  • No options that lets me update..

  • No it is not true that buying a second SIM card will increase the memory. What you need is a MicroSD card. That will increase the memory of the phone.

  • My son wants us to buy the second SIM card for his phone because he thinks it will give him more memory. Is this true? I thought it was just for adding another number.

  • Memory card locked, releases in i manager

  • Any help is greatly appreciated. Here's what happened. I tried to update my phone from stock ics to jb 4.1. and downloaded the update file v7 should be v6. So i wiped out factory reset, cache as per instruction, then apply update file from sd card, while processing, error message appear. my fault i did not write down the 3 line error messages, i thinnk error 7, etc., then Installation Aborted. Now the only option i have is to re-boot and unfortunately, my phone now unusable coz stuck on blu logo everytime i turn it on. Again, any help to put my phone back to normal again, would be appreciated.

  • You should ask [email protected]. That is BLU's tech support team. They are very helpful.

  • You are wrong the phone will work in the USA and depending on the model you choose is whether you will have access to the 3G/4G depending on the carrier.

  • That is a question for BLU's tech support team, here is their email address. [email protected]

  • Just make sure that you use Stereo TRS headsets.

  • does this phone work with the Bell frequency system?

  • But you can change ROM between D910i and D910a on ROOT mode here is the link this a great ROM in the page number 12 you have D910a version that same ROM... all are Jelly Bean 4.1.1

  • yes indeed, the problem with low mic volume is hardware. since i bought my vivo 4.3 last year, i used bluetooth headset when i call. otherwise, people at the other end have a hard time hearing me. so hardware not software issue.

  • They dont sell the correct ones for the Blu Vivo 4.3 (any longer) and that website is crap and holds only few products.

  • For European calls (Italian sim) you need the D910i version of this phone. Unfortunatly that version one will not work with an American sim since these sims require the D910a model of the phone.

  • Will this phone work with Italian SIM cards in Italy? And with United States SIM cards in the us? I live in Italy but I travel the US to visit family! Thank in advance!

  • How can I screenshot?! I accidentally did it once but can't figure it out now!! Help!

  • make sure to contact blu and get the update, i udated mine in it is SO much better!!!!

  • You can go to xdadevelopers to see the solution to the low mic volume.

  • The solution to the low mic volume

  • This phone has better specs than the iphone 5

  • Yes it has. 1.3 mp

  • Check your mms profile And service center no.

  • there was a video recording problem in 4.0.3 was it fixed in 4.1.1?

  • Yes this phone does have a front facing camera for skyping or using Oovoo. I love this phone and it already has been upgraded to 4.1.1 Jellybean OS. I've owmed this phone for 5 weeks now and I love it. Got it on amazon.com dirt cheap. Here's the link:

  • yes it does, and a really good one I might say

  • I got a leather pouch from a store in the UK, It's really nice and adds style to the phone, best of all it goes for around $8.00, look for it on ebay, use the following keywords "pull tab leather pouch blu vivo". hope it helps

  • does this have a front facing camera?

  • i had this phone for a while, and i am tired seeing blue and green background on threaded text messages. anybody know how to change to different color, i.e. any color but blue and green? thank you..

  • Is this phone CE- approved? I need to know because otherwise i cant order it to Europe. Thank You

  • When I try to send a mms it says "transmission failed" why?! I can receive them just fine but can't send them. Help please!

  • I can receive mms but can send them.. help please!

  • how can I get this phone

  • i bought a vivo 4.3 today but each time i dial the screen goes out but the phone is still on ,am talking to the person but i cant do anything until they hang up then the phone screen comes back in help

  • I emailed Blu about the update and they replied in less than a week with full instructions and the update file. I emailed them on [email protected] Ask them and they'll send you what you need to know.

  • Got a great buy on Amazon and bought a H2O (ATT) sim card (actually 3 of them) for 11 cents each. Succesfully registered it and it's working just fine. Still trying to figure out all of its capabilities. My contracted Iphone soon will be history!

  • PLEASE. Check UPDATE JB 4.1.1 USERs D910a here:

  • No, not yet. I'm not in the States and can't dial the number given in the press conference. I'm hoping someone here will go through the procedure and share with the rest of us.

  • you installed the update?

  • Guys, Jelly Bean update available for Vivo 4.3!

  • You only need to use one, but you have the option of using a second if you want to.

  • Excellent! I have straight talk and was wondering if I had to actually have two sims cards for it to work? or can I just put one in.

  • Could you post the values

  • I just got the Vivo 4.3 and I currently have service with ATT GoPhone. Does anyone know how to set up the mobile network settings? I need this so I can send and receive MMS and to browse the web. Currently I cannot browse the web via 3G nor send or receive MMS messages. Any help will be appreciated.

  • you dont need data connection or internet if you rigister the phone with google mail the mail and passward woud be saved in the phon so the phone will verify it from its storage

  • Can this phone create an hot-spot?

  • This has "Normal" or regular SIM card slots Sim Slot #1 - tied in to the 3G Sim Slot #2 - tied in to the 2G Both will work simultaneously or partial of each other if you specify (either or both) for Phone calls, SMS/Messaging & Data. Works well with StraightTalk.

  • yes.

  • I was researching other matters and then I came across this. I think you MUST SEE this. It's in Russian, but use google translator.

  • I was researching other matters and then I came across this. I think you MUST SEE this. It's in Russian, but use google translator.

  • Does this phone use standard sized sim cards? or the smaller types like the Iphone 4s that I have?

  • Does this phone also have hotspot capability?

  • thanks now mic volume is ok with mtk tools but how to increase in call volume I.e. speakers volume thanks in advance

  • Please how can i unlock my Blu vivi phone. My wife was playing with the screen unlock pattern, she did not know this could lock the phone. The phone is requesting for my google account user's name and password,I have turned off the internet data connection before going to bed. The phone in this state cannot connect to the internet to confirm my google account. How can i unlock it.

  • this app mobileuncle mtk tools works! I was able to change the parameters to 160 of my vivo 4.3. since I bought my phone last year, sept. 2012, I had issues with the phone mic. I use this phone mainly for calling and sms. I have no problem with reception, sending text whatsoever. The only problem i've experienced is the mic volume or audio sound quality. Ninety percent at a time when calling, the person receiving my call claims that either my voice is low, some says the audio is garbled. This happens only when calling using the phone mic itself. However, this problem can be prevented by using bluetooth headset instead.

  • Download Mobileuncle MTK Tools! Open the program, go to MTK Engineer Mode -> Audio Headset Mode -> Max in Vol => 0 ~ 160, put the value of 160 and Set. - Restart Your Phone, Volume for the Connection -> go MTK Engineer Mode -> Audio, Normal Mode, Max Vol 0 ~ 160, put the value of 160 and Set. - Restart Your Phone, Be careful and not messing in other configs, it can break your phone, each does so at your own risk.

  • Yes you can - I am using it with my AT&T sim card with no issues :-)

  • If the blu vivo is an unlocked cell can I use my att sim card?

  • hi i bought the blu vivo 4.3 its a very good phone >>>> galaxys2 but i need know about jelly bean update :P

  • Hello Anir. Thank you for your interest in BLU Products. You can buy this phone online at www.expansys-usa.com or www.amazon.com.

  • this code does not work with this phone. i tried it and nothing happens. thanks anyway..

  • + Microphone Volumen *#*#3646633#*#* Enginer Mode Audio/Normal Mode/Type/Microphone Good Luck

  • This phone is the S2 with a cheaper price tag. Its a must have if you ever want a great ICS phone under your belt.

  • No solution for the mic from BLU BLU doesn't have own technical service. They do it through the distributors... I reduce my vote for BLU to trash Sorry

  • wow from a far looks like an iphone 4 body

  • Great phone, wont hold 3g on simple moble, defaults to edge. When it is on 3g/4g, fastest phone i've seen. Screen great, camera even better.

  • Why my sim don't work?

  • My phone do not react to my sum card please help me

  • Mobile wonderful

  • The mic, speakers are very poorly designed. Poor audibility. You cant hear anything if you are inside a bus/car/moving in a bike. the memory card is below the battery. Battery is ok. except the calls (incoming/outgoing all other features are ok. Its a smartgadget not a phone!

  • Great phone but: 1. No Accessories and no parts 2. The charging port is on the top 3. there is a problem with the mic., everybody tells me that my voice is not loud enough. 4. the microSD card is inside the phone, not on the side like other phones, and is not easy to get to. I hope these things will be fixed in the future versions

  • Great Phone. Not mini sim tho. Got screwed buying a straight talk mini sim that did not work. Had to buy another sim.

  • DASH battery is only 11600 mAH. Which is the correct one for BLu VIVO 4.3 (1600 mah) Thanks

  • If somebody is thinking of buying this phone. Wait for VIVO 4.65 which is coming out this month!

