Enjoy a long battery life with this unlocked Blu Life Max smartphone. Its 3700 mAh battery lasts up to 3 days between charges, and its quad-core MediaTek processor and 2GB of RAM prevent apps from bogging down when you multitask. This Blu Life Max smartphone uses the Android Marshmallow operating system, and it has 16GB of internal memory for storage.

I recently purchased this device during the 3 day sale, and was able to use $10 coupon from Best Buy. My previous device was an LG K7, which was smaller, and had less features. This comes loaded with Android 6.0, and setup took about 5 minutes, Make sure you know your accounts info, when transitioning to new device.
Phone clarity is A+, and T Mobile 4G works great in Central NJ area. I am not a data hound, and Wi-Fi works great in my home. Device automatically connects when available, and I have the option to use Wi-Fi calling. I am not a tech guy, but I ran a speed test and ping was 17 ms, download was 37.39 mbps, and upload was 5.78 mbps. I downloaded Need for Speed, and the graphics looked great, played well. Device fully charges in 3 hours, lasts for about 1 1/2 days of moderate use. Speakerphone while driving was clear, no issues.
For a person who needs an everyday phone, the Blu Life Max will work for you. The 5.5 screen is bright, and YouTube videos play really well. I do not have Netflix, but was able to watch a movie using Amazon Video with no problem.
This is my first Blu device, and have gotten used to their features. Some things I noticed but not a deal breaker: power charger on top of phone, volume rocker and power button are too close together, speaker is on bottom of phone- but sound is good. Pictures are decent, but going on vacation I would not use this as a primary camera.
Device came with a hard plastic case, earphones, and a screen protector(not tempered glass) . I will look for a better screen protector when they are available. Overall great value if you are budget conscious, and refuse to pay $$$$ for a smartphone. PS. This includes a fingerprint sensor, that I have not used as of yet.

I bought this Bluetooth speaker based on the reviews. The initial charge to my pc took a couple of hours. A usb cord is included, but a wall adapter is not. My windows phone paired instantly with the device named NS-SPBTBRICK. I downloaded a free mp3 music player on my phone and I was on my way. You can control the volume from your phone which is great. For a small speaker this has great sound. On my patio when playing, people cannot believe the sound quality. When I receive a text, a message plays over my speaker alerting me. I am not sure if all phones can do this. I have not tried IPod or IPhone sync yet, but I'm sure it will perform the same. An added plus is that you can charge your phone from this device. I have been using speaker for about 3 days, and charge is still good. I would rate this 4 1/2 *.

ZTE Zmax 2 Prepaid Cell Phone for AT&T Prepaid: Stay connected on the go with this cell phone, which features built-in Wi-Fi and 4G LTE speeds for easy wireless access. Bluetooth lets you pair with compatible devices, and front and rear cameras allow you to capture special moments.
Overall
5 out of 5
5 out of 5Excellent phone for the price!

This is an awesome phone for under $100 and it works great on T-Mobile. I used the AT&T unlock service and unlocked it for T-Mobile. It has a 5.5 Screen, 2GB Ram, 16 GIG of disk space. It's responsive and runs very smooth. The rear camera is pretty good, but the selfie is not that great. It feels good to hold and not bulky. I bought a couple for family members, and will use 1 for my travel.

Is there a way to completely clean this device after unlocking? I still have ATT icons, etc., after I unlocked to T-Mobile.
