BLU Studio X - User Reviews

  • Hello, My phone has a problem with the battery. When I connect it to the level of the load, it signals then it turns off immediately. I do not know how to deal with this anymore. But there are several of my documents. It seems that the battery is internal. Help me to find a solution to this problem. What to do? Thank you in advance for your advice. corcially to you

  • how do I resolve the frequency differences since my blu studios x cannot work on 3G network in Ghana.

  • I have this phone for about a year. The sim card reader has stopped working, this morning while I was using it, it went completely black. I thought it was because the battery was low so the brightness went too far low. I tried plugging it in, still didn't work. Tried to maximise the brightness. Nothing. The phone went completely dead. Is this a common problem? How can I fix it?

  • Mine did that once, just have to disassemble the back until you manage to reach the battery cable, unplug it for a sec. and plug it again then connect the charger. that should do it

  • Dear Blu, I was gifted a Blu Studio X model by my son when I visited him in Oct. 2015; I had activated it then. We came back to India in Feb. 2016 and have been using it here in India. Recently the battery went dead and even after keeping it for recharging the device is not coming alive. While you website says that the battery is removable and the manual also says to insert the battery after inserting the SIM cards, but we have not touched the battery at all as the notice on the battery says, 'CAUTION - BUILT IN BATTERY; WARRANTY VOID IF REMOVED'. Since the device is not even a year old and also since we are away from the place of purchase (Calgary, Canada), kindly advise, how can we have this device/battery fixed please?

  • You can't use 3G in your country because your provider's frequency doesn't match with the cell phone's capability. In Dominican Republic, we can have 3G with 2 providers. And only Edge (E) with a third provider.

  • I'm in Ghana and Iv been using the phone for about a year and half,the 3G mode doesn't work here it's always at E. The camera too is not as nice as it used to be...any help in resetting the camera.

  • I saw the option to update the phone today. So I did now the phone refuse to read or identify the sim cards. I'm unable to make or receive calls. Please help urgently. I'm on call for work and have no other option.

  • I have blu studio x an i has the same problem ... So i was upgraded the SO and problm solved

  • If am in the kitchen and my phone is in my room I sshould know if I have received a msg or miss call without I light the phone up. Another ting is that the phone doesn't have a light to indicate that it's charging.

  • I like my BLU Studio X phone as it has most of the functions other the smart phone. The price is reasonable and it also looked nice. My friends are surprised how clear it is in taking pictures and video. The only negative about it is that the control volume and the ON switch on both the left and right side break easily when you keep using it, even though it is in the casing. Now I have to figure if I will have to superglue it.

  • My Blu Studio X touch screen is suddenly not functioning. I can't use the phone at all. I tried restarting it from the smart button on the side and that did not fix the proxblem. Please help.

  • okay so my phone was over heated and I was asked to remove the battery , so I did and now it won't turn on at all , the charger doesn't do anything and I need to turn this on , please help , please !

  • Hey how to root this Phone with 5.0.2 ok regards in advance

  • I have used it and sometime its speaker stop working and it is not supporting 3g in pakistan

  • With lollipop you can name each line in the sim setting then each incoming call will show "000-000-0000 on nameofsim"

  • Purchased the Blu Studio X about a week ago (Jan. 9, 2016) from BestBuy for about $150 to use as a cheap 2nd phone (my primary is an iPhone 6). I wanted an Android phone for some Android-specific apps and to have a spare/secondary phone for reading, music, etc. Upgraded the O/S to Lollipop and upgraded all of the apps. I am pretty happy with the phone so far. It is unlocked, so I can use any cell provider. I started with the T-Mobile Walmart SIM plan at $30/month which gives me 100 minutes of talk, unlimited messages, and unlimited data (first 5GB at 4G/LTE speeds). Nice big screen, no issues with stability, and just an occasional drop with my home WiFi (which is probably my access point).

  • I removed the battery energy xy appears that broke something. how I can solve it? now will not start

  • Phone all of a sudden froze today, while using an app was able to reboot but then it went completely black screen.. Won't turn on, charging doesn't do a thing.. Pluggin it in computer still syncs but doesn't show up on computer. Only sound notifying its plugged in. Guess I'll probably try flash ROM it back to the original... Once again! Sigh

  • It just happened to me today now my phone won't turn on after rebooting..I could tell at first that it was still on tho the screen was completely black .. Being able to hold vol n power buttons I could feel it vibrate but even plugging in charger wouldnt show up..now its off completely smh

  • I'm using WiFi from next door but it does not keep WiFi signal but I have heard if u rest the router it help an turn off the WiFi on phone then put back on it hrlps