  • I have a BLU Vivo 4.3 and a BLU Dash 3.5. This is a comparison and a review. There are several negatives about the BLU Vivo 4.3, and at the current pricing normally found (230+USD) I would have returned mine and stayed with the Dash 3.5 available everywhere for about 100USD. However, I paid USD150 and decided to keep it. Here are the negatives: 1. it is nowhere near a 4.3" screen, though this may happen in a lot of phones. The 4.3 includes the line of keys others don't (I don't know quite how to express this) such as return, menu, home.(The Dash 3.5's 3.5 does not include them.) I held it up to my Galaxy S2 and it's about an inch smaller, in the diagonal in usable space. This is also partly because it's so much narrower. That line of keys is impossible to see in any amount of daylight, though the amoled isn't bad. Not great but not bad. Since you can't see those keys, you truly have to use instinct (and placement memory) but they're in an order unlike other phones I've seen so it's a pain. So imho the Dash 3.5 is better in this respect. 2. None of the ram and rom specs appear to be accurate. 3. While the 3 filters for Applications (All, Recent and Running) are terrific to have, I am sick of closing apps I have never started, such as FB, Youtube, Maps etc. It also appears that nothing you ever open closes by itself. Opera and Browser have explicit exits. This wouldn't necessarily matter if there was enough memory on the phone but there isn't. The Dash 3.5 doesn't have all this stuff opening. 4. The Vivo 4.3 phone is sluggish, not only because of item 3. It just feels it especially using K9 email of all things, more so than the Dash 3.5 (which is single core 1ghz). The amoled screen may be part of this, I'm told. I don't expect to have to wait 30 seconds to empty trash of 10 emails. The good stuff: dual sim is great on both. Some of the integration is surprisingly thorough. I happen to like that Go Launcher though others have complained about it. I see it as a chance to alter the screen so I don't have to wear glasses while using the phone. I got extra batteries for both phones through Gus at 24hrsdeals.com (note that it is 24hrSdeals.com). They were not on his site at the time, so make sure you contact them directly. Some of these comments go for the Dash 3.5 too. I found its 2.3.6 to be fine for me for this type of phone.

  • 24hrsdeals.com got me spare batteries. This was both for the VIVO 4.3 and the Dash 3.5. No one else had the correct ones, and in fact, Blu itself pointed me towards sites which don't have the right ones.

  • Please help as the voice headset Tel Low Is a way to modify the sound ramp

  • is it a good phone ?

  • Where is it available in India?

  • if anyone having any idea about how to upgrade the OS from ICS to Jelly Bean in Blu Vivo 4.3 could you please share the information. I would like to upgrade in my Vivo 4.3 phone. Thanks Raja

  • after reaching 99% charge it is taking more than 5 Hrs to reach 100%

  • Could you tell where it's possible to buy Spare Battery Model number: C594604160T 3.7 V 1600mAh 5.92Wh

  • Unable to add more than 6 FM Stations and Audio is not coming if we run MP4 movies.

  • I'm interesting in this question too.

  • Hi, Audio is not coming while running MP4 movies. can you share if you have any information on how to enable audio while running movie? or pls share the list of movie format supported in blu vivo 4.3 Thanks Raja

  • even after 20 hrs completed the battery is not getting 100% reached in off mode. is there any better work around for this issue? Thanks Raja

  • If anyone having hands-on exeprience on how to upgrade from ICS to Jelly Beans in Blu Vivo 4.3 could you please share the information? Thanks Raja

  • Hey Dont compare the Blu Vivo 4.3 with Micromax A90.. Blu is an American Standard company... Micromax is a China based company Standards are differ among them And basic diff is Micromax A90 has 1GH china chpiset not dual core also And it has very poor cam quality front camera is just VGA But Blu vivo has Mediatek 6577 1.2 GH Dual core processor And cam Quality is Very Nice and front is 0.3Mp Quality of the product is also Much better than Micromax A90.. By jan 10 Blu vivo 4.3 will be in Indian Market.. Micromax Just copied the Blu Vivo model But they cannot copy the Quality of the Product..

  • Hello All, This phone doesn't have 1GB RAM instead it's having only 512MB and ROM also it's not 4GB as given in the specification it's having only 3GB ROM.If you really want a phone with the same configuration you go for Micromax A90S. it's ditto. even the case of Micromax A90S is 100% perfect for Blu VIVO 4.3 and moreover don't buy from ebay they have given the wrong description. Micromax A90S price is Rs.12999/- only but Blu Vivo 4.3 is Rs.17,000/-. Blu is taking more than Sever (7) hours to get full charge every time. so my humble request to all of you is dont' buy blu vivo 4.3 via ebay instead get micromax a90s, we can save Rs. 5000/- and we will get 1 year warranty. Thanks Raja

  • Breto, sorry, but unfortunately I forgot where I saw how to fix sound & mix problems Blu Vivo. I only remember that they fix it with engineering menu. And I remember that they change it only a little cause it's not very good for speaker or mic

  • Man....that is not a BLU and menu of MTK6577 in BLU in diferent as the one which appears in the video. NO help, but thanks.

  • are they dual sim?

  • I'm NOT a hater, but why, oh why, would you get this inferior phone to the Pantex Burst. OR the Pantech Flex which is even better. BOTH can be found with a bit of effort for less than this phone. AND much better specs... IMHO CIAO

  • Hi All, I saw the specifications. It is saying 512MB RAM. Other site is given as 1GB RAM. Which one is correct?? How is the phone performance? sound? display and camera clarity and batter backup?? can this phone is upgradable to jelly bean? i am staying in chennai tamilnadu. Where i can get this phone? Anyone please reply for all my questions

  • Breto, I heard about this kind of problems. Some people solve it with engineering menu But I'm don't think it's a very good idea

  • EmeraldReporter, maybe you are right. Maybe it's just coincidence, that both phones have very like specifications, size & they have very like problems. I think this kind of question will be better ask BLU. Couse we can only guess

  • People hears me like if i were in a box and with low volume. BLU says I have to reinstall software, but i dont't believe...

  • Unable to add more than 6 FM Stations. can someone suggest how to add more than 6 FM stations? Thanks Raja

  • What kind of problem do you have with the mic then?works fine here...

  • What kind of problem do you have with the mic then?works fine here...

  • No, don't lie. BLU is an American company. MICROMAX is a Chinese knockoff brand.

  • I liked this video that explains how to make root, language is Portuguese in Brazil. . Good video. .

  • Did anyone fix up the problem with the micro? I have instaled the UNCLETOOLS but i can´t change the volume of the mic. Thanks

  • Dont understand a word from it. I will check dev forums.

  • yin, thank for reply About battery I'd like to know exactly model couse i'd like to find SpareBattery (just in case)

  • yin, thank for reply About battery I'd like to know exactly model couse i'd like to find SpareBattery (just in case)

  • as I understand Micromax A90S and Blu Vivo it's almost the same/ It's OEM

  • Vídeo Root Blu Vivo 4.3 .

  • Ivan, Next time please check the specifications will ya? It says it has a 1600mAh battery. As far as i can on the label of the battery in my phone, its a Chinese make. When first using the phone, the battery runs flat quite fast. The performance increases with time and also by using battery saving apps such as "JuiceDefender".

  • Try Amazon.com. Besides, next time read before you post please. This has been asked and mentioned a few times before. Furthermore, GOOGLE is your friend. Good luck.

  • Have this phone since a week or 2. Must say its a great bang for the buck, though the OS is a bit unstable. For example, adding an app-shortcut to the main screen makes the OS crashing back to desktop time after time. On the other hand, dual sim works perfectly (i have 1 sim working on 2G only used for making phonecalls and sending text messages and 1 sim working on 3G data only) and though the phone lacks the Wifi-n, im experiencing no download issues (e.g. speed) whatsoever. I also dont have any problems with the volume as mentioned by other users before me. The battery got drained pretty fast at the beginning but there are some apps out there that can make it last longer. Though it is quite annoying that same apps restart over and over again on the background though you killed them using the so called "App killer". Thinking about rooting the phone so i can enter dev. settings and killing a lot of those pre installed apps and 3D games that i never use or play. In overall.. for those that are looking for an affordable smartphone with decents specs, this phone is simply great. Its fast, light weighted and has a nice appearance. Some say the backcover feels a bit plastified, i dont agree. In fact, it has some sort of rubber coating that makes the grip much thighter.

  • Sure.. I will send it U. Please send a mail to [email protected] In the subject field mention as NFS MOST WANTED Thanks, Ashok kumar A.

  • yes im useing 1sims card in sim 2g

  • Tel supports the Arabic language in everything specifically Model d910i

  • does it support Arabic language, or is it possible to have the keyboard working with both arabic and English???

  • Could you please tell me what kind of battery(model) inside BLU Vivo? (Just in case if I would like to find Spare Battery)

  • I'm from Egypt and purchased the device from the America I knew that possible a number of companies in Egypt possible you bring thee I think the most expensive in the limits of a thousand pounds for America.Device excellent but there are some flaws first no guarantee Secondly lighting the screen is relatively weak specifically in sunlight Third lack of any accessories such as pod (back cover) or protective screen finally in total is a device over the excellent compared بالم&­;#1578;اح of all other brands in general if endowed knowmuch information as possible leave your phone number and will talk to you again

  • I am in Egypt and want to have blu viovo 4.3. Can I have it shipped to me here and from which country. Pls answer me i need to have it urgently.

  • I am in Egypt. How can I buy this handset cause i like it and need to have one. Is it possible to have it shipped to me here in Cairo and from which country? Waht are procedures

  • Hi. Vivo will be my first smartphone. So, tell me please is it possible update Vivo with any new android? (Ice Cream 4.0.4 or Jelly Bean 4.2.1 or future versions)

  • Couple of questions. Anyone experienced the same issues or know a solution? Plz let me know. 1. When I select a contact from the Call Log to call him/her, I always get "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped", forcing me to go into Contacts everytime I want to call a person. 2. Display is coming loose in upper left corner (Bad glue-job at factory?). 3. Incoming calls from contact sometimes do not show the name, but only the number. 4. NoLED app: When starting NoLED app, it says "You must enable NoLED in Acessibility Settings. Do you want to do that now?". When I click "yes", it takes me to "Accessibility" screen, but I don't see anything in that screen about NoLED. What's the deal here? (PS: I'm new to Android). 5. Sometimes the phone will do a spontaneous hot reboot ("Hot" as in: Not cold, so not having to re-enter SIM pin-numbers etc.).

  • wont work in india need D910i

  • blu sent me the manual when i requested it. but you're not really missing out on a lot :-) it's only a few pages.

