Heavy but you get used to it 💪
It’s finally time to upgrade from my Blu G90 Pro, so my review is in comparison to my old phone running Android 10. Purchased two, so my husband has one as well. I got this mil spec phone more for him because he’s always dropping his phone and breaking the screen cover. However it’s got features I like as well. I like for us both to have the same model so if there’s an issue I can compare the two easily.Things I like:Battery life – lasts all day and I’m a heavy user of apps.Customizable side switch – you can choose three different settings depending on if you push the button once, twice or long press. I have mine set to open Gmail on one click ( with phone unlocked), flashlight with double click which is handy when I need it quickly and it works with the phone locked.USB port and 3mm jack are covered to keep dust and water out.Accessory charging cradle recommended because ports are covered.Cradle is short, so there is room for a pop socket mid back of the phone if you need it.Camera is good, night vision is awesome 😎Android 14 ROM with minimal bloatware. Some of the preinstalled apps are actually useful especially if you are a maker. Things like camera measuring, protractor and level. There’s an attachment connector on the side for other tools as well like a scope sold separately.Rotation is fast with the RAM speed. Overall the phone is very responsive.Bluetooth works well with multiple devices running simultaneously.The meh -Ring light is cool but it doesn’t work all the time for me. I might have to play with the settings.Dura speed can suppress apps in the background and if you need notifications from them you need to turn the switch on in dura speed to allow the apps to run normally. It might take trial and error to figure out what apps you need to allow.Volume settings are touchy and it’s hard to get the volume just right. The sound is either too quiet or too loud all the time.Sound quality is average. I’d say it sounds like a mid priced Bluetooth speaker.Phone is heavy! But the weight I’m sure is because of the shock protection. I got used to the weight in a couple of days of use.The bad -Not really much to say here and most of the bad is related to Android 14 not the phone.Android 14 settings are a little more difficult to find than in prior versions. I’ve been an Android user since 2.0 cupcake so I’ve used almost every release.When swiping sometimes buttons get activated because they are very sensitive.There is a function where I can close all open apps, but without the on screen square close, home and back buttons at the bottom it’s hard to find it. I’m not sure how to activate the feature. I’ve seen it but not sure what I did to make it come up.Somehow Android 14 dropped the link on home screen widget which was a feature I still want.So in all, it’s a solid phone. The only thing I wish it had was 5G, but that’s ok for now. I don’t see 4G going anywhere anytime soon.

Most functions for buck
Great battery life can charge my galaxy6 watch night vision camera and ir blaster. The rugged ability keeps me from breaking the phone like I’ve broken most my other phones.

Tolles robustes Handy mit super Klang. Halt was er verspricht.
