Review on πŸ“± Black TracFone Blu View 2 4G LTE Prepaid Smartphone - Locked, with 32GB storage & included CDMA Sim Card by Michael Glassburn

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent quality for the price

Advantages: low price; The phone works well, the sound is clear on both ends of the transmission; plays music quite well, but I had to use the equalizer to improve the sound. I use Wavelets Equalizer FX, but any equalizer with a fairly high user satisfaction would be helpful; The display, while not impressive, is perfectly acceptable considering the very low price. Everything is clearly visible both inside and outside except for the bright sun; Bluetooth works well at 15-20 feet, then it starts to break down. Cons: As expected, it's slow. You must be patient when opening applications. It will open, don't worry, just be patient; I haven't tried playing any games, but I think it will be fine to play the simplest games that don't require a lot of processing power or fast graphics; TERRIBLE CAMERA! Ignore the high MP rating. The lens and possibly the image processor is very bad. Even in high-contrast sunlight, images lack sharpness, clarity, and appear "muddy". In low light conditions (see second shot on a gray, rainy day) the shots are useless. Check out three photos taken in different environments - on a sunny, bright day with lots of shadows and high contrast, on a gray, rainy day, and in a house with lots of light. I've post processed them all and tried sharpening them, adding light to the middle image and increasing the wide range of detail in the first image, but the end results are all poor. Conclusions: This is a regular phone for communication, listening to music, playing simple games, running simple applications that do not require much computing power. Useless for photo and video recordings.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