  • Hi. Could you please tell me Where can I find Drivers & User Manual BLU Vivo 4.3? Thanks

  • Just got off the phone with the India distributor. He now says the phone won't be officially available in India before 5th January 2013 !

  • i had this phone since sept. when it came out the market. nice phone very light and thin. since then i have just one issue, the mic volume. not loud enough in order for the other end to hear my voice properly, they barely could hear me when use for calling. however, if use with bluetooth headset, no problem whatsoever. is this a hardware or software issue?

  • can i use the phone with one sim/service

  • Battery operated for two full days with talk time of up to four hours Khalalalummen with the situation in mind Lock 3g for and was initially only one day when canceling screen Central device is very beautiful and meets all requirements accurately and he with me a month ago and a half ago the only problem there is no cover for the backdevice is protected from shocks or falling on the ground

  • I've had this phone for two days, and so far I have been quite satisfied with it. I have always wanted a smartphone, but the data plans in my country are ridiculously overpriced, so I have held off on buying one until now. The Blu Vivo has all the technology of a smartphone with the convenience of wifi capability that doesn't require me to be on a data plan. The dual sim was another feature that attracted me to this phone. Both sims are regular sized, and allows me to use my local sim and a Philippine sim. The unit is pretty lightweight; it almost feels like a toy. The camera is pretty impressive, too, because the picture quality was better than an iPod touch. I typically use the phone for texting, taking pictures, and browsing online. My only complaint about this phone so far is the battery life. With the typical activities that I use my phone for, the battery only lasts about a day on a full charge. I will probably look into purchasing an extra battery, just in case, but other than that, this phone is pretty awesome!

  • I live in St. Thomas and I also have this phone on at&t. It started to give problems accessing the phone book but since I put on edge no problems so far. Great phone great price great quality.

  • I have this phone for a month now, it works really great, no problems at all. It takes the most magnificent pictures ever. No mic problems etc. I live in the Caribbean so a lot of people don't think much about blu products, but they are blown away with my Blu Vivo 4.3. I totally love it.

  • Those phones where the hotspot feature is not enabled in the inherent ROM can use a very simple and popular external application called FoxFi. Go to www.foxfi.com

  • WiFi Hotspot is not a feature of a phone. It's a feature embedded within Android ICS. All wi fi enabled phones carrying Android ICS are capable of acting as Wi Fi hotspot.

  • This phones is not a Mini SIm , its a regular sim size phone i cut my sim just to buy an adopter when my phone arrive.. over all this phone is fast not some other china phone that crashes when you open up websites

  • Hi Sistla, What is the size of the SIM card used in this mobile? Is it like we should use only mini SIM? or SIM cards available in India will work? Thanks, Naveen

  • As per the info from atul it will be in indian market by 2012 dec 10th

  • It is Available in India ?

  • hi, just wanna have an info. is this BLU Vivo 4.3 available in Qatar. thanks a lot..

  • i emailed them and they said, "Good Afternoon, Thank you for contacting BLU Products, we are happy to serve you , this is to inform you that the VIVO 4.3 does have the hotspot feature Regards,"

  • I asked Blu about the hotspot feature and pasted their response below. "Good Afternoon, Thank you for contacting BLU Products, we are happy to serve you , this is to inform you that the VIVO 4.3 does have the hotspot feature Regards,"

  • Hi Could you please confirm that "NFS Most Wanted" is able to play in your device or not.. For this just Search this game in ur device's Google play.. If ur able to see this game in ur device's google play then v can confirm that this game is compatible vth ur device. Thanks, Ashok kumar A.

  • Yes, it does, since it has android ICS.

  • Here, check this video: (in russian, but you will get the idea). This is how you can change the volume settings after entering th Engineer mode of an MTK-based phone. I don't know if you have to be rrot, but it guess it might help.

  • I can´t change the volumen of the mic with Mobileuncle tools. The volume set doesn't admit changes, but you can see it. must i be root? Thanks

  • Hi can someone told me if this blu vivo has a capacity of portable hotspot to share the internet in other device? Thank you

  • It will work in Nepal but you'll need the D910i model if the 3G band is 900/2100.

  • S.It will work in ur Nepal also..

  • Does this phone work in Nepal? Our frequencies are 900/1800 for 2G and 2100 for 3G

  • Hi Sistla, Could you please confirm that "NFS Most Wanted" is able to play in your device or not.. For this just Search this game in ur device's Google play.. If ur able to see this game in ur device's google play then v can confirm that this game is compatible vth ur device. Thanks, Ashok kumar A.

  • Hi Ashok, I got D910i from US. And 3G is working fine. When you remove the battery, you will find the model number D910i on the back panel of the phone. Cheers, Sistla.

  • where can we buy this phone in india? thanks in advance

  • Blu have stated that they have no plans for a JB update for this one !

  • question. is the OS upgradable to jelly bean? any reply is appreciated...thanks.

  • both SIMs work simultaneously. that means you can receive a call on any sim at any time. there is no button to switch. the difference is, while you are on a call at SIM1 you wont receive another incoming call from SIM2, unless you finish your first call. Besides you are not able to switch between SIMs during a call. Also, there is an option to set if you want to send sms or make calls by default from one of them.

  • Tip to ROOT your BLU 4.3 with sucess! Access the link with tutorial: This instructions work to me. Other tip: in select model of script, select "Xperia T" and enjoy! Post your comment!

  • CAREFULLY so you do not be fooled!! The actual configuration of the memories of this phone are: RAM = 512MB ROM = 1GB To GSMAREANA Site: please change the specifications so that consumers are not misled because many rely on its site. Outside the memory part, is a good product. I recommend! Good buy (or goodbye? a play on words). Post your comment! The community is powerful!

  • Thanks for the valuable info.. Could you please tell me what are the two racing games that are came with the device.. And could you please confirm that in ur device is the Google play is able to display the games "NFS Most wanted", "Asphalt7", "Asphalt6", "NFS Hot Pursuit". Just search them in ur device and confirm please... And u said 3G is not working in ur device.. is it is working fine or not.. Thanks, Ashok kumar A.

  • All things you requested are in the specifications options right above the picture. At first the Ram, was 1GB, but later they made a clear corrections of the specifications and now is white clear, its 512 ram. I have one, and I have no complain about it. I suggest you to search in the opinion search options because all your request could be already answered there.

  • Dude this smart phone have 2 racing game install by default. If you read the espec, you will notice that the graphic stuff is capable for your request. I have one and i am very happy with it. It is dual sim active, it means that you dont have to change one sim for the other to active it for a call, both sim cards are active at the same time. And only you have to choose the sim card of your preference to dial a number. I suggest you to search in the option search for opinion because all your questions might be answered there.

  • Hey Rajan, Where did u bought this phone in India.. Could you please give this phone specifications like OS RAM ROM CAMERA CLARITY SKYPE VIDEO CALLS HD RACING GAMES FINALLY DEVICE PERFORMANCE... Thanks, Ashok kumar A.

  • Ok, thanks for replying, but for now do not expect the Nexus 4 this year. and will be for 2013, so I'm going to buy this phone. Greetings

  • Hi good morning, I is urgent to know if this phone supports dual sim thing as active, I do not like walking activating and deactivating the sim cards. if both sim cards work simultaneously? thanks for the answers in advance. excuse my English so poor, Greetings from Guanare, Venezuela

  • Hi Rajan, Could u please tell me how much internal memory(ROM) it has 4GB or less than 4GB.. And How much RAM it has 512MB or 1GB What is the version of ICS.. Is it has 4.0.4 or less than that.. Please tell me the above info... I am also ready to buy this MOBILE..

  • Where did u bought it.. How much cost in India.. How do we identify this device is D910i or D910a If ur device is D910a then this device does not accept 3G because it has frequency level upto 850/1900 only.. So check ur device model is it is D910a or D910i..

  • Hi Rajan, Could you please check the NFS Most wanted game is able to see in ur device's Google Play.. If ur able to see this in ur device's google play then that game is compatible to this device.. Thanks, Ashok kumar A.

  • Hi Friends, i using D910i in india, it is NOT accepting 3G network. if any one using D910i in india, please advise

  • 'Bezel' is not the right word I realised afterwards. But you guys will know what I mean I think.

  • Something else: The screen lies a bit lower than the surrounding border (bezel?). But I noticed on my phone, that the upper left corner of my screen is a bit loose, and sticks out above the surrounding border/bezel. I can push it back down, and then it'll stay down for a little while, but then it comes up again. Anyone else have this as well? I don't know how a screen is mounted to the base, but I sure hope the screen won't come off one day :-(

  • Okay, nevermind. I tried again today, with a different person, and this time it worked. Cool.

  • Richard, I installed Skype, but other side doesn't see my video (I can see theirs without problem). Is there anything special you had to do to get that working? Of course I enabled video calling in Skype, and the message says "although your device is not yet certified, video calling should work on your device", but video works only one way. When clicking on the videocam icon during Skype conversation, I see that video is turned off. I select "Front Cam", but no video. When I again click on the icon, it's still set to "Video off". So it seems to ignore my request for front cam (Same for back cam by the way). PS: Sound works fine both ways.

  • what is cost of this phone in $?

  • I really loved this mobile, very fast!!!

  • ls has 1GB ram? ln india where is available?

  • Anyone else having problems with messages? Out of every 10, at least 2 or 3 never reach the targeted phone number. I turned on the Message Delivery Report to keep an eye on which messages reach the target, and it pretty much confirmed that some messages were simply not reaching the targeted number. I realize this can be a network error but it's been going on for a while and it's starting to worry me.

  • Hi. Mr. MazZon. I forgot a question mark in my last post. It´s about a question from an option found in developers options. Thanks again for the support.

