books, etc. The cons on this phone is that it is VERY easy to drop.. I have had to replace the screen twice now, and it doesn't work as well. Other than that, I like how the phone runs! 4/5 stars.

  • mines says the same I wonder y... Straight Talk is sending me a new sim hopefully that works!!

  • I just bought this phone, i also bought a straight talk sim card for it but when i put it in the slot it keeps reading " no sim detected " ... any help ?? -thanks

  • the volume / power flex might be shorted... my blu studio 7 was in a white screen, blue text loop.../ power is stuck pressed, so it forces restart

  • This is a crappy phone. The phone wasn't charging at all and I have purchased a new battery for it. I replaced the battery and it still isn't working properly. It is not charging and when turned on it only shows the white starter screen. I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone. Hate I wasted my money on it.

  • My BLU 7.0 only comes to the white BLU screen, it will not come all the way on. Have tried the reset button, have taken sim care out, and tried to reboot it. Still only stays on the white BLU start up screen and will not do anything. Suggestions????

  • Yes. It is GSM unlocked.

  • Can you use this phone for straight talk or net 10????

  • I'm having same problem. Any luck?

  • This phone will not keep a full charge. It takes all day to charge. Shuts off by itself. Had this phone for 4 months and had so many problems with it. Can the battery be replaced? Is there somewhere where I can take the phone to get it repaired?

  • How Long Does Aa Blu Studio 7.0 Last ? Ii Want To Buy One .

  • On my Blu studio 7.0 the switch button to change the back camera to the front is not there.please help me on what to do?

  • On my Blu studio 7.0 the switch button to change the back camera to the front is not there.please help me on what to do?

  • thank u so much for that tip about the little button i was two seconds away from throwing this shit out

  • i purchased a blu in december 2014 and for today i am having problems with the phone. its locking off by itself, and the battery is draining very fast. i fully charge it and leave it there then after picking it up after awhile its off, i turned it back on and it keeps coming off till i hear the sound the phone makes when the battery is about to die. can anyone assist me in this problem or tell me what is the problem am experiencing with the blu studio 7.0?

  • I am having the same problem. Were you able to resolved your problem? Please share with me.

  • My Blu 7.0 has not turned on since the battery died early this morning. I have had it charging since but it still wont turn on. Also the light to charge isn't coming on what should I do? How do I fix this?

  • You are absolutely right on every point - the battery and the pictures. I upgraded from a Samsung Mega, and the Mega took beautiful pictures and videos. This one, not so much. The battery overheats and shuts the phone down, and it's a minimum of 24 hours before it will even take a charge.

  • Mine has done it four times, and I've had it 1 month and a week. I'm trying to return it now.

  • My blue 7.0 beeps every minute. How do I turn it off?

  • thank u so much, it works

  • I can confirm one day soon you will wake up and your Blu 7 will be dead thank god for SD cards

  • I had the same problem the back does pop off but not all the way at the top its a small screw u can loose that can help u get your chip. Be careful because u don't want to damage the sim card slot.

  • Should I buy it ?

  • I got the blu 7.0 and charging is a big issue.. the phone cannot hold charge for 30 mins without turning off. The picture too are the worst this phone does not take good pictures.. Blu is a rip off i learn my lesson with this phone i will stick to galaxy..

  • I got my first Blu Studio 7.0 in April, I am having the same issue. I returned for a replacement and I am still having the same problem. I was told that they haven't had anyone to complain about that issue. Upon reading several comments, I've notice quite a few people are experiencing the same problem.I just think that I should have to stick a pin in that reset hole everytime it shuts dowm. I don't like spending my money to be told something different.

  • 2 week from new phone.Total black screen,no turn on.Found internet advice which worked well.First remove sim.Then..Press ON switch,VOLUME switch together. on screen,then replace SIM.Press TURNON as usual.Everything back to normal.Best phone owned!!!

  • My blu not charging and can not turn on since today what must I do

  • I don't agree with Blu on this but I guess they figured that if anyone sees the whole than they would automatically assume it was a reset whole. It is always the rule of thumb to sale and advertise as if you are selling to a market of ignorance. Not that the whole market is but the small percent that are will be able to utilize maximum capabilities with ease.

  • If you can type in proper English you can hold more validity and with validity comes credibility you talk so you can be understood and both validity and credibility go up you talk in slang or slander and you lose more of both and it is hard to recover. Like most everything else in life it is harder to gain something than it is to lose something. Thus one step forward two steps back.

  • I have had a blue phone for about a year now and never had a problem till now. I am with Metro PCS and maid the upgrade to 7.0 from the 5.5s on the account that I watch a lot of movies and like a bigger view. the problem is that it only allows me to access 2G networks. The network mode is on 2G/4G auto but it is only picking up 2G service. Because of this I am unable to use Netflix on this phone and my network is slower than a snail so YouTube and other streaming videos are out of the question. How do I get my phone to detect at very minimum 3G but preferably 4G networks?

