Review: Blu Pure View
The Blu Pure View surprised me. The phone is a clear step in the right direction as far as design and basic performance is concerned. Blu traded the disjointed look of its older phones for a sleek, modern skin that belies the entry-level specs underneath. What I'm saying here is that I really like the way it looks, though, as the axiom goes, beauty is more than skin deep.
Critical specs like the display aren't quite up to snuff. It's not necessarily a bad panel, but I wish it had higher resolution. The phone runs on AT&T's network well enough, but lacks support for the newest LTE Bands. At the same time, call quality is fairly good and battery life is rather decent. It's too bad the processor is slightly underpowered.
Blu gave the phone a near-stock version of Android, and that's good. The camera app is easy enough to use, but it runs too slowly for me. The phone manages to capture solid pictures and video most of the time.
Amazon sells the Blu Pure View for $130. That's for an unlocked Android phone that performs on par with other phones in its class. Most people will get a better experience with the Motorola Moto E5 Play or G6 Play, which are about the same cost and have looks similar to the Pure View.
I'd recommend the Blu Pure View only to those seeking something off the beaten path, or to those who specifically need a phone that supports dual SIMs.