  • Mr MazZon, Hi. Looking in this phone I found in the developer options, app, an uncheck box with ´´don´t keep activities:´destroy every activity as soon as the user leaves it, if check this options could it help to maintain the battery charge a little bit more. And by the way blu vivo 4.3 is a great smart-phone.

  • Thanks MazZon for your support.

  • But rest of the specifications for this mobile is less than Blu vivo, this mobile does not have a front camera, No radio, No compass, No Gyro sensors, No GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and the back camera MP is less. Sure that the price will be more expensive Compare it totally with BLU VIVO to get best bang for the buck

  • got this for few days and would say it's pretty good based on the price. will try to root it. cheers

  • budget with mind satisfiction mobile

  • Thanks MazZon...

  • i meant ill wait for the HTC SU. see the specs here: i need the 1gb ram and its dual core.

  • If you root your Vivo you can install flash player. Mine is working on all browsers (ICS, firefox, Chrome and Dolphin. - To root VIVO go here: - To install flash player go here:

  • It's standby dual SIM not active and I'm sure, but it seems that you get the second on the same SIM

  • When you run the new launcher the old one will not have any impact, by the way you can't uninstall the old go launcher because it's fixed with the ROM And I've noticed that the new go launcher is draining the battery but less than the old one

  • sexy phone

  • dont understand very well but I have to sims card on this smartphone and one day I was having a call with one of them, and I heard a bip like second line call trying to get in. It is not what you explained is no working or is a different thing?

  • Hi. Mr MazZo, I downloaded it, but checking deep the smart-phone I saw the old version of go launcher was in background, could that still drain the battery of blu vivo 4.3. or maybe I have to uninstall this old one first and then install the new one?. Thanks for your support.

  • friend,please review about CF benchmark& Antutu benchmark results.... the above application to download from google play store... this application results is more important about this BLU vivo4.3 performance....

  • Are you mean this mobile is expensive!!! and you would wait until it becomes cheaper!!!!!! If so, you will not buy any mobile and you will spend your life waiting... Don't consider my opinion a criticism but advice you

  • hi mazZon please instal CF benchmark & Antutu benchmark from goggle play store and get these benchmark results... this is more important about this device performance... please review man as soon as possible .....

  • I Agree with you "Me", I'm here just to helping people to know the features of this mobile, I'm not seller in BLU company, and I don't care if anyone buy the phone or not!!!

  • Hello myra I did a simple test, but initially I couldn't run flash on this mobile because all apps I installed required adobe flash plugin, while this plugin is not available for this mobile. Maybe there is work around solution, you must google it

  • Battery their phone does not last more than 8 hours even though I do not use the Wi-Fi or lan and talk time of no more than one hour with the descent of modern applications are you all kind as well or is it battery My only if there is some kind of batteries appreciate buy it beidentical with Tel give more positive results and I can rely seriously to Tel wish more suggestions Thanks

  • Their phone battery does not last more than 8 hours although I do not use the Wi-Fi or lan and talk time of no more than one hour with the descent of all modern applications

  • We dont'care if you buy the phone or not, we are not sellers or from BLU company, we are here to help people out. We also don't care if are going to buy Nexus 4 or other mobile, keep to yourself. We are here to talk about Vivo 4.3. But for me not anymore, you are just nagger who wants the word for a cheap price...

  • Hi MazZon, Is this phone support flash? Thank you...

  • Hi, I want to buy this phone but i m not satisfied by this specification. please upload full review with english subtitles or hindi in youtube.

  • Looks like its the HTC su for me. waitin to see if price come down.

  • I am glad I waited before buying Blu vivo 4.3 Yooo hooo Google Nexus 4 is out and I hear it only 299 !!! Coming to our country on 25th November ... Sorry Blu Vvio 4.3 I don't hate u. But I can't ignore top of the line specs and shockingly low price of Google Nexus 4 !!!

  • I bought mine there's a couple of weeks on Expansys website. I'm fully satisfied since then. I also read that it was 1Gb of RAM but it's not. Blu Products has not written it was, but several specialized sites did. It's only half of that but I don't care. It's cheap and well done. A very good product at my sense.

  • I got mine since three weeks. I confirm: it's not 1GB of RAM. It's only half of that. A very satisfying phone for the price. I don't regret my purchase.

  • Thanks for verification on site and pleasant reply of each of my question.

  • Why is this phone suddenly have 512GB RAM when it had 1Gb ram few days back. Those who have pls confirm.

  • You can install Mobileuncle tools and go to engineer mode. There you can volume up the microphone. The lowest setting value, the highest volume. Google it!

  • I got this email: Hi Mazzon, I read your posting on the site GSMArena on the phone BLU LIVE 4.3. I'm from Brazil and I will soon buy this phone, you have some criticism about it? The battery lasts well? I would like if you can put up a video on the internet on the phone taking photos, using applications and games. Thank you for your attention. --------- Dears, please don't send inquiries to my email, this page is created for this purpose, and we all want to take advantage of your opinions and reviews, so I will not reply any inquiry email Now Go back to answer the question: The main criticism for this mobile, the ROM is not rooted that's mean you don't have administrator privileges to do important tasks like backup and restore and install special apps need superuser privileges and OS updates and so on. but there is developers on xda-developers.com working on solving this disadvantage Also the accessories is not available for it but samsung galaxy S2 accessories is semi-fit it Yes The battery lasts very well, the capacity is 1600mAh, mean it's more efficient than iPhone5 battery 1440mAh. and you can refer to my comment "how to save battery power"

  • Thanks MazZon...

  • :( Yes I read it, bluproducts indicated "true dual SIM capability allowing both SIMs to be active and receive calls simultaneously" and this is not true. Unfortunately bluproducts announced for many misleading specs while they don't need for this cheap announcing method, because this mobile is top dual SIM mobile and you really achieve "bang for the buck" in this mobile

  • Hi kuku Yes I had tried skype and yahoo messenger on my vivo 4.3, both very nice, and for sure you can make video calls using front or back camera, it's more than enough to me I would like to upload a video in youtube but sorry this need alot of time and I'm very busy but if you like to do live test for skybe video calls just send me your skybe account and the GMT time to contact you :) my email is [email protected], I'm almost available at 5pm - 9pm

  • People the blu vivo is great... just loving it, downloaded a lot of themes and wall paper, battery lasts long enough... soooo not regretting buying this phone.. Sorry for other people who have problems but its the best....

  • Plz go bluproduct.com>news>see latest buzz(heading)>select read more on blu vivo4.3>see the last two line of fourth paragraph. I thank vry much for ur reply and information.

  • I forgot to mention the 4th tip: to save battery power adjust screen brightness settings to automatic And there is new modify about "Go launcher": they are released new version "3.18" in October 27, 2012 called "Go launcher EX" , in this release they fix many bugs like drain battery, but you can't update the old one so you have to download it from play store

  • - Nope, its not dual active SIM, and the link you indicated was not open, I was searched bluproduct.com for any indicate for dual active but they didn't, even they didn't mention for what the dual SIM kind is, - Unfortunately there is no mobile having facility of dual active and all blu vivo 4.3 features or more

  • Man, you are just a nagger. Richard is helping people here and now you are just anoying every one. Why don't you buy Vivo and post a review yourself and stop asking about...

  • MazZon, have you tried using the skype in your phone? Is it ok if you can upload a video in youtube? I just wanna see if it lags or not... thank you....

  • I am disabling live wallpaper and I am already using static wallpaper

  • Well Richard, I guess I win. Poor you... people asking for video reviews in youtube... so they are to see is to believe too...

  • So its not dual active! Blu product fool us.. Plz see the link In this link they mention blu vivo 4.3 almost seem as dual active. Then which mobile having facility of dual active and all blu vivo 4.3 feature? Because im waiting long time and searched lot of mobile but no use. Now i hopeless!

  • Download (camera I.C.S.) in play store has flash on video

  • Thanks Richard. i have ordered this phone. i will post something when it gets delivered.

  • For save battery power and stop battery draining follow these tested tips: 1- As "Me" said, change "wp clock" wallpaper to any picture, but if you like it and you see it useful you can use "easy clock" widget it's same look and functions. 2- replace "Go launcher" with another free one, go launcher is the most battery killer app, try Nova launcher, it is useful and more battery power saver. 3- Wait... there is more: for more save battery power use battery manager apps and the best one is "juice defender" Wish you long life battery power :)

  • That would be great if you can upload review in english and skype too. Thank you.

  • Disable BLU clock, it drains a lot of battery. Just use a picture for wallpaper, any live wallpaper will drain battery much faster.

  • i bought this mobile one week ago it is ok in every thing exept 1- flash not working in video recording 2- battery was ok in first 3 days then i did factory reset without data restore since then battery is draind in 7 hours only without data or wifi connection on review cell standby process take 50% from battery usage any fix for this? 3- is there is any way to let certain name to appear by default if contact have multiple joined accounts with different names?

  • Thanks a lot for the info Richard.. Will really appreciate it if you can upload a phone review video on you tube.. :))

  • The phone has 1GB internal memory plus a 4GB microSD card. This is for you to store aplications, music, pictures etc. It has 500MB memory RAM, but like I wrote before, this is enough for this phone, the aplications open very fast, you can open multiple apps and dosen't freeze.

  • Hi Richard, Could you please throw some light reg. how much RAM and ROM is user available ???

  • The phone is 500mb RAM.

  • You have to see to belive, that's OK. But don't come here asking if something works to get a answer that it does works and then ask for a video to belive. This is just to dumb. If you are not going to belive in the answer just don't ask. PERIOD.

  • Richard please tell me, is the RAM of the Blu Vivo 4.3 1gb or 500mb?

  • If Wi-Fi is only b/g mean any problem or will work fine???

  • Richard, You really don't understand the meaning of "To see is to believe". I don't care if its windows mobile, android, IOS, or symbian... as long as there is a video. Hope you understand what's the meaning of "To See is To Believe."

