First, if you are looking for an unlocked solid phone on a budget, this could be it. I am on ATT so my primary concern was that this phone only has LTE bands 2, 4, 7. The Vivo XL has all 5 LTE bands but that one isn't available. I've never seen it available; so I took the plunge on this larger ROM/RAM phone and all metal twin of the Vivo xl. So far this phone has no issues with LTE and I get LTE 80% or 90% of the time and 4G the rest. The phone has 32GB so I was happy with that when compared to XL. The phone is about the exact size of the IPhone 6Plus and the actual screen is larger than the 6Plus. The screen itself is perfect with no issue; I'm not a screen junkie though. You cannot tell it's lower pixel density. The Blu skin for Android is nice but not perfect. I do like, NOT having an app drawer; unlike others. This to me, is more like Apple ios since all apps on screens and you can create folders. The phone is all metal no plastic and its slim and nicely built. I have no sound issues and watching videos is nice. I've had this phone a week and I will say that I was catching a 4G signal in certain malls and coffee shops(that are known for poor signal areas) when my wife's iPhone(ATT) wasn't getting any signal at all. So my fears are gone about the signal issue and I do get LTE. I guess it depends on the area you live in as well; so I would try it and then return it within their 14 day window if you get poor signal.
