After checking out reviews of low budget 5G phones to replaced my 4 years old Motorola that recently start to shutdown intermittently, I have decided to purchase the BOLD N2 . After reading online reviews and comparing features, this phone was exactly what I was looking for.
Incredible ROM+RAM (256+8GB), premium design, OLED display, aluminum body with leather feeling battery cover, 5G support and carrier unlocked for GSM network.
The MediaTek Dimensity 810 processor's performance is comparable with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 used in Motorola 5G phones. The OLED display is as good as the Samsung AMOLED. The touch screen respond is fast and fluid after enabling 90Hz refresh rate.
The package includes a nice carbon fiber like case and 30W quick charger (Samsung makes you pay for the optional charger for their $1,300 Galaxy S22 Ultra !!) and a wired USB-C ear bud that doubles as an antenna for the built in FM radio. The SIM adapter support DUAL SIM card for International travel. I successfully backed up my Motorola Android 9 data and restore it to the new BOLD N2 seamlessly.
BOLD'S Android version includes a couple of apps that I was able to manually remove without any issues. Unlike most manufacturer, that preinstall Bloatware that are annoying and sometimes NOT Removable, I was able to remove without issues on my BOLD.
I was able to activate the phone on Metro and launch it into 5G mode with incredible speds. Run Speedtest with 3 bars I am getting consistently 200~300 Mbps Download and about 700~800 Mbps Upload. All APPs run faster than the Motorola. The Finger sensor built into the screen comes in handy to unlock the phone. The Camera features photo mode such as Portrait, Night scene, Wide-angle, Panorama, Pro mode and Macro shot. Picture quality with the Samsung sensor is pretty good for a budget priced phone. WiFi 6 is support is great, since I've WiFi 6 enabled UBIQUITI Mesh network in my house. I'm extremely satisfied with the BOLD N2. Save more than $250 bucks against the less feature Samsung A53 5G phone.

Also, the cameras look the exact same on the BLU G91 Max. These ODMs sure are creative.

TherealCFM, 15 Aug 2022Are You Kidding? 🤣I mean, it's $249. Here in Canada you'd be surprised there's not many good midrange phones to choose from, with many midrangers still from last year's releases, so I think it's fair for the price with regards to the local phone market here

I know it's the cheapest cursed... cough... I mean curved screen phone in the market but, to be honest, that chipset should not belong in this price category. I expect a minimum dimensity 1200 or something

Haven't seen much BLU phones in a while. $249 looks like a great price for such a premium design.
D810 is between the performance of SD720G and SD732G, and falls slightly under SD695, which is already very decent for this price.
Very good midrange phone for the western market. Directly competes with Motorola and Samsung's midrange phones.