  • I was tested call two sim cards at same time and it's also indicated in the specification, it's dual stand-by, that's mean this kind allows two sim cards to be on standby waiting for a call. When a call is established on one sim card, the other is no longer active (the caller will got message that the mobile number you are calling is off)

  • If you where smart enough (you probably are not) you would see that any Android 4 device with minimum requirements makes skype video calls (like I said before, just google it). Do you have Vivo 4.3, did you test skype video call? Why are you making others belive that doesn't not work? I will not post a video just to make you belive me that it works. I tested mine and is working, If you don't belive that don't buy it, but don't say it doesn't work. So why don't you post a video that skype don't work or shut tha F. UP.

  • Has anyone figured out a way around the low microphone volume?

  • kuku, i agree on you. You are the kind of person that's... to see is to believe. Maybe Richard P. thought you are a person who believes first then see... In this case... me too... I have to see first before I believe... Poor Richard trying to convince kuku that skype really work...

  • Does anyone know where to buy screen protect fo BLU Vivo 4.3? The one from protectionfilms24.com dosent fit perfectly. Already tried.

  • For all who asking about the appropriate model (D910A or D910I) for their country 3G network, you can check your country 3G network on the following websites:

  • YA BASHA, unfortunately it's the wrong model number for egypt 3G network , you must choose D910I :(

  • Yes it's available on eBay: And Amazon: And Negri Electronics: Notes Model number before you place an order, you must choose D910I for India 3G network

  • from where i can buy this...???? plz.. reply me

  • FYI, this method also works to root the Vivo 4.3 Mine was rooted with this and it works perfectly. Greets!

  • Sorry mate but no. If you don't belive that it works, don't come here asking if does, OK.

  • Is this dual active mobile? we make call on sim1 and if anybody trying sim2. What should it show whether "call waiting or not reachable"?

  • Hey Friendz Blu Vivo 4.3 Available in India??? Or Any Website For Buy This

  • I will receive mine(D910a) in 10 days in Egypt.Will it work good in my area(3g)

  • The phone has 1GB internal memory and comes with a 4GB microSD card. So you will have 5GB of memory. You can change the SD card to up 32GB.

  • Richard P, Is it ok if you can post a video in youtube for skype video calling to your pc? Thank you so much Richard P. I would appreciate that...

  • Hi Richard, Could you please confirm me the Internal Memory? Is it really 4GB? Thanks, Naveen

  • Skype video works very well, you can either use Wi-fi or 3G.

  • Don't worry about that guy Richard. Keep up the good work ! I am placing an order for D9190i today as u recommended for Indian 3G networks. I am really excited now, as u guys have said that it's a breathtaking phone, especially at this price point !

  • Sorry, but this is not the place to be arguing about this, people come here to read opinions about the Mobiles to decide to buy or not. I myself look here before buy a new one and try to help others to make their decision. So if you have any more question on how to root or make a back up go to the link I gave you, there we can help you. And please don't tell everyone that Vivo can't have ClockworkMod after I told that is possible and we are going to share how to. You just have to patient.

  • OK thanks Richard for this lecture in "the how" lesson I know how to "google it" and the proof that I'm here, but the humans had different skills and abilities, and I know how to read and I was read all you posted, but I'm new user on android, this phone is the first android OS I Got ever, I got it before just 10 days ago, that why I didn't understand all you posted, as well as I'm not developer, and you volunteered to answer any question that you thanks for I noticed that you turned the user opinions and reviews into personal form, we didn't know each other, but I must respect you and evaluate your skills and handle and comment upon it Anywhy, thanks all for help, and sorry if I bothering you all

  • Richard P, I would like to know if skype video chatting works in this phone... Just let me know and ill stop asking. Thanks...

  • You don't know how to google it and don't know how to read. If you read all the information in the link that I posted, you would know that we got ClockworkMod to work on Vivo 4.3 and will be sharing this week on XDA. So please don't come here asking for information that was already given to you.

  • Thanks Richard, My BLU Vivo 4.3 is rooted :) But now it's got risky, because any incompatible apps will cause ROM damage. Still have problem in backup my ROM using "ROM Manager" apps, Unfortunately VIVO 4.3 does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet, does anyone have any solution or work arround to backup Vivo 4.3 ROM Richard please don't reply google it :) because I do it Thanks in advance to all

  • How to root BLU Vivo 4.3 link: ,please read everything first, then if you have any questionn please fell free to ask.

  • Dear Richard P. I google it many times, but I didn't found any trusted link to rooted this phone I can't try any idea in my phone , in case any fault I will lose my phone please help us and give us trusted link by the way what is your nick name in XDA-developers forum finally, I hope after you sharing how to got access to VIVO ROM on XDA, please share the link here Thanks for your effors

  • True

  • I need Blu VIVO 4.3 How can I get it in Egypt?

  • For India the phone you have to buy is Vivo 4.3 D910i, India uses HSDPA 2100 for 3G.

  • Dear Richard No one has helped us here in India. We are not sure which version will work with 3G networks here, D910a or D910i ? plz clarify that and I will place an order !

  • The 512MB is not an issue with this phone. It's super fast to open all aplications, even heavy games, and doesn't freeze like some Sansung that I had. I forgot to write in my last post, don't expect BLU products to give VIVO ROM software to any one, no company does. But we have sucessufully got acess to VIVO ROM using CWM and will be sharing next week on XDA.

  • Hi, To all of you who wants to root their Vivo please google it. There is a lot of information and how to in XDA-developers forum. Me and others can help you there.

  • I think u are not really understanding the 'bang for the buck' u are getting here. The wrong claim of 1 GB RAM and the other one about 4GB ROM is more likely to be the work of an overexcited young employee of the company given charge of the website. I know it's uncalled for, but it's bad checks and not bad intention. Remember it's a small and very young company, and don't expect superhuman things, We all make errors. I know a company shouldn't, especially on its website, but I am willing to forgive them. For me even 1 GB ROM is more than enough. RAM issue worried me more, but I have checked a lot, many many 512 MB android phones with only a single core processors clocked at 1 GHz have been runaway succsses. So I am not overly worried, Would be great if it were 1GB but I can live with 512 at this price I am far more worried about build quality, coz that is the thing where small companies save on money. We all know where processors and critical hardware is made, and no phone company manufactures then inhouse. Same goes for touchscreens. Those things I am not worried about. I still think it's an awsome phone to buy at 250 bucks. The combo of dual core and dual sim with SUPERAMOLED 4.3 did me in ! I also wish they launch a Windows Phone 8 version of Blu vivo 4.3 soon ! That would be just mind blowing at 300 bucks !

  • Hi, I have tried everything. All tools / app did not working. Also I have no root rights to schange some android settings directly. My location is Germany, retourning the phone to US shop + other costs are same as a total damage. I got a service request answer direct from blu "It is not possible to change mic volume". So I must live eith it until I found out to root the system.

  • All My conversation e-mails with BLU company: I sent BLU this email: 1- Is there any suit for this cell phone? 2- where can I upgrade cell phone ROM? 3- is there ROM to upgrade over windows 7? and Blu answered me: This to inform you that we don�t have any suit or software update for this phone then I replied them: Send me the original ROM which installed on it, because if any installed app or any virus cause damage in the ROM software, I will throw the cell phone in the garbage!!! and they answered: We are not allow to give out this type of information directly to the customer, in this case please contact your distributor for any software or warranty purpose then I replied: I'm highly disappointed the RAM is 512MB not 1GB and the ROM is 1GB not 4GB (your website indicate 4GB for internal memory) How is that!!! is it misleading specifications!!! in addition you don't have any suit or software update for this phone!!!! and they answered: We Apologizes for the inconvenience , apparently this is an error on the web site , we will fixed it shortly FINISH Can we call this fake company and fraud!!!!??

  • Thanks kiki... i really can't wait... :)

  • Sorry to hear about your experience with Negri. I have purchased 3 Blu Vivo's from them, one first then two later and received them all within a week of ordering and I am in New Zealand.

  • Hi I haven't download skype as yet, but will download it and see if it works, will let you know.

  • I wish BLU would upgrade vivo to jelly bean.....

  • I will like to post a video but not great at the whole you tube thing, but might give it a try......Still loving my phone :P

  • Hi khaldoun, I'm from Saudi Arabia, and I bought this phone, yes it's support Arabic language (writing and reading) 100% but dosen't support Arabic in menus If you would like to get one please take a look to my advertising at this like:

  • Hi "Richard P." my phone is not rooted, how you made your phone rooted, do you used special apps. or is it originally by BLU?

  • Hi "Richard P.", How is your phone is rooted!!! my Blu vivo 4.3 in not rooted!!! Is it rooted originally by BLU or you used special apps?

  • I was seriously considering to order this phone but I'm already highly disappointed. The RAM is 512MB not 1GB, The ROM is 1GB not 4GB (seems like manufacturer fraud to me, cos on BLU website it says 4GB of internal memory). I wouldn't have minded the other issues like microphone volume etc. but BLU gave this device misleading specs from the beginning.

  • Yes, you can have as many as you like.

  • Hi Kiki, Hope you are the one who gonna answer all of us in a Single Review video. Would you do that? Thanks, Naveen

  • Hi Kiki, Finally you got it already after all the questions... heheheh... Im still waiting for answers if skype works on the phone... kiki hope you can be the first one who will upload video in english... I just really want to know if skype works so that i can skype my family not just the computer... i would appreciate if you can make a sample skype video... then im not gonna hesitate to buy... just waiting for answers... thank you...

  • Proud to say I got my blue vivo today and it's superb.Loving every aspect of my vivo right now. Not having a hearing problem like others, really happy with my purchase . Wrote this message from my vivo ;)

  • Hey guys...does this phone have only two home screens? Or can more home screens be added?

