    I got this phone in January 2020, brand new from the US. But when it got to South Africa, although it was an opened phone, I couldn't get internet network setting. And the only network I got is constantly on E.

    Ok that's no problem, my problem now is, the phone could have charged up to 100% but by 95% the battery dies and the phone switches off. This is frustrating to say the least.

        The battery on this blu vivo 5 is really bad. I could leave leave the house and within 45 minutes without using the phone, it drains 10%. Not sure if changing the battery would help and I don't want to waste $10 bucks and no guarantee if it would help. Other than that, it's a nice phone.

            The phone is great and comes with the common accessories.
            The headphones are not bad
            The speakers, although they are not great at full volume, do great at lower volumes.

            However, the phone does not have a good USB C cable. It will over time degrade and charge slower and slower.

            Along with that, XDA just received a massive port of ROMs and now you can run stock(ish) Android instead of the admittedly, full of malware stock ROM.
            Note: I am not responsible if you brick your device or loose IMEI as a result of flashing a custom ROM. I am just telling you it is a possibility.

                  My daughter's phone came with only the USB cord without the head so tried a different head with the cord. Tool a long time to charge 40% and now its been off, tried different android phone charger for it and it's not charging. What do I do and where do I get the charger to buy? Does BLU Phones have a branch or dealer in Ghana?

                        For cheaper than the Vivo5, get the GR5... Blu Products Vivo5 is riddled with issues....

                        Ridiculously long battery charging times
                        stupid fast battery drains between 20% and 1%
                        flaky incar bluetooth (and no its not on the car side)
                        randomly fails to detect the SD card sawying it has to be formatted (reboot phone and its ok)
                        useless customer service.