  • You can get parts directly from bluproducts.com

  • This phone sucks!... I have been using it for 6 months, and the back cover is completely destroid and the sxreen cracked... I can't find a new one... It restarts itself... And i can't believe the poor software support BLU give to this pice of crap... It has a very close stock android experience, and it haven't been updated (at least) to 5.1... The last update was in september, and was from 5.0 to 5.0.2, you get what you pay for

  • I have been using it for the past 7 months, kind of enjoying it except for occasional rebooting on its own and fast battery energy dissipation while surfing the net. Overall it is a rugged and robust phone

  • What do i do to get some kind of indicator lights on this Studio X phone?

  • What fo i do to get some kind of lights on this Studio X phone?

  • this phone sucks i hate it so much it restarts by itself constantly and right now while it was restarting it froze and my phones broken

  • I just got the phone , and for me, its perfect. The batter drains a little bit fast while using data. But I dont use data that much,So for call and music(the 2 things that I always use) Its perfect. Very happy with the perfomance and the screen its beautiful

  • My Blu Studio X says it has internal gyroscope BUT I can't find it and all the accessories that go with it to make it play 3D say it cannot be found. Who is right on this matter? My cool Google Cardboard won't play any 3D bc says no Internal Gyroscope can be found. Help me find it please or tell me where I can install one.

  • Yeah ... Waze works

  • Upgraded to lollypop. Proximity sensor no longer works.How do I go back to Kit Kat

  • Well, well, well, BLU Studio is doing me great....

  • Hi All, Purchased this phone yesterday....trying to connect to wi-fi at home....not able to .... 1. it is able to detect the wi-fi network. 2. Just entered the password....not able to connect.....!!! any thoughts...suggestions

  • I have a BLU Studio X phone trying to connect to Wifi at home....its just not able to connect to network.

  • hdr: yes led notification: no

  • battery life kinda sucks other than that the phone is pretty alright touch is lacking and well everything else is good i got mine for 77 on prime , it's alright for the price i guess

  • I hate the fact that it doesn't have OTG, and G sensor! but other from that its a decent phone for the money.

  • I have already had one for a week now and I am still amazed at the performance I get for the money. Maybe I will write a short review.

  • My Blu Studio X seems to work fine after about a month. This is my first smartphone. The main problem is that it doesn't "wake-up" for notifications, such as from Whatsapp or Gmail. (My service is Movistar in Argentina). I have to wake the phone up manually to see notifications. Calls come through OK, however. Any suggestions? Thanks

  • i have the same problem. dnt know what to do......... need help ASAP!!

  • I just ordered one of these off of Amazon the other day, dirt cheap at $78. I know it will blow the doors of my old ZTE 998. I'll write full review in a few days when I receive it!

  • using blu studio x for d past 4 months.battery is a real disaster.with data usage max. up to 5 hrs only charge will stand.charge very very slow. except battery everything is very good

  • My phone is two months old, not responding to touch, cannot open it, nor reboot it. Power off message comes on but no response. Screen is frozen.

  • Just ordered mines today; i am so excited! I am sooo in love with the BLU Brand!

  • My Studio X does not detected OTG USB, it works fine on my tablet and other Blu phone which is a Studio C 5.0 HD but nothing happens with the Studio X. I have tried Stick Mount and a few other apps from the PlayStore to troubleshoot this problem but nothing worked. Can someone please help me out?

  • Please,can some one help me.I bought this phone just a week ago and the mobile network it displays is edge even when you change the network settings to 3G.I contacted the service providers only to be that the problem is from the phone not the network.as a result the phone is very very slow.PLEASE I NEED HELP IN THIS.

  • in the lollipop update the user funcion doesnt work anyone how make it work

  • Ever since installing Lollipop 5.0 the battery charge on my 1 month old Studio X is dropping like a stone. The phone estimates 90 minutes of use while browsing and drops from 100% to 78% (indicated) while on standby in 1 hour. I don't know whether it is the battery monitor or the operating system doing the damage, but I DO NOT recommend updating to 5.0 until this apparent issue is discussed and dealt with.

  • Since installing Lollipop 5 on my Blu studio x plus my battery feature in settings says "battery usage data is not available". Anybody else seeing this? How can I get it back to displaying my battery use?

  • It comes unlocked

  • Even for its crappy 1gb of ram, this phone can really hold it's own in terms of speed considering that I run a PSP emulator on it with no lag.