  • Someone put here that it didn´t have light sensor. Well, it has it and it works well.

  • I received a mail from bluproducts which says the RAM is 512 MB only

  • Hi FlightDoc, Have you tried skype using this phone?

  • I'm from Brazil and i have the same problems that you're having with it: low mic volume and the poor phone number detection. I have emailed Blu about this issues but i've got no responses until now. If anyone was experiencing the same problems and found a solution please post it here. Thanks in advance

  • can any one tell me the link of blu vivo 4.3 english video

  • I had it since friday and it works very well. Signal reception is very very good, battery too. A litte mess with the memory too. I put a 8 mb card and I see: 471 MB total in apk, but if you search in storage you can see: * Internal storage: Total space 1,00 GB (apks 86,66MB, 899 free) * SD Card...7,28 MB total with its details *Phone storage 1,92 GB total space and 1,02 available I think is 512 MB RAM, but it works really well.

  • OK thanks

  • I have email Blu Products, now for the fifth time with my concern and questions, and still no response from them.

  • I realized that, and know that the dimensions may be very similar to the S2. But my point is the claims made by the manufacturer aren't correct. Any way I finally got it setup for data connection and is good. However there is something that is a flaw in the design. The microUSB connection is at the top next to the headset plug. I placed it on a docking station for charging an the screen will not rotate 180. The screen stay upside-down. Also I have tried a couple of Bluetooth headset and it does paired with the headphone, but it does not work. I'm trying to figure it out. Also the video player it comes with, doesn't play WMV files. I had to install MX player and works great.

  • can any one tell me the exact internal memory of this phone

  • You can change by going into theme setting, on the bottom right press setting, then press background, then select wallpaper, there you can change for another, you can choose a picture from the gallery (one of your own from SD card), from GO wallpaper or even a live wallpaper (which are very cool), after choosing the one you like just push set wallpaper. But just remember, If you choose a live wallpaper it will drain your battery faster (like BLU clock)

  • Does the keys on end of phone get squeezed by the Samsung case.

  • Ok Richard thanks for responding.

  • Can anyone please tell me how to disable the clock on the blu vivo 4.3? any assistance will be appreciated...

  • what's the diference between the models d910i and d910a,what colors are available to buy and whats the price of this product and where to buy it?

  • will the case for samsung galaxy s2 attain i777 fit they have really similar specs

  • i checked online store for case but none available yet. however, i bought case for samsung galaxy s2 and its perfectly fit for this phone. both phones galaxy s2 and this phone dimensions are almost identical.

  • Does anyone know where I will get a case for blu vivo 4.3.

  • First proper 'mature' review that we have got, unlike most others where 'kids' keep hoping for the moon, and then end up bashing a fairly good product. Have u been able to compare the screen size and display quality with S2 by placing them side by side? If yes give us your thoughts regards

  • Kiki, I would post a video on youtube, but my english is not good enough to make a video, sorry. Let's hope that someone does one soon.

  • After two weeks with this mobile I can say that I'm very happy. This mobile is very fast, doesn't freeze, has everything that any other Android 4 has (mine is root)the battery has a good duration, (I learn that if you disable the BLU clock you can have 12 hours or more of battery life). For U$ 230,00 you cannot get a better 2 SIM mobile than this one. My only disappointment is that BLU products could upgrade this mobile to Android Jelly Bean but they are not going to...

  • Alex, The volume on mine works prefect. If this is still a problem on your mobile try to replace for a new one. You can also Google for android 4 volume, there are a few applications that you can change the volume for speaker, mic, etc. There aps for numbers format as well.

  • Is anyone willing to post a video on you tube in english???? just asking....

  • Have u checked that aspect in Galaxy S range ? I think before you start claiming things, I would say that aspect is same even in Samsung phones !

  • I think that would probably be good decision, if you are not looking for or need a dual sim card, phone. I'm still tasting mine, had some issue with data connection but was not set properly. The clock/wallpaper it came with was the first thing I got rid off. Oh by the way, the claimed 4.3 screen is not, is misleading, the whole screen is 4.3, but the functional area (actual viable working area) of the screen is less.

  • Hi dear viewer, now im in india(chennai). blu vivo 4.3 is dual active sim or only dual standby? plz suggest me where to buy this mobile in chennai. Is there any mobile like all facility of blu vivo 4.3 and dual sim active. Eager to Waiting for ur reply

  • Hi I also get one since 2 weeks. It has a hotspot - for this you have to go to settings - more - tethering and portable hotspot. But I have a big problem with the low microphone volume - it very difficult to phone with it. I ask several time the blu service line an get the answer that it can not be adjusted! I think where must be something wrong in the android settings. Could someone confirm the low volume? My location is Germany. The plastic cover is also a point of disappointment. Also the phone number detection not working fine - not detect numers with country codes in contact and calling numbers without country code. The intelligent matching dialing helper also not working as it specified.

  • Wow, the reviews here have been very helpful. Seemed to good to be true (with the whole memory issue). Will probably pass this over in favor of an S2...

  • As far as I know it only comes in black.

  • In USA, got it from Amazon. I got the D910a. The back cover, you have to be very careful opening it. You have to run your nail through the slit to get the tabs to snap off. You can't simply pull the back cover off because you could brake it.

  • Hi FlightDoc, Thanks for giving us the information about the mobile. Blu Products are smart... they didn't tell everyone that the 4gb is from Micro Sd card... we thought that it was the internal memory. Anyway, maybe you are the first one who can make a hands on review in youtube... thank you...

  • What is your location FlightDoc? Which version do u have D910a or D910i ? Is it available in white ? Is the back plastic cover really bad, or will it survive ok for a very careful user ?

  • In setting under storage, it does give you the option to set the preferred install location and gives you three option to select: internal storage; SD Card or Let the system decide. I think this is nice, but some applications wont install in the SD card and they should a fourth option as let you chose at installation time if the app can install in either place.

  • Ok every one. I just received mine. This is THE First impression, I was impressed, a very sleek design, thin phone, the display is outstanding. Now I check the memory issue. The specs say 4bg internal memory, well it a 4GB microSD card in the SD card slot. I check in settings under storage it says Internal storage Total space 1.00GB divided in 46.69MB by Apps 0.94GB available (have not install any apps yet) Then is SD card. I placed in 32GB micro SD card (but is says 29.66GB) after taking out the 4GB card it came with. Then there is Phone Storage 1.92GB with 1.02GB available. You do the Math. I went to Apps under setting and it internal storage 62MB used and 0.94GB free ( no apps installed yet)then I tap on running apps and it says 356MB used and 116MB free and this is where it begins to disappoint, it has been announced throughout that it has 1GB RAM well it doesn't. Then the dual sim cards, yes it has a dual sim card, but one is 3G and the second one is 2G (big disappointment) why couldn�t they be both 3g. (Someone en light me here) And even though it looks sleek the back cover is cheap plastic with snap-in tabs (not slide-in) that I just can see those tabs breaking off in a near future. The front camera is off to the right corner and you have to tilt the phone to center yourself in the screen. Now I had email Blu Products several times asking them about the device, and had jet to receive a reply from them. I will email them again with these concerns and will sit down to wait for an answer (if stand I�ll get tire) and suspect as so far that I must likely will not get a reply. Didn�t get one before! I will be testing in the coming days to see how perform. Although no one before couldn�t tell if you could use it as a hot spot, it does have a setting to make it a hotspot. Will it work I�ll let you know. In general in past dual sim cards have been subpart, and suspect that this phone with the mere RAM, lower tech signal with the sim cards will continue that trend. Blu Products if you are reading this all I have to say is, you can only fool so many people so many times.

  • It seems a total of about 2.9 GB is available for the OS and base phone storage lets see what more users say ! If its abt 2.9 GB I wouldnt worry about that aspect too much. Its Ok with 32GB cards as little as 20 USD now ! I know its not possible to directly store apps on the SD card, but many many fairly easy hacks are available for that online. Just google for it !

  • Dear Richard P., Kindly solve two issues that I have Which version to buy for 3G networks in India D901a or D910i? People say the mic is weak and the receiving party hears very low loudness levels. This is indeed very worrying for me. Plz guide

  • Thanks for the info :)

  • Hi plz tell me does it support arabic language or what ?

  • Hi plz tell me does it support arabic language or what ?

  • Does blu vivo 4.3 support arabic ?

  • Does blu vivo 4.3 support arabic ?

  • Hi Kiki, this is a little confusing on this mobile. Mine says that it's has 1 gig internal memory, but I also have 1.9 gigs available for Mobile memory. And More 4 gigs available from the Micro SD card that comes with the mobile. So this Mobile may have 1 GB + 1.9 GB internal memory or just 1 GB internal memory and I don't know what is the extra 1.9 GB mobile Memory. But definitely doesn't have 4 GB internal memory. But like I said before, it comes with a 4 GB micro sd card,

  • This phone seems to get worse whenever a new person gets his hands on it :(

  • Hi Rajan could you tell me if the phone really has 4gigs of internal memory or is it 1 gig, I saw a revie at amazon saying it is only 1 gig instead of 4 gigs.... will you be able to assist me with this question?

  • So u mean it is safe to go ahead and buy D910i for use anywhere in India ? What is your general experience using the phone ? U can mail me at [email protected] if u wish .

  • Thank you GSMarena for quick response and correcting the specs....Iam from chennai , india

  • what is your location Rajan ?

  • It's now more or less clear that it has 512 MB ram and not 1 GB Havent received a reply from blu. I wrote them a mail to clarify RAM A bit disappointing I must say, but still a great bargain Users, esp Indian ones, plz post a detailed video !

  • The memory ram is really 1GB?

