I got mine in the late Fall of 2016. It got de-phoned when Full 4G came to town because it could only handle 4G LTE (sigh). It works fine, except for that.
I'm going to get a data cable and see what I can do with it and the Android Studio IDE. It's only got Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow), so I may be seeing if I can update the kernel directly (maybe not, no promises).

Just got one of these for free recently in TERRIBLE shape, it's hard to use considering all of the buttons basically don't press. Having pre-installed malware also isn't cool

I have been using this phone over 3+ years now.
The bad:
1. The phone heats up, even while doing simple tasks
2. No OS update ever, don't even hope for one
3. Charging port weak after 3+ years
4. Started to lag after 3+ years
5. Covers not available easily
6. No resale value, 0 demand
7. File system seemed corrupted, maybe virus(?) Not sure
The good:
1. Great value for money
2. Lasted 3+ years for this price
3. Good performance for the price
4. Battery still decent after 3+ years
This phone has served me well, but I just hated how hot it used to get like it might explode anytime (thankfully it is still alive and working fine)

After all the trials 'n tribulations of lousy BLU device updates... certainly BLU must use the most amateurish coders...I noticed that now when you access Settings there is a new entry called "BLU Privacy"...Whaddaduck BLU?...Do you think for a minute that I would allow you to monitor my device or even raise a finger to send usage statistics to a company who allowed Chinese spyware (FOTA) on my device then sent out an OTA Update that rendered my phone useless for 3 months! And latest update did the same thing necessitat a complete hard reset. When it comes to BLU phones, incompetency the order of the day! And though their prices are very competitive you get what you pay for and the operative philosophy for buying their products is certainly...Caveat Emptor!
Buyer Beware!

Installed update..and kaplouee..unable to unlock phone even using correct pattern!
Nothing else to do but hard reset! Since Day 1 BLU updates have made my phone a POS!
Awaiting update to 7.0 Nougat..which will never happen...with BLU's lousy update record maybe that's a good thing?
Amazing that any company can be so inept!
BLU...Bad Lousy Updates...or maybe
Boldface Lying & Unscrupulous!

I just bought this phone the other day..hasn't arrived yet.. the 2gb/16gb model.. it's replacing my htc desire 626 ...for $134 bucks new. (btw, the htc almost 2 yrs ago was 180bucks)
going from:
4core 1.1ghz to octacore 1.4 snapdragon
1.5gb ram to 2 gb ram
16 to 16+16on card
8mp/5mp to 16mp/8mp
267pixel to 431pixel
i've read decent reviews on various android review boards.. read some good & bad here.. from my observation In 1 month of researching a cheap upgrade ..I've NEVER come across any cellphone in the 150-250 range that's perfect.. More good than bad..so I'm guessing I have a 60-75% chance of not having any issues and it just works.. I'll take those odds for 136bucks.

It's a decent phone...with lousy battery life...and will never, ever get 7.0!
BLU must stand for "Boldface Lying & Unscrupulous???
My 1st...and last BLU phone!
PS. Thank You " Tech Amigos" website for your statement about the BLU Life One X2 "certain" to get upgrade to 7.0...guess it's not only BLU making false statements out of their rectums?

I just bought this phone a week ago, I had payed for Xpresspost shipping which it rushed over to me, it came in the mail yesterday and I have had the phone for 24 hours and I am v happy with the overall build quality, cpu, and camera resolution for its price point (I paid 260 Canadian). The box it came with was a very sleek black with metallic white writing over it, and it had came with your standard charging port, data cable, and headphones (medium-low quality, compared to the apple ear pods), but what surprised me is that it had come with a screen protector, and case. I would say I am a satisfied customer. (PS Did I mention that it has two sim card slots :D )
