Tbh, everyone says "this is a terrible phone and should be thrown in the trash".
I own this phone and, if you don't play resource-intensive games or do a bunch of things all at the same time, it's a pretty good phone. I don't know why it gets so much hate. It's just a phone. Are you trying to run GTA 5 on your View 2? Then don't post a terrible review saying "THIS IS THE WORST PHONE TO EVER GRAZE MANKIND!".
Pros
Audio quality is generally good
SMS is also good
Screen is fantastic
Moderate battery life
Front & Back camera quality is OK
Cons:
Limited alarm sounds
Battery life is a bit misleading
Some apps use up your battery faster
RAM is a bit low; some apps crash but this isn't a big deal
Overall, it's generally a fantastic phone that I would 100% enjoy. I gave a completely honest reply.

Has it's ups and downs but my favorite description of it is 'a $30 Walmart special that I can bounce off the concrete at work and it'll still work"
Been through about 5 so far.
1st one wouldn't stay connected to the cell service for some odd reason.
2nd one didn't have any issue with that
3rd one bought for Uber/Lyft workphone (mainly so I could easily access other app/apps while monitoring the one I was focusing on)
4th one replaced phone dropped into toliet
It still worked after a bit of drying but camera/flashlight would not function so eventually got a replacement. 3 months later phone miraculously became fully functional so ended up with 3 (1 w/cell service, 2 running of the hotspot or home wifi) One of which had a prestine screen that I really, REALLY wanted to keep that way.
One of the three just stopped working one day and I have yet to revive it although it does seem to charge battery just wont turn on or respond to any input.
Yes it can be slower than dirt especially after a few hours running multiple rideshare apps/google maps/youtube/allstate and anything else I happened to install or failed to deactivate in the bloatware. But it's generally done what I needed and wouldn't cost an arm and a leg to replace sound the next bounce off the concrete finally kill it.
Biggest gripes -- no gyroscope, no tap and pay functionality, GPS gets a bit confused when you are stationary but eventually figures things out when you start moving.
What I'll miss the most --- Removable battery :)
best thing about having a couple of spares is they make great battery chargers. But pretty sure when I finally update it to something with a AMOLED screen, gyro, tap/pay, current Android that'll be a hard thing to find like a headphone jack.
Definitely no thoroughbred and sometimes you want to bounce it off the floor to see it that will make it work better. But slips in the pocket nicely and generally gets the job done.
All that said, not sure I'm willing to trust Blu with mid-range phone money when I step up to better screen, etc. Leaning towards non flagship Samsung possibly Google pixel depending on reviews.

