BLU Studio G - User Reviews

  • My studio g phone does not hold a call! It also has to be rebooted just about every time I use it!! This phone is terrible!!!

  • Since I installed the latest android updates for my studio g all my downloaded apps started crashing and closing on there own. What I s the problem with the update from 2017? Help

  • How i can change the band Frecuency in 3G by 900Mhz

  • I agree with you. I face similar problems. I bought mine in 2016 and I regret it so much. I have a 64 gb SD card and it still tells me insufficient storage space. I've reset the phone 3 times, same thing. Picture quality sucks. Blu phones are aweful.

  • The manual is built into the device. Goto Settings -about device and then User Manual.

  • How did you upgrade from kikat to marshmellow?

  • I cannot access my voicemail. How do I change my password and check my email??

  • Huh that weird mine came with a manual and I can check my voicemail u but what do u expect when u get a 50$ phon

  • My BLU Studio G seems to be lock in the restart motion most of the time. When I do get to the contacts it goes back into restart. Any ideas to solve the problem?

  • Hi everybody, I tried to upgrade my cellphone to android v5.0 Lollipop.When my cellphone was upgrading, it did a restart and didn't come up again. Do u have any opinion?

  • hello slot 2 of my cel is not working what can I do thanks

  • Hello ! any body here ? I've lost my BLU Studio G Mobile , What can I do now ?

  • THe phone came with no manual and none is available on the WEB. THis is bizarre. A manual should be available with the unit/ in the store or easily downloaded. Zero/Zip /Nada How can you stay in business. I into my 3rd day & still cannot access voice mail messages

  • heyy....inbox me,and i'll tell you how to make it work...certainly.

  • hello Bruno, what did you do to the phone, so it can be faster?

  • BLU STUDIO G for the price and cost benefit, excellent device all the problems presented has a simple correction that takes around 15min to effect after the procedure that I did exclusive to this model everything is perfect working a little faster than motorola bike g2 and with the same Quality only losing in applications that require of ram that in this device and extremely scarce but in counterpart his gps and extremely accurate and really works in places without some network and his system really needs to be updated because in the own blu there are inferior devices but that already are running The marshmallow for example my blu advance 4 l2 updated to 6.1 and compared to the studio g he got back in every test I did.

  • I bough BLU G in dec 2015, but really dislike it. Battery life is too short and os is still 4.*. Now I am struggeling to upgrade the low OS. I will not buy BLU product any more.

  • I used this phone in Kenya with no network problems.

  • I bought this phone in late September 2016, on special at Target. Unlocked. To the naked eye its very pleasing, good looking screen and it seems responsive...at first. Long story short: I discovered that coming off the production line it has a host of defects, SD card is erratic in its ability to notice your SD cards, camera software sucks, it has practically no RAM so even with just its 4GB internal memory if I install any apps IT CRAWLS. Worst phone I've ever owned. I read a lot of their phones have similar built in problems. BLU sucks

  • I purchased 2 of these phones and had return them because of the batteries overheating and not charging. My replacement phones,however; have the same problem ( the temperature of the batteries reach 168 F ) which makes the phones to hot to touch. I would like to receive a number in order to contact your company for replacements of the phone's batteries. I have an email with gmail([email protected]).. I will be waiting to hear from you.

  • really ??? how comes ? mines has 4.4 kit kat

  • this phone is a 5 on a scale of 1-10 if i could buy it again i wouldnt.

  • just bought this phone and it has marshmallow, in central America.

  • im in kenya and experiencing the same problem with my blu studio g, when i switch to 3g network, it loses all network and indicates X on network icon. this really sucks. kindly do something.

  • Nice and usefull phone. Good quality. I have an issue at the beginning with the ear speaker but Wallmart take the phone and fixed under warranty. Since then no issue even when I have dropped many times. Good reception and very clear on vocies. All other features work very fine. My only complian is on the camera feature of automatic focus. It is slow and I have lost many shoots while focusing and I can't find where to disable it.

  • Hi all, I bought this phone in the US to use as an unlocked phone abroad while traveling. However, it doesn't seem to be working here in Sweden (even though the GSM bands seem right). It's definitely not a problem with the local SIM card. My question is this: what's the difference btw US GSM and global GSM, and how can I find out which one I have? I'm worried I got the wrong one, but in the store there was only one option and they said it would work.

  • Como actualizo Mi Cel A Androi 5.0 lollipop

  • Anyone know how to set up voicemail for this phone?

  • False. I'm using this phone and I can verify that mobile data does indeed work. Maybe something is wrong with your hardware or your provider is blocking it or some other shenanigans

  • Ikr!

  • Cant find the lollipop rom for this phone !

