[Blu Vivo Air] jjvalor59:
Hi after reading some questions about keeping it or not this is a little review for some of you who want this device!

Enjoy

Experience: Having a custom android skin on it I'm not capable of running some apps that I just learn to need now! Such as gravity box! Software runs smooth and no problems just change the default launcher! It has some minor bugs such as when you start a new text message doest go first to who its the text it just go straight to the place where u type! It's a minor thing but its there!

The amount of ram 1gb its OK for this device since it's not w flagship yes its hurts having just 1gb but for my use and the 200$ price I'm OK with it!

Also lollipop its in the pipeline for this device according to blu will be in June so far the phone had 2,updates to have a better touchscreen performance and some minor adds! Keep in mind that if you are rooted the latest update V11,will soft brick your phone! I had that issue!

Phone itself: its so so thin that gets to the point where u can get scared of holding it and dropping it. Its close to mandatory for me to use it with the included PE case which gives me a bit more of grip and adds a bit more thickness to the phone! But you can get used to keep it without the case its just that I haven't.

Temperature: the device gets a bit hot around 120°F under heavy use such as gaming, I manage to reduce this by rooting the phone and under clocking the CPU with setcpu the temps went down to 110 105°f!

Camera: its a good one according to the price takes good pictures and video the flash its amazing super powerful my wife took me some pics the other day and I felt like I was running blind! In low lights takes good pics with some hard to notice noise and takes a bit longer to focus but when it does the picture it's better I guess just tries to find the better light and focus!

Sound: the speaker it's good lack of body on the bass but given the thinness of the device it's hard to have a nice bass

With headphones the sound it's really good since comes with DTS sound and this is with the included headphones I pretty sure will have a even better sound with a more expensive headphones

In calls the sound its good a little flat but its ok!

Screen: the screen its pretty good the colors look super nice its bright and lets you have a nice view on what you do! Under direct sound ligth I can tell it needs more power and brightness!

Battery! It can hold a full day with moderated use such as texting and calling some browsing! Under heavy use the CPU will eat the battery like a candy!

It does help to say that a CPU power consumption feature it's on the battery settings and helps to keep the battery a bit longer! Also having smart gestures on drains the battery but having both enabled makes the perfect balance for a full day use!

Plus features: it has some hidden features the CPU super renders the videos at 60fps which makes YouTube movies and other media look super smooth!

Smart gestures work flawless! Double tap to wake and The phone also let's you customize what each of the 4 gestures can do such as open a specific app or just the camera! Also has smart reminder which makes the phone vibrate when you pick it up and has a message or a misses call!

Over all this is a excellent phone for a 200$ budget its has some drawbacks but again its a 200$ phone and even a 650$ phone it's not perfect! We can't spect to be a 100% happy with a mass production product the built its really good and its a piece of engineering which feels luxury and well build!