This phone is the worst thing to TOUCH PLANET EARTH. No words, no description, no nothing can put how bad this phone is in to effect. This phone is slower than the Ice Age. This phone is the worst thing that could ever happen in the whole world, I hope blu the company becomes bankrupt because of this phone. I would rather eat liquid poop spaghetti then use this phone for 5 seconds. You know the fucking sentence I just said well, I had to wait 10 seconds just to tap on the word liquid, now that might not seem that bad until you realize that 10 seconds of my fucking life, I will never get back because of blu the company. To use this phone is like eating a Wi-Fi router while trying to pee out a baby cat out of your penis. I would never use this phone, if you are trying to buy this phone just for a cheap little phone, please do not whatever amount of money that you are going to use to buy the phone, it would be better to shove that money up your ass, take it out, put it in a container light that container on fire and then throw it into a dumpster full of homeless people. This phone has made me screamed the n word more than call of duty world at war campaign on hard mode seriously that sniper level is really hard. By blu developing and making this phone I'm pretty sure that's suicide percentages have gone up 5 percent. If you still don't think this phone, is that bad? Well, first of all, you should fucking buy some new eyes because if you are thinking that, then you are either blind as fuck or the most dumbest piece of shit on the fucking planet called earth. I have used phones older than me, that's still run better than this phone, and that is fucking crazy. I have used a Samsung phone from 2011 that ran Android 5.1 and that shit Ran better than this phone, if that wasn't running Android 5.1, then I would probably use that, but I can't because all the apps aren't supported on that version of Android. Also no, I was born before 2011 I was just stating that fact. To experience one second with this phone would have to experience 5 trillion years in the most disgusting gross lower level of hell actually to describe using this phone for one fucking second, I could not at all I am unable to as a human being, not godly enough to speak of the terrible, wretched disgusting ideas that were going through the company's head. It's just fucking crazy. I would have to be paid 10 trillion dollars, actually, no, no, no, I could not be paid enough to ever use this phone, no amount of money in the whole entire world could ever make me want to use this phone, no theoretical item could make me want to use this phone as a daily phone that I use every fucking day of my life until I dropped dead into the grave. I would rather have sex with every grown man in the whole entire world, while also try to play chess with fortnite Chung Li than use this phone for 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 nano second. If you believe in any religion, and actually enjoy using this phone, then there is no help for you, you will go wherever the opposite of heaven that your religion believes in. You are the worst disgusting, gross human character ever in the whole world into your galaxy, in the whole hypothetical reality that we live in. I have took my time and effort to make this whole entire 30 paragraph review, so please, whatever you do, do not buy this phone, I have taken more time than it would take to buy this phone and wherever you're gonna buy it from. Any normal, actually, thinking owner with a brain, a working brain can agree with me on this for at least one second, this phone is the worst phone I've ever experienced. I've experienced many phones in my life but this tops it. This tops the lowest level a phone can go, I would rather live in a world where phones and the Internet would not exist, where no type of technology would exist, I would rather be a fucking caveman banging rocks together than use this phone. I would rather fuck a goldfish anus. I would rather shove a Pointy gooey slimy rough sandpaper infused house dildo than use this phone. I could go on and on and on about how garbage is the phone is, and I kind of have but I don't have eternity to live, I don't have infinite life because infinite would be the amount of time I would have to use to just try to describe the horrors of this phone, I do not want to live in a world with this phone, I want to end up like Ronnie McButt Nutt then use this phone. I've been rambling on and on about how I hate this phone so much that I have to now take a shit so I'm going to go do that. Ok, I'm done taking a shit and me taking a shit has let me have some time to reflect on this phone, and I will have to give it one point. ONE because this phone is really fucking durable, I have punched throne, kicked and shoved this phone so many times, it's not even funny, and it's never broken, not the screen, not the buttons not the plastic shell because I've never put a screen protector or case on this I do have some chips around the screen, the plastic part but that is it. Still do not buy this phone, no matter what you do, just because it's durable does not give it a good experience that's like taking a flaming shit, and all you do is add some cupcakes, sprinkles. This phone is still a heaping piece of garbage and it deserves to burn in hell, I do not care what you think, I do not care if you actually like this phone, because no, you don't stop lying to self you fucking numskull. If you actually like this phone, then I'mma be honest, I think your head was pushed on a little bit too much when you were a baby because like this phone you have to be a dumbass autistic baby to actually think this phone is good. You must still be teething to think this phone is actually good. Anyways, that's the end of my review, I hope you guys liked it, remember to like and subscribe and never buy this phone, I don't care if it's free, if you buy this phone, I will find where you live and I'll force you to give me the most disgusting grosses blow job in the whole world. Bye

The Blu View 2 Smartphone is barely usable. It was manufactured with cheap components and not enough processing power (CPU) or Memory (RAM) to be able to handle a modern Android OS and current day apps. It does mediocre at one application at a time. On the upside, it's a pretty decent music phone for your digital music files (if you get a good 3rd party app.) And the camera is "ok". If you leave your phone sitting, it goes into a type of hibernate mode and everything will be slow for a while until it "loads up" again. This device should have been made with more processing power and RAM.

Also that but it has Android 11 (not the go variant of android) I got this as a direct upgrade from my Moto E (2020), which was cracked and the screen started showing lines because of Isopropyl Alcohol which destroyed my phone so I got this phone today and so far it is a pretty good phone

There is a flaw with this phone. The headphone jack breaks off easily. I used it very gently for about a month and it is already broken. The battery also diminishes and wears out quickly. Buyer beware.

Lol I'm using this phone right now. I found it in the bushes a couple months ago. It's obviously not great but it does have some uses. I turned this one into a retro gaming phone. I've got about 700 roms on it and like 6 different emulators. It's also great for downloading and storing movies and other media and holding onto backups of other stuff(like photos, or your Minecraft world)