  • Hi Friends, I ran the Antutu and quadrant standard benchmark, both are shows RAM is 471 mb totalonly it is NOT 1gb RAM. aware about before buy it. I was belived GSMarena specs.

  • Let us know what he said!

  • Just to be clear. It has android 4, and as an android mobile it can do anything that any other mobile, such as Galaxy,etc with android 4 can do. I just received an e-mail from Blu that they are not going to upgrade Vivo to android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

  • Yes, you can change the home screen to anyone you like. I made myself a live background that I'm using. You can find new themes on google play store and change BLU theme entirely. In android 4 you can change any background, any icon, etc.

  • All Indian buyers get hold of this : The India distributor has told me to postpone buying it till 31st of October as the company is testing both its models for Indian 3G networks

  • all ICS phones are capable of wifi hotspot ever heard of FoxFi ?

  • Were u able to remove the hideous all encompassing homescreen as shown in pictures and get free real estate on the homescreen, just the way I like ? [email protected]

  • I know Negri Electronics has it for $235. But be careful. This merchant is not too reliable. I tried to purchase the D910A and paid through paypal. Days went by and nothing. I contacted them and they said that the order was to be verified. I called paypal and they said an authorization had been issue. Then they were not available during the weekend, neither on the phone or online. A rep told to reorder and send me a link to wrong phone (D0910I) to buy. Went to the website and now the phone is on backorder. They paid very little attention to detail and no service during the weekend, well, I�ll pay a little more and get from a reliable company.

  • Hi, In one of the reviews in amazon.com, one user mentioned that the microphone volume is pretty low.. can the other users of this phone confirm that plz ?

  • "Get the Vivo"... Can you say more than just that?

  • what about camara & video recording ?

  • mobilecityonline has it for $239.99. "And let the competition begin." I'm still waiting on a review I can understand.

  • Price goes for $250 US, Negrielectronics has it for $235.

  • get the blu vivo 4.3

  • Wi fi Hotspot is a Android OS Feature...

  • I just got mine five days ago. Like Rajan said it's not 1GB, it's 512 RAM, but still a very fast mobile. The screen with Amoled it's fantastic, it could have gorilla glass, but for the price. All applications open very fast, the GPS, WiFi and 3G works fine. The battery duration for mine its up to 48 hrs, but if you play with your mobile all day it will probably last for 24 hrs. I want to see if Blu is going to upgrade Vivo 4.3 to Android Jelly Bean, if not I will be rooting mine anyway and upgrade myself.

  • Guys, Looks like BLU also playing the game like SAMSUNG! India version is with 512 MB RAM rest of the world is with 1 GB. SAMSUNG S III in US is with 2GB and India version is with 1 GB. SAMSUNG S III & Note II India version is with 3G only and in rest of the world comes with 4G-LTE & 3G.

  • Hey all... I am trying to make up my mind between the Blu Vivo and the Acer Liquid Gallant Duo. I know the Vivo is dual core + Super Amoled Plus screen + 720p video + Dual Cam (Skype Video). But the Acer has Wifi hotspot which would help greatly with my ipod touch + 256 ppi pixel density as compared to Blu's 217 ppi. and Acer is more established and reputable brand than Blu, at least in the so-called 'mainstream' arena. I am not a mobile gamer, and don't bother watching videos on my phone. My most important features are Whatsapp, Skype (although I'm unsure if I would need Skype Video calls), and a decent browser. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

  • Rajan Did you recieve a user manual with BLU D910 A Vivo 4.3 Dual-SIM rom negri.what are the other contents with the package recieved. how is the battery life and call clarity of the phone

  • Hi, would you be able to do a video review on you tube, with your experience, just asking, saw 2 videos on youtube just not in english....

  • it was releassed at my birthday

  • It is 512 RAM only, please check under the running apps, there we can find total RAM and free RAM. other than that it is good phone it is very light weight but good body. display is very good.

  • Is phone support Arabic

  • Huh?????? how come, isn't it supposed to be one gig as stated in the specs, take care they give you a micromax A90 in a blu vivo 4.3 box....

  • Dear Rajan, But it mentions RAM as 1GB on this website ! If this spec turns out to be wrong, what can be said of other specs? Does D910a work in India or D910i? Where will we get after sales if we face any problem or where will we buy accessories ? Is teh build quality of plastic etc top notch ? Plz reply at [email protected] about your detailed experience or gimme a missed call at 90 413 07789 I wish to talk to u abt your experience waiting for reply regards atul.

  • you may check negri elect. tech support about your 512mb ram. i got mine 2 weeks ago from negri electronics and it came with 1gb ram, 2gb int. storage, and 4gb blu microSD card. so now, i replaced the 4gig microsd card with 32gig class 10 and works even faster than the original ext. card.

  • Seriously? Only 512 MB? Someone at BLU has been doing a fair amount of lying. I emailed them a while back to confirm their RAM because their own sites don't say anything about their RAM specs. They replied saying that the Vivo 4.3 has 1 GB of RAM. Now I'm kind of confused as to what the hell is going on, this is the second person Ive come across saying the phone has 512 RAM

  • Hi, I just received D910a blu vivo 4.3 from negri. Phone is looks very good, very light weight, display is good. But it is 512 RAM only, it is not 1GB RAM

  • I think you should, I'm ordering one to, from amazon....

  • Micromax is no way near the Blu vivo 4.3..... specs are totally different.

  • useless phone this is not dual sim dual active same phone from micro max a90 is available at cheaper price. Blu company is making fool it is simply re branding of Chinese phone.

  • there is no real review about the phone iam going to order mine any suggestion ?

  • Unfortunately I don't think a review is coming. BLU isn't a well known brand and this phone isn't a much hyped one. They never moved past a hands on with the Studio 5.3 (and I think it was a big deal they acknowledged that phone) but never a full on review.

  • Check out this review of the above phone:

  • For crying out loud! GSMarena when are doing a review?

  • i need to know.. whether it will be released in Egypt !!

  • D910i version is available in ebay. Same seller selling D910A...

  • I'm pretty sure it can removed...and even if it can't, we can just GO Launcher that phone. Considering BLU doesn't exactly have a proper OS of its own, we'll be using alternates anyway. It does look pretty slick, though.

  • O dear, what is that hideous time/date font in the background? Please tell me it can be removed. Otherwise it seems like a fluid phone. The only thing that bugs me is that it doens;t have Gorilla Glass but hopefully it's some high quality scratch resistant material. Camera seems decent too but I need actual samples. Same goes for video. Both of these were glaring weaknesses of BLU previous 'flagship' the Studio 5.3. It's design also reminds me alot of the Optimus 2X. Not a bad thing at all.

  • can this phone upgrade to jellybean

  • D910a will work on 2g network not only in india, but across the universe. Yet, 3g network will not work internationally except in north america due to limited 3g band, 850 and 1900 only. Double check the hsdpa band used by local network carriers in your country make sure that their frequencies include 850 or 1900 mhz. Otherwise, you will need the D910i model to work on 3g network globally. You're welcome to use the gprs (turtle speed) on both models.

  • When is this fon coming to Europe?

  • D910a 3G may not be work in india. India using 2100mhz freq.....2G may work in international

  • Here's another video I found: Again, it's not in English, it's a bit longer, but mostly focuses on the unboxing and a bit of UI and camera. I can't wait for GSMArena to do a full review on this phone. I'm really considering getting it.

  • Thanks alot dude....

  • Both will work fine in India. Who told u that D910a will not work here ?

  • This ^ is the only hands-on video I could find about BLU Vivo. It's not in English but at least it'll give you some idea about what the phone actually looks like. Also, the guy benchmarked it in the video, so enjoy

  • I do not agree: the 2nd review of Amazon is from a user who actual ones the phone.

  • I do not agree: the 2nd review of Amazon is from a user who actual ones the phone.

  • Neither of these "reviews" are hands on from end users. They are merely speculating opinions base on the advertised specifications from the phone (sound like advertising). One thing is the claimed specifications from the manufacturer and another is real performance. That is why I keep waiting for real reviews, before I buy. Someone I hope soon will post a real review. Negri electronics selling it for $234 already went into backorder. This phone is becoming the unicorn that every one talks about, but no one has seen one.

  • Yes, it does.

  • It's a quad-band GSM phone, and 3G. A and I will work in India on GSM (2G). For 3G support you need the I. I like in India. Not A, like in American. Got it? A will work, just on GSM. That's for voice. For data, it will support GPRS and EDGE. It's much slower than 3G, it's like 120 kbps. That's Kilo bits per second... not mega bits. If you get the I version, it support UMTS and HSDPA. It is unclear what category device it is, but I would guess something like 1.8 mbps download speed on 3G. Clearer?

  • How come you only posted the bad review, there is another review at amazon, describing the great qualities of the product.....

  • Will someone post a real hands-on review of this phone already! Due from India do your research find out what frequencies are in your country and read the specs from the phone, is not rocket science.

  • those who have this phone already, does it have wifi hotspot and/or wifi n?

  • there is a review on the mobile amazon site:

  • ebay.in selling d910i model at Rs.16800/- from the Global sellers can i buy this ?

  • when this will be available in india..what abt the after sales service? any users .. can we play all hd games in it ? its looking like galaxy s2

  • There seems to be a problem with the microphone. Everyone complains that they do not hear me well. Or is there something I do not know how to adjust?

  • The 910i will work in 3G network of India.

  • You need model D910i for your country to work on 3g network (900/2100) freq. The D910a currently available all over is for north american version (3g 850/1900), and can be used with at&t and t-mobile network carriers. However, the 2g network can always be used anywhere in the world either the D910a or D910i models.