  • you know where the power and volume buttons are? between them there is a little whole right? That is a reset button. get a needle or straighten out a small paperclip or you can use any wire that fits into that whole as long as its not flimsy. apply a small amount of pressure and then try to turn your phone on again.

  • how much us dallors for this????

  • I love my phone but apparently it turns off automatically and I don't know why need some help

  • I have a serious, embarrassing issue. I'm a complete jack-idiot and when I went to put SIM card into slot, I did so automatically without realizing it was micro. The SIM card is stuck and I don't know how to get it out. I am not sure if the back casing comes off. I attempted but nothing would move. I just got this phone this afternoon. I don't want to break it. My question is....does the back come off or am I totally a newbie in phablet land and it's not supposed to open?? Right now I'm SOL on no phone now and I need it badly for jobs to call. HELP!!

  • My phone won't turn on its on the charger now but all it is doing is blinking a red light ? Please help

  • Have had this phone for about a month now and I live it. I have been a moto man for over ten years and I'm never going back. From now on its blu for me.

  • I love my phone work its awesome!

  • Keep turning off every 12 hours

  • was thinking to buy one but never mind since its not working for you guys

  • I have been testing and using the Blu 7 for about four months and testing every feature. The phone has worked smooth and as it should! Better than expected.

  • I had it about 3 weeks, don't work to well, comes on when it get ready, something is killing my battery don't know wat to do about. I paid 146.00 for not giving me good service @ all.

Alot Of ppl making complaints.an if you guys can't get your" act "together you just loose a customer and you will loose more. ..until you have none to sell to.... an that's the truth my friends

  • The BLU 70.0 works great for the last few weeks and does what it is suppose to do. I wonder if the reports against it is only by people that sell another kind and do not like the fact, this unit is great and is worth every dollar it cost.

  • Bought it for my wife who is old fashion and travels for work internationally. Excite to meet her in Memphis yesterday to give her the phone....Charged it while getting ready for dinner and once off the charger it dies I mean I've never seen anything like it...I was so embarrassed. These phones are a reflection of what they really are...cheap phones.

  • This is my second one. My husband brought it and it shut off and the battery light kept blinking not wanting to charge or come back on... This is the second one and now its taking the play store easy long to load my social network apps. I had the other blue and that was fine.... Please fix it blu

  • I've had this phone replaced 3 times and I'm done. I shouldn't have to reset the phone thru the pin hole because it keeps turning off. Returning the phone tomorrow & will wait till Blue get their act together!

  • Hi can u give me more directions on how u did the music Ring tunes someone please help!m

  • What store did you buy it from in Panama City Fl ?

  • The writer said this unit had two slim cards when there is only ONE in the 7.0 unit. I had my unit now for a week and love it. Glad to find the pin hole to reset the this and hear it is working well. Would of been nice if the document showed that point and that it was a reset hole like some other data units I have had to reset. That may of helped others here from returning the BLU Studio 7.7.I happy with it.

  • Push reset button

  • Try iDROID Royal V7 5.5" Android KitKat phone in the same price range, I just got mine from AMAZON last month.

  • I am using Galaxy Core Prime and it an amazing smartphone in such affordable price range.

  • I am using Galaxy Core Prime and it an amazing smartphone in such affordable price range.

  • just got the blue 7.0 keeps cutting off. what do I do about it. very disappointed

  • My blu studio phone shut down about 12 times and I knew it was fully charged and when I held the power button down it still wouldn't come on unless I put the charger in and held power button for about 10 minutes. I took back they reset it and it did it again and I took back again they replaced with a new one at metro pcs now I got this one and the flash on the camera doesn't work. So now it's going back tomorrow I haven't had the blu studio a month this is a crappy phone and wouldn't recommend to nobody I did love because of screen size!

  • I JUST GOT THIS PHONE ON APRIL 2,2015.And it shut off in will not come back on wish I would have did my research.

  • My wife gave it to me as a gift and is the worse celular I ever had. Just after one week it is in the shop and I am back to my old Sony Tipo small celular. The warranty service is horrible and the store that sales them in Panama just get your money and then you have to fight to get it fixed by the warranty shop. My advice, run, run, run fast and away from it.

  • I have had my blu 7.0 for just over a week and today my phone has done the same thing, i hung up and then the phone shut off and will not come back on.. My husband has sent his back already for the same reason. What the hell?

  • That just happened to me today it won't turn back on

  • has that has happen to me i sent the first one back for the same reason and about to send this one back also

I have connected the phone to the computer, of course I set up the gmail account on the phone first but I cannot get them to synchronize. can anyone offer any advice please. thank you

  • My wife's Blu 7.0 screen just want let you scroll are touch anything and it keeps changing screens and sending and calling random ppl from my contacts please someone help

  • my phone did the same thing and I was about to send it back, but I notice the pin hole on the side and stuck a pin in it and it came back on, you see it is more of table type phone and after that it has been working fine. I am loving it and if you want music for people who call you, you must go to setting and add it in.

