BLU Studio X8 HD - User Reviews

  • how do you upgrade this phone to a 5.0 marshmellow

  • My camera is not working. How can I resolve this...?

  • Got new phone an can't make we we or it, do I need minutes? do I need to reenter all num ERS & conte t?

  • Sorry. Some specs is bad. This blu device have Android 4.4.2 as stock and was not updated to Lollipop.

  • The OS of this cellphone Blu Studio X8 HD is 4.4.2 Kit Kat

  • I can't get my password in my BLU to open it

  • how are the steps on the settings to change the apns on this phone? I can see nothing on More Wireless & Networks this its grayedout!

  • I got dis phone early dis year and now its up with a problem it doesn't seem to b working normal now if I turn it on it doesn't boot up instead it gets over heated and start smelling like its burning from inside out why is it like dat I want a new one back

  • network edge...really ..its so slow have u not heard 3G or 4th generation network 4G

  • why 2g only

  • a hole smart phone bul like dis only have 2g, rather make it java

  • Can anything be done to edge network setting...? i wish there is a way...

  • What can of phone is this 2g in this computer age Blu you need to change some of you products make it up to standard cause blu studio X8 is not up to standard ..

  • Good as this phone looks, you has to make it 2G. WHY???

  • This phone die the people that make this phone dose not have sense my little broda of 5 years old regeted the phone very slow in browsing and others

  • the most useless phone i have ever come in to contact with. what a slow phone? not even good enough to be given to my 100 years old grandmother

  • PER BLU CUSTOMER SUPPORT 03/06/17: "The Studio X8 HD will only work on 2G networks." My purchase would not connect to AT&T. After several unsuccessful attempts at fixes per BLU's instruction, finally today's rep gave me the answer, AT&T discontinued 2G service on their network. This is probably at the bottom of all the complaints about the phone's slow operation.

  • Unlike any other phone iv used this phone is slow and annoying

  • Can use other apps like hangout, gmail etc without connecting to wifi. Why?

  • i don´t recomend it , is very slow, if you can get another, do it, im regreat to by this phone

  • inserted sim and it's not showing the network , could some please Tell how to rectify this issue.....soon

  • Has only 2G technology, which AT & T is cancelling in 2017.

  • I agree the edge really moves slow

  • the camera its good?

  • This phone is beyond amazing, and what makes it so amazing? The fact that for only 50 bucks, you get an incredibly well made phone. The HD is no misleading advertising, the screen looks beautiful and the colors display beautifully as well. The phone and apps run very smoothly, though there are apps this phone will simply not run, such as Angry Birds 2 and Orbit, and some such as Brain Dots, will run with a lot of lag, but the vast majority run fine. The battery lasts A LOT, and it does not overheat whatsoever, I've played all sorts of apps for one hour straight and the tempeture remains the same. If there's something I don't like (and it is not an actual problem) is that when you set the brightness to the lowest, it's still too bright, and this is kind of annoying when you're in your bed in the dark and want to use it. The same with the volume, when it's at the lowest it's still too high. But overall is an amazing phone, when you have a phone like this it makes you realize that you don't need to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars to get an excellent phone. 5/5

  • can't you I do anything about the edge?? its too slow Gosh!

  • Hello, I have this phone and has android 4.4.2, they know how to update to 5.1?

  • The only thing going for this phone is the camera quality, I don't have to use an editor.

  • the sim card I inserted, but still can not see the network. !!!! any one had experienced this problem

  • No its not. I just got one and its has 5.1 Lollipop

  • The internet setting is so not cool. My Alcatel was faster. The edge setting need to go what about HSDPA my whatsapp call are crappy

  • OS means operating system, and kitkat is the name of an old android OS.

  • What does os and kitkat means

  • The OS of this phone is still on kitkat

  • How would they make a phone without UMTS or HSPA+ now a days? I

  • They can't be serious in making a device with an Octa-core processor to run only on 512MB of RAM. Multi-tasking would be a helluva thing for this device.