  • It doesn't update to 5.0 even already do steps for updating it system ! Also mobile data doesn't work !

  • i think all said is right, actually this phone has issues, i have tried updating but sends unkown serial number

  • In this phone is not enable 3G network and when the data connection also on it didn't work.my country is Ethiopia so how to set the network.tnx

  • This phone sucks, id rather use my 4.0l

  • I really like Blu (as a company,) and this phone. Their starting jingle isn't as annoying as iPhone or Samsung, and I like their slogan but there are quite a few inconveniences with this certain phone. The first being the camera; it's not great, not at all and the focus does not work from 2m. (I tried and failed to take good pics of flowers today.) Everything also comes out rather pixelated, both on phone and when uploaded to my pc/photo sites and it does not function well in low light. The video's always sharp and in high quality so I don't understand why images don't work just as well. The flash/light is pretty week as well and pales in comparison to my mothers Samsung. I also find the screen to be a little frustrating. It's like a privacy screen but in reverse. Looking at it head on kind of darkens the image but tilting it to the left brightens it. I'd rather my screen be crystal clear to me and dark to everyone else. However, this phone can run quite a few apps at once and doesn't slow down like Samsung's OS seems to. It's screen is also very responsive and great for gaming, which is what I use it for. You will need to buy a microSD card for more space but it's worth it. Sadly, it can't seem to take much of a tumble without having issues. I kind of tossed mine onto my bed in a huff and during a following phone conversation, the screen would not turn on no matter what I did but it was fine immediately after. There also seems to be all too few accessories for this phone, making it hard to personalize. TL:DR; This would be great for any gamer in the family (given you also buy a micro-sd,) but the selfie obsessed will be disappointed with its camera. Good for young teens and up but sadly average at about 6/10.

  • For all those who can't access the 3g service on their phone, I recommend you set the service to your first sim card you can't have 3g running on both sim cards, if the problem doesn't work then maybe you're on a different bandwidth however you can check by downloading mtk engineering tools on google play store and select the corresponding 3g band for your device, make sure you know what you're doing I'm not responsible if you brick your device..

  • Try setting the 3g service to your 1st sim card slot if it doesn't work then probably you're on a different bandwidth

  • Try finding roms on the xda site or google search for a lollipop custom rom I can't access the marshmallow rom anymore

  • I can't access that file anymore but you can download the lollipop custom rom from the internet

  • any rom for this phone ?

  • hi, I just read you comment about the marshmallow rom, I am from CUBA and I have not access to download this file on that link, if you can download it for me and upload it to dropbox then I will be happy to testing on my phone that rom. Only if you do it. thanks

  • I feel fairly confortable with my BLU Studio G smartphone, since taking into account its low price it shows an acceptable global performance. I'd just like someone to help me with a doubt whose answer I could find nowhere. How can I take a screenshot? Indeed, I've taken two, but by accident, actually I don't know how I did it. Thanks. Jess.

  • Great phone for $120CAD. The FM tuner is nice. I miss having an IR blaster for my TV's. It's a cheap phone but it can hold it's own very well.

  • Anyone know if it works with Wind?

  • Bought this today as my backup phone (my original is Galaxy Note 3). For the amount of money that I paid for, it does the trick and more. Touchscreen is a bit slower but not by much. Able to Clash of Clans no problems. Came unlocked so which is a bonus. Wifi is good. Network connectivity is good also. Like I said, for the money that I paid it definitely did the job good.

  • first time using a touchscreen phone, whole new experience..My daughter sponsored the change to this BLU studio G..but WHERE IS THE USER MANUAL...phone rang and i could not figure out how to accept the call ...new devices once came with operating instructions... is that a thing of the past? is the manual on line somewhere?

  • at unit c27-2761 markham road, toronto 416-335-4777

  • Love the phone, but the lack of a case is really frustrating. There is not one on aliexpress - it just comes up in the search engine. Someone needs to make a case for this!

  • Wal-mart carries this 1 129.99 cad :D

  • Where? I can't find it. Can't find one anywhere.

  • You can find a case on aliexpress.com

  • says it's upgradable to lollipop version. and how will it fit to a 512 MB RAM? am not getting it. o_O gah.

  • True. I understand that this phone just came out in January 2015. But still the Samsung Galaxy S6 is not even out yet, but they have cases for already on almost ever web site. This phone is the best phone I ever had. I love this phone. Someone, please work this out!!

  • I really like the phone. why did you not may a standard case for the phones protection. I have yet to find one.

  • 89$ for this one. Let's see how they bring Lollipop to 512 MB of RAM, but it's the cheapest access to Lollipop you'll get.