  • The phone was fine until it started saying no Sim card detected and I have two of these phones aND both of them said it the same day. There's nothing going wrong with my Sim cards because they work fine n other phones

  • I have the blu 7.o an my screens off but the green flash is on wt dose that mean an it wont tirn on or charge

  • Use a 32 gb memory card it should work faster and better

  • I bought the new 7.0 Wedensday, February 26. Iused it on Saturday, the screen goes out. So, I take the phone back the same day it went out Saturday, February 29. They gave me another new phone out the box again. I be dogonit later on that day it went out. What's the problem with the phone?!

  • My blue studio 7.0 is slow on intnet compared Other phone

  • Well i have a blu 5.0 mega 2 , before i had this i had a regular 5.0 i turned off on me and never turned back on. I had it for a couple months and i didn't drop nor damage it. I sent it back and replaced it with the 5.0 mega 2, ive been having this phone for almost a year not. its great, the only thing that sucks is the front camera. i hate it. Besides that its a great phone. Ive just ordered the 7.0 and its being shipped i hope it works as well as my 5.0.

  • Sorry, but to you it might be a tablet and to others it might be a phablet. I didn't know you were the one who wrote the definition and drew up the specs for a phablet...I agree with you that it feels more like a tablet than a phone, but that's just my opinion. You can have your opinion too, but to try to tell someone else they can't consider it a phablet is pretty presumptuous on your part.

  • idk but why does blu love poked out cameras :D ?

  • I like the phone except for 1 thing I have to use my headphones or put the phone on speaker to talk to someone I just contacted customer service and I waited a little late so fingers crossed hopefully I can get some answers tomorrow

  • Just got it love it

  • The fone just died on me, it is charging for a few secs the blanks out. What is happenining, how do I get it back

  • With regards to the idea that megapixel measurement on cameras means nothing, that's simply not true and misleading. When you take pictures, the megapixel measurement is taken into consideration when you plan to display (or print) the picture. For instance, displaying a picture on a computer screen or online, 1-3 megapixel is fine. If you want to print a 4X6 picture, 2 megapixel is fine. However, if you want to print a 8X10 picture, you'll start of lose quality and start to see pixelation if less than 5 megapixel...if you want to print 11X14, best to have a minimum of 7 megapixel. To see a good example of the difference that megapixels make, on Windows PC, use the snipping tool and clip a 2X2 inch section of your screen, then paste that into a Word document at 2X2 inch size and it will print fine, but expand it to 6X6 inch and you really lose quality. That's the difference in number of pixels per inch. You will really notice the difference in the number of megapixels the picture was take with when you try to "blow up" a piece of the picture larger than it's original size.

  • the airplane mode wont turn off

  • I love the phone for the price great great great. for a higher price great great. works great. could use more gb's

  • looks wicked i want one

  • My posting on Dec 12 at 5:36 was off as for the phone restarting. I had forgot that I had set the phone to turn off at 11pm. Every thing else is correct.

  • is this phone heavy and can you fit it in to your pocket and whatnot

  • So here is what I have experienced since I have a blue studio 7.0. I like the size but what I like don't matter. It has a short battery life. As long as I don't use it the phone battery will stay in the 90% range but as soon as I start using it..look out below. Next is it gets very hot if you watch videos for more than 30 minutes. This is the type of hot that gets you concern that the phone may burn itself. Last is the desire to reboot or shutdown. For some unknown reason this phone tries to shutdown even if it is resting on the table. There are a few issues with this phone and a recall may be in order. Just in case you are wondering the phone tries to shutdown when the battery is around 30% from being drained.

  • 170 ppi... My god that is the worst ppi I've seen on a phone (or should I say tablet at 7 inches) in a long time.

  • yes, i just came to know about the existance of the Sony Z Ultra. so that's the limit. a phone shouldn't be 7" or bigger than that.

  • Wow! Studio 7.0,first impresion... bad quality screen. Studio 6.0 HD really good..

  • The mega pixels does not mean anything. All that does is give you a bigger wide angle if you get a 8mp. Thats all it does, doesn't mean anything about quality of the picture at all. It just means you fit more in your picture with a 8mp compared to a 5mp camera. Does not affect the quality what so ever.

  • Your wrong the Sony xperia ultra which is 1 inch bigger than the mega 6.3 screen but in the widness u is the Sony is taller but the mega is fatter I got a mega and might upgrade to the smaller mega 2

  • why are you talking about this as a phone/phablet? this is obviously a tablet! it is 7". it is too big for being a phone. the biggest phablt is the Galaxy MEGA 6.3 with a 6.3" display. and that is the limit, it is too big.

  • I would jump on this phablet in a heart beat if it weren't for the camera quality. At least go 8mp for the primary camera! I get these phones aren't high range but jfc I can't imagine going back to 5mp or lower quality... :(

  • Looking to buy this phone! looks great and every Phablet lover's dream! i will post a review on here when i get this bad boy in my hands! :) pretty excited about this!
