   Very happily surprised!….
   So first off I was skeptical of the price and what was coming with that price. Well long story short I couldn’t be happier with this phone after one week of use. Beautiful big display, it feels very expensive, very high quality, it’s fast, plays any game with ease, internet surfing is blazing fast. The camera for me is awesome, I’m not a camera freak but I do like a nice camera on my phone, for me this camera is way better than my last phone which broke, a razor+ 2024, that phone was decent but so far this phone is better in my mind. I’ve always had high end phones, this phone being $200 to me it’s still high end, looks high end, feels high end and performs high end. The huge circle camera glass on the back scares me, I need a protector yesterday, as well as for the front, this phone feels like something you really want to protect, the case it came with is clear and I kinda like it, wish it came with a screen protector however. Anyway if I change my mind on how I feel about this phone I will update my review asap. Don’t worry about this $200 price tag, this phone has it all, at least it does in my book… So far I highly recommend this BLU K50 BOLD.
   I wasn’t expecting this much of a phone for the price, theres no reason why this phone isn’t triple or quadruple the price?. I will update review if I feel differently asap…

   Great phone for cheap.
   So far so good. This phone works really great for a cheap price. The display is very nice, crisp, clear, and smooth. The technical specs are decent and everything loads up quick and snappy. In other words it gets the job done well. It also comes with a lot in the box, including a clear TPU phone case, a charger and cable, and a pair of wired headset. Another good thing I like about this phone is that it has very little bloatware. Also the battery charges up fast and lasts for a long time. But otherwise I believe that Blu did a real great job on this phone and they really outdid themselves this time.

   Very adequate phone with good feel and great out of the box battery life
   Not my first BLU phone but my first Bold, not a bad option considering whats currently available. My last phone was a BLU F91 5G, which if it was still available I would have just bought another. I can’t reconcile mentally why there is no wireless charging. Seriously, all the reasonably priced options don’t have it any longer. The only reason I “upgraded” was because the battery in my old phone got hot enough to off gas and blow the back of the case off on my old phone so I did not have a ton of time to wait around looking for a new phone.
   I have been using this phone for a week and here are all the things I have noticed so far.
   1. It does have a dual sim card slot, but an odd one. Its on the bottom of the phone, and very difficult to get out even with the tool they provided, it took a bit of a hook to get it out. Its thicker than usual and the sim card kind of snaps in, because its double sided. You put one card facing out on the top and bottom, new to me after having dozens of phones. Nowhere could I find if it was dual sim in the documentation (Sim1 is on top).
   2. Its big enough storage to justify not having an SD card slot. I know nobody is doing it these days, but I have had more phones die than SD cards and a good waterproof SD card can save the day if you have a whole trips worth of pictures on the phone when you dunk it hard enough to kill the phone. But, with 256GB its got enough storage for all my MP3’s and lots of pictures (I travel a lot and am on the water often where I have no service but want to be able to have music on board) plus all my apps. There was a bunch of unnecessary bloatware but not terrible and it was easy to clean up. I am at 41% used before I start taking pictures so its a bit dicey for long term usage.
   3. The onboard storage is slow. Unbearably slow. Transferring my files from my Windows or Unix PC was maddeningly slow, regardless of USB cable or which port I used. These are the same devices and cables I use for my old phone as well as an even older BLU G91 Pro and they are both 100 times faster to copy files over USB either to the SD card or the internal storage. It was so slow and unusable that I had to try multiple cables and ports before giving up on moving my MP3’s over by USB and installing an FTP client on my phone. That was the only way I could move anything more than a few small files on or off the phone. Its something that I can overcome but its maddening.
   4. It came with a screen protector on it. Its good because there are not a lot of options yet, but I didn’t see that anywhere.
   5. The case it comes with is laughable and there are not many options currently and you never know if there ever will be. Honestly for this to be in the Bold line and not have a better case than this is a bit odd. My last 2 phones had the black lightly armored cases that were good enough not to need an upgrade, this one is going back a few years and its a throw away if you can find something better. The first one I have tried doesn’t even come close to having the right openings for this phone even if it fits the general form factor and camera lens so if you need a decent case maybe this is not the right phone for you.
   6. The fingerprint scanner is adequate but not great. Its in the screen which is the new hottness, but it doesn’t work as well as my last several low end phones. I have 7 or 8 fingerprints registered to try and help my two fingers work but I have to hold it just right to get it to unlock. It works and I am getting used to it but the back panel and power button scanners both work better for me.
   7. Battery life is fantastic and it charges well. It does take a bit more power to do a fast charge but it is very fast and the battery easily lasts me all day. No complaints at all, other than damn I wish it had wireless charging, I mean its 2024 and many, many cars have wireless charging and it would be great to be able to use it. I know it adds heat and I wouldn’t really use it in the summer and its not that fast but if you are driving its nice to just keep it topped off if you don’t want to deal with wires.
   8. The screen is just lovely. I really should have lead with this. its the nicest looking screen I have every used, and its very bright and very clear. It is so easy to read I might be in the market for a second one because my wife’s phone screen is terrible compared to this one.
   9. Its fast enough most of the time. Fastest phone I have ever had, very responsive nearly all the time. The ram is plenty for an old dude who has way to much open and way to many notifications all the time. The only thing slow so far is the camera, and I wonder if its because the storage is slow. That sucks for me, I have missed several candid shots already and experience has told me this is as fast as the phone will get. I am going to have to slow down myself and see if lowering the resolution will help but as of now the shutter speed is slow enough I have taken several pictures of my feet. I have only taken few a dozen pictures and a couple videos, and while they look really really good on the screen I haven’t tried them on a big screen yet. The camera would also benefit from some form of stabilization but it works well enough for the price point from a quality standpoint.
   Overall its a good phone, I wish it had a decent case, and faster camera and storage. It wouldn’t hurt to have an SD card slot. It still sucks to not have wireless charging. I hope BLU brings that one back. Its a great phone to look at and feels good in my hand and for the price its very good.

   Best Phone Ever
   This phone is fast, reliable, sleek, simple, and honestly amazing. I have have iPhones, Samsung ZFlip s, Galaxies, all of the above and legit this phone is the best one I’ve used in a very long time. I’m also very critical when I review, so like, yeah, this phone is a beast. It’s worth trying, the price is unbeatable and between the battery life lasting on a charge for like 2/3 days at a time, the touch screen ease, sound options and quality, and the storage being expensive via cloud while already being massive, this phone is the answer. For real, buy this one. It’s 100% worth it. $1000 phone quality for $200. #GameChanger

   Long time Blue user – This phone is ok, but with some major issues
   Loaded everything right up and got my apps and media transferred over within an hour. Problem is, it should have taken five seconds. I have all of that on an SD card. The Blu Bold K50 does not have an SD card, only a SIM. -1 Star.
   Phone shipped with low battery, put it on the wireless charger. NO WIRELESS CHARGING. That is the worst. -1 Star.
   Android 14, Plus 1 Star. This is a good OS.
   SUPER FAST. This phone is fast and responsive. Plus 1 Star.
   Screen. AMOLED i have missed you. Plus 1 Star.
   This manufacture needs to list things like lack of sd card or wireless charging. These are features I expect from a phone.
