Review on BLU G91 (2021): 3-Day Battery, πŸ“± Unlocked US Version With Warranty - 4/128GB Green by Phil Kowal

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The Blu G91 is a phenomenal phone for the price!

(For some stupid reason Revain combines ratings for 4 completely unrelated Blu phones with TOTALLY different specs: G50, G50 Mega, G71, G91 making the average star rating completely meaningless. So make sure to that you read "style" after the review title to see what phone the reviewer is talking about. This review is for the G91 ONLY.) The Blu G91 phone works very well and is a steal for the price . Here are (a) the positives, (b) the negatives, and (c) the differences between this and a similar G90 Pro phone with similar specs. (a) Pros + Plenty of memory and storage space + Separate slots for 2 SIM cards and 1 SD card simultaneously + Android 10+ Long battery life (b) Cons + No fast charge (but fully charges overnight and lasts 2 days)(c ) Differences from the G90 Pro They are more similar than different: both have 2 SIM + 1 SD card slot, both have 128GB/4GB storage, both have 6.5-inch screen size, weight and thickness are very much the G90 has Here's what the G91 doesn't: + Fast charging + 1080p resolution (G91 is 720p, but it'll be hard to tell the difference) + Faster processor (I don't notice the difference, but gamers might notice) + Sturdy black chassis versus a thinner silicone case (recommended to be positive, although I prefer the G91 silicone case) Note that both the G90 Pro and G91 are listed on Revain as "not compatible with new AT&T or Cricket activations" are listed, but i I'm not sure how true is and what "new activation" means (Is fitting an existing SIM into a new phone "new activation"? - some seem to have had problems with it). All I know is that my existing AT&T account worked fine with my G90 Pro, even though I had to switch SIM cards (I later ported my number to T-Mobile for other reasons anyway). ). The reason I've tracked down this is that AT&T is phasing out their 3G network by 2022, so they're no longer enabling the new service on phones that don't support Voice over 4G LTE (called VoLTE). In the future, voice will be transmitted via your network. My G90 has a setting of "Enhanced 4G LTE mode (recommended)" which I assume is VoLTE. T-Mobile has specifically acknowledged the phone's IMEI as VoLTE-compatible, but AT&T doesn't list any Blu phones on its "official" list of VoLTE-enabled phones, which surprisingly focuses on the phones AT&T sells. like that . Until we have more clarity on that, you can choose a GSM provider other than AT&T or Cricket if you want to use Blu phones.

Pros
  • delivery was very fast
Cons
  • repair