  • This phone is coming out in two versions one with North America frequencies and one with international frequencies they are D910a (american) and D910i (international frequencies)

  • I believe the HSPDA works on the UMTS frequency bands. For India see: Airtel India 2100 Aircel India 2100 Vodafone India 2100 Idea India 2100 BSNL Mobile India 2100 MTNL DOLPHIN India 2100 Reliance Communications India 2100 Tata DoCoMo India 2100 So it seems that d910i is your friend.

  • Hi 2G works in both D910i & D910a work in india except D910i 3G work in india, it has 2100 mhz freq and also D910i=international, D910a=america.

  • dear naveen help me decide which phone will work in India D910A or D910i mail me at [email protected] regards atul

  • Dear friend I am very confused as to which vesion of blu vivo will work in India 910a or 910i ? Our 3G networks mention 900/1800 MHz and very few at 2100 MHz plz help me mail me at [email protected]

  • stop sending out misleading information How do u know D910A WILL OR WILL NOT WORK IN INDIA ?

  • Where are BLU mobile phones made? The manufacturer is a company from Miami, they manufactured BLU brand in the same factories where LG , Motorola is made in China, overall Blu phones are top quality compared to cheap Chinese brands... Tango was their first android based phone

  • Fadz, of course we like to see a thorough review, but could you already share your experience on the battery life?

  • Hi Rajan, Its been mentioned as 3G Network HSDPA 850 / 2100 in the features list which means it is surely a D910i..

  • HI, IS this dual active phone both sim works independently not like while one sim1 is active on a call and u got call from other sim2 though forwarding of calls

  • does this phone allow video calling on 3g?( not skype etc).

  • Can you recomend accessories for this phone? Specially a case or cover that fits. Thanks

  • please let us know what you think of this phone. i am thinking of this one or samsung galaxy s 7562. performance,reliability, ans serviceable in india are some of the important things to see.

  • D910A it is quad band , it will work in india, but 3G may not be work , because of the 2100 mhz is missing

  • It is D910a model available in ebay. it is not working in india. pls wait for d910i.

  • Will this be available in the Philippines because to be honest... I think it will be a hit here!

  • In Amazon

  • @GSMArena, can you guys do a full review of this phone when you get your hands on it? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this phone's performance, UI and build quality. Thanks.

  • They are available. They were released 4 days ago. You can find them on amazon.

  • do they have them in stock? or was that still just a pre-order? I have been watching this phone and want to get one as soon as they are avalibal.

  • hey bro blu vivo 4.3 available on ebay.in.... for rs.18300...but if you find 10% discount coupon you will get it for rs.16500/...dont know if there are service centers in INdia

  • Hey, GSMArena, the BLU Vivo 4.3 was released 4 days ago. You guys should update it's availability info in the specificiations sheet, announce it in the News Section, and try to get your hands on one for a review. It looks to be a step in the right direction for BLU Products. Thanks.

  • Please let us know what you think about the phone when you try it out, I'm looking to get it too.

  • Can you recomend accessories for this phone? Specially a case or cover that fits. Thanks

  • That would be nice if they did....

  • I will definitively buy one, once I see some hands on user reviews. It's strange that it has been out and I haven't see any real users reviews or You Tube reviews actually showing the phone, with all the so call professional reviewers that so far has done nothing but list the specifications, and convey what the company had said.

  • It would really be a great deal if it could have WiFi N, 4G connectivity, and more RAM. it would give the other brand a run. The concept of selling it unlocked it is really going to draw allot customers. If they make this their marketing goal on all future products, they will quickly will start getting a big share of the market.

  • Im particular about the Map and Navigation feature which I find helpful during travel. Can anyone who bought it tell me if this phone can do OFFLINE MAP NAVIGATION and GPS just like Nokia82? I do not want to engage a costly service provider? Thank you

  • Wow..u got one already..awesome.. :) could you please upload a review of the phone on youtube..we all would really really appreciate it..

  • We would appreciate if you can give a review in youtube so that everybody can see... the speed, apps, video calling... we really appreciate it... thanks...

  • BLU Vivo 4.3 is not the same as Micromax A90. It is better, is dual core (unlike Micromax single core), battery lasts heaps longer, etc, etc. so definitely not the same phone.

  • some specs are better than Iphone 4S, i.e. larger screen, lighter, heaps longer battery life, 1GB RAM, and of course dual sim, heaps cheaper. Bought one today from Negri Electronics, finger crossed it is good.

  • compared to iphone 4s on it is better. Bought one today from Negri Electronics.

  • Are they release this mobile in India?thank U

  • I heard that the blue sub-pixel in Super AMOLED Plus displays has the least luminous efficiency thus needs to be driven with more current, Hence its lower lifespan. That's why the Samsung Galaxy S III uses the Pentile arrangement. i.e. Super AMOLED compared to Super AMOLED PLUS of Galaxy S II. How long would the good display quality of this phone last?

  • I'm eagerly awaiting the launch of this phone! The specs are wonderful for the price-tag

  • dafuq! 217 ppi in 4.3 inch screen? yes, it's have blur screen #ROTFL

  • i m much interested to buy this BLU Vivo 4.3 phone. Please tell me from where can i buy. i am from India.

  • man this phone is greattttttttttttt how soon this phone will get to the US.

  • where do i get this phone in india

  • I really want this phone, i hope they have accessories for it too....

  • Hi GSMArena, could you review this phone once its available. Thanks.

  • like: - touch focus, face detection, front and rear camera, image stabilizer - super amoled plus - ram, cpu - price (apparently 250$) dislike: - no USB tethering? no wireless tethering (hotspot)? - dimensions (a bit bigger than Motorola ATRIX TV XT687 or htc desire V)

  • blu vivo 4.3 best android smartphone but where is abalavile in india

  • It's a pity the screen is not bigger than GalaxySII like you did with your 5.3 then I would buy another one for testing. Good specs tho!

  • Best dual sim phone in the market. This is my next phone.

  • This is the best dual sim phone on the market! great looks and great specs and at a brilliant price. I'm happy they didnt skimp on Ram (1gig). I cant wait to get mine..

  • I think this phone has it all..I am waiting to buy this phone in India. It has everything like quad band, super amoled screen, 1 GB RAM, Expandable memory, Dual core, Flash...Wooo...This phone is a killerrrrrrrr.... Waiting patiently...

  • i am waiting for this phone please tell me when comes in india

  • i thing it should bring to india, because they expecting all the features of this type of phone.

  • will it be launched in the philippines? i read an article and it said that it will be sold in some parts of asia so im not sure if philippines is included.

  • I saw it mentioned on a few sites that the A90 is this phone re-branded, so it most likely got downgraded. Here is the Vivo 4.3 again but under the name 'Explay Infinity' for the Russian market: (it's got a different processor) Just as the Blu Studio 5.3 was re-branded for the Russian Market. So I guess the Vivo 4.3 is the global version of this multi-branded phone.

  • Wi-Fi hotspot?

  • Very good DualSim imo...it only has Wifi b/g but you don't need n for now as it supports up to 108mb speed which is enough!

  • I have a galaxy s 2 now and i was looking to a good dual sim smartphone. Then i came to d HTC desire v. But recently i find blu vivo4.3.It seems to be a great phone considering its price. So i MAY give my s2 to daughter and buy this. Good bargain. Lol

  • really really beautiful, good price. so nice

  • its made in china. china is the manufacturing country

  • Right here on GSMArena compare the two phones, they are similar but this one has the A90 beat. Check out the specks, Media Tek chipset, dual core, 8MP Camera, 1.3 front camera. No comparisons.

  • amazing phone, specs are high and price is cheap. When will it be available in qatar? T.y.

  • not at all. single core, lower camera ...

  • great phone at price range....me 2 worried because when converted from usd its price is about 12,900 but when we buy it from amazon and ebay with taxes it will be more...hope flipkart gives an option to buy this phone from their site or it should launch in india very soon.

  • I really, really want one so bad :P

  • Same phone just re-branded for the India market. Here's a video that leaked of it.

  • why does is not have wifi hotspot?

  • guys this is micromax A90... prise wil be approx 14-15k, launch date end of aug.....

  • The battery is a few low for a phone with android and double sim card

  • only wifi b/g?? no n?

  • Karbonn A18 also has similar specifications. price would be less i guess. good for us. we have so many options.

  • This phone is the S2 with a cheaper price tag. Its a must have if you ever want a great ICS phone under your belt.

  • Hey, check out the blu Wikipedia and only ststed from miami? there is no manufacturer origin. I wonder where it made? Specs are good but we as consumers need to know where it made. Please reveal this to us.

  • Hey, check out the blu Wikipedia and only ststed from miami? there is no manufacturer origin. I wonder where it made? Specs are good but we as consumers need to know where it made. Please reveal this to us.

  • How about Micromax A90 ?http://www.wmtblog.org/micromax-a90-superfone-p­rice-in-india-android-phone/ different brand with same specs ?

  • Wonderful specs for d price, Wondering about configuration settings since dis is not a common brand and d UI and battery life

  • unfortunately: the battery capacity (1600mAH) is less than the lenovo a750 or a789 (2000mAH).

  • bz blu! this will be my next phone and i will wait til it comes out. hopefully the specs are stay the same as listed except for the screen display which suppose to be a super amoled PLUS.

  • store

  • At last! Dual-Sim with 8MP camera. I'm waiting for this specs. Probably will buy it if non other will compete the specs.

  • Whoa, the design almost look like an iPhone. Expect some serious suing from Apple, Vivo.

  • Sounds good!

  • will be available in india or not ?

  • isn't this sort of too good to be true???low price great specs killing battery???i don't have any experience with Blue phones but this looks to good to be true...does anybody know if quality of the phone is good?or if it will work fine even after 5 months of use(handled with care of course)

  • Amazing phone at this price tag. I wish this phone becomes available in Pakistan too.

  • I hope this is cheap too...

  • Cant wait for this phone...
