Blu Vivo 5R

Post by toxicavenger » Mon Sep 19, 2016 10:02 am

This comes out September 21st on Amazon. I wish it had a smaller screen but I will deal with it considering all of the other features of it.

Under Verizon's device payment program you're not in a contract. You pay off the phone and leave anytime. Or stay. Up to you.

What's pay of? $650 like the iPhone 6? That is whack. :scratch:

Oh and Verizon is horrible here. The only thing that works decent on the mountain ridge is At&T. So we are limited for sure. :shrug:

I don't want another big phone. Something Android a little larger than iPhone 5, but smaller than the HTC One, would be great.

I don't think these are compatible on Verizon, right?

Verison is still on the old school CDMA, so nope.

interesting. I just ordered a moto x pure for myself as my S5 is crapping out, but I do need to find something for my parents. Wonder if this may fit the bill.

I wish most of the phones would be about 4.5 inches, then they would be perfect imo. I think this one is right at the size of the One.

The no Verizon may be a deal breaker.

I bought a Nexus 5X while they were on sale for $250, but I imagine they'll go down in price again when the new Nexus phones are released this fall. Like the Nexus 6 and 6P, the 5X is compatible with Project Fi, as well as any GSM or CDMA carrier. I like the fact that that the 5X is a little smaller than the OnePlus One I had.
No, it's not Tourettes.

I got my parents a pair of Blu Studio somethings for Christmas. Mums a little more technical (multiple tablets, laptop, blogging etc) He wasn't so much. They both love them, she likes the big screen and he's learnt all about mobile news!

I like that price. HTC One is pissing me off. It shuts down if I use Internet when battery gets into 50-70% range.