  • The phone has facility for two lines - 2 SIM cards. Anyone out there with experience using two incoming lines? How does one know which line is ringing and how do we switch from one to the other etc...? Any comments to start with would be most useful.... Thanks so much.....

  • How can I unlock this cellphone? I bought it from my local store in Dominican Republic and I cant find a way to unlock it

  • I'm a Newbie, but I think this unit is really good! I'm just learning, but so far have a good experience. The only fault I have is that the camera resolution isn't great, but I didn't buy it for that - I have a Nikon!

  • Yes the touch isnt good at all. Especially when typing. Im missing letters when typing. Gets annoying. I wish blu could give us a feature in the settings to turn up the touch sensitivity..

  • The update for Lollipop is out and its great so far, I love it!

  • Great phone for the price, using lollipop on mine. Flashed with sp flashtool, all MTK phones are easy to flash. Beware though there is no easy root method yet for lollipop for for this phone.

  • It is slated to get lolipop in June.

  • i have this phone for 3 month now is a great phone but blu promise that the phone would get lollipop in april and there is still no update for android lollipop

  • Had mine now for about a month. Excellent phone for the money. It would be A+++ if only the back and home buttons did not take up screen space. It should be in non viewable space i.e. Samsung. Other than that perfect I give it a b+

  • I want to buy this phone but I'd like to know if It takes good picture in the darkness or night ? help me please

  • From above: GPS Yes, with A-GPS

  • This phone is terrific considering the price. I am also impressed the screen resolution, it's very good. My only complaint about this phone is the touch sensitivity ia not quite good, howerver it is a nice phone

  • The user's manual supposedly available WS a PDF download comes in as an unreadable text file. Inexcusable. Several As need answers. The other comments suggest serious problems. Is this just one more?

  • The user's manual is supposedly a PDF. It is, instead, a totally useless text file. That is crazy and inexcusable. It simply cannot be read even on the Blu phone itself.

  • Does this phone have a GPS chip?

  • Really nice phone for $130. I'm trying to chose moto g or blus studio x. Is gaming smooth on this phone. I want a phone that will adleasalways play simple games like temple run

  • Wow this thing is nice. I really want to buy it. It has decent specs.The blue version is only 116 and change on Amazon

  • I can't wait to buy but before I buy I'm dieing to know if it has gorilla glass and if something goes bad if I can replace the battery.

  • Nope. No indicator light.

  • Does it have an indicator light that lights up for msgs or when charging?

  • I'm not sure what's up but I'm not seeing an indicator light. Help!!

  • I wanna buy this phone soon.... Can someone tell me if its good for games e.g. Minecraft PE??

  • Hello, I am very interested in buying this phone, but before that, I want to know if the waze application is working well on this phone?

  • Pros in thus phone is definetly more than cons. The Pros are: Sleek design Fast The solid frame Dual Sim Awesome display among phones in this range. Con's: Quality of audio out is not great Does not have compass. Definetly a worth buying for the cost

  • To take a screenshot, hold down the power and volume down button at the same time.

  • please how can i divide photos into several albums ??? and how can i take a screen shoot ????

  • Totally Terrific so far after 2 weeks. Very responsive and super fast. Battery lasts 24hrs+ Can any one help with a message light?

  • The Studio X has 8GB internal vs 4GB of the 5.0 C HD, a slightly bigger battery, and a promised upgrade path to Lollipop. The one con is the fixed internal battery which GSMA does not mention.

  • I bought the Blu Studio X on Amazon last night,will arrive tomorrow.I am sold it is comparable to Samsung Galaxy 4 at half the price. I will see soon,I am singing up with Ting.

  • this one can be upgraded to android lollipop and has Bluetooth 4.0 which for me is better

  • does it have Gorilla Glass?

  • This is the same phone as the Blu studio 5 c hd, which sells for 114 dollars on Amazon. I don't know why Blu would make another phone with Identical specs for more money - buy the Energly at least it has a different battery.

  • Hey guys, it's already out on Amazon (129.99), maybe since yesterday, along with the Studio Energy (149.99). I was also waiting for it to come out.

  • Unclear if this is a quad band

  • I am trying to buy this phone but can't find it anywhere. Just called the phone number on the Blu website, told me it should be out by last week of February.

  • Seriously.... I have seen ZERO information about when it will be released. Nothing...not even placeholders on amazon, ebay, b&h, etc.

  • This is one of the best God-Damned phones Blu ever made.

  • I can't wait to get my hands on one of these beauties, does anyone know the actual date there releasing these?

  • Good performance, beautiful screen and good battery life so far.

  • Damn good look
