I'm blue da ba dee da ba daa... Hey everybody today we're gonna take a look at a
budget Android phone the Blu Vivo 8L look at gold lettering so fancy
Alright before we take a look at the phone obviously we're gonna go through a
quick unboxing here I'm gonna open this up there's the phone set that aside just
a weird sticker this is interesting the tray that the phone
comes in is actually like coated with a felt material that's kind of nice
what else hmm microUSB to regular USB adapter for
some reason though our USB cord of course charger, headphones and sim removal tool
and I assume the rest is just boring Oh nope nope nope nope we got a case we got
a case here folks okay clear plastic case for free
included I didn't even know that was in there you know it's good when they list
all the specs out on the front plastic and now my favorite part and your
favorite part you want to hear it yeah I know you want to hear it
oh that's so nice look there's the buttons are actually etched into the
bottom of the phone here so it looks basically like a phone it's a rounded
rectangle that's black alright let's give a quick rundown of the specs of
this phone so first of all 5.3 inch screen but that screen is only 1280 by
720 that's only 277 pixels per inch quite a
bit lower than everything else that's on the market these days it has a mid-range
mediatek CPU with eight different cores the back camera is 13 megapixels the
front camera is 20 megapixels so the selfie cam is actually a higher mega I
want to say better but higher megapixel camera than the back facing camera three
gigs of ram 32 gigs internal storage micro SD card slot that can take a 64
gig card so you can expand 4,000 milliamp hour battery and it comes with
Android 7 those specs don't sound particularly amazing so why would you buy
this well it is cheap if you are not gonna be high-end gaming on your phone
or you don't want the fastest thing you don't want a super high-end name-brand
this phone we bought $179 shipped what less than $200 for an Android phone
with you know not high end specs but respectable I think the worst thing on
that list is probably the res but you can get around that if you're just using
your phone for web browsing and texting and things like that alright let's do a
quick Hardware walk around on the phone embossed buttons not software buttons
front-facing camera of course volume up and down and the power button are on the
same side on the right-hand side of phone we got fingerprint reader we got
back camera and flash we got our sim card and SD card slot so they're both in
one slot and we got micro USB so they haven't upgraded to USB-C yet and
headphone jack hooray we can plug in all our headphones that we've
using for like 50 years boo all of you who are getting rid of headphone jacks
alright so we've run through the specs but how does the phone actually feel and
function well I just ran through the startup and that went pretty quick no
noticeable lag from any other phone I've ever set up it seems to be pretty smooth
and honestly you know a normal cell phone distance about arm's length I
can't really see a lower resolution on the screen like if I hold it up here
yeah I can see the edges of the icons are kind of a little bit blurry than
normal but I'm holding out here it makes no difference I want to see if this
selfie cam is any any good yeah there's a handsome devil nice with this phone
being less than 200 bucks it's hard to see a reason why other phones are so
expensive is there really give or take 800 dollars difference between this and
the highest end of the big boys I'm not so sure but you guys can decide for
yourselves on that one conclusion final thoughts all that stuff what do I
think about it what should you think about it well I'm actually pretty
impressed with it for under $200 it is a good phone there
I said it I said it it's good if you're looking for a phone that's under 200
bucks you should definitely buy the Blu Vivo 8L. That wraps up our look at it
I'll see you guys next time!
