Introduction/Definition/etc
BLU (Bold Like U)
is a Miami Florida based cell phone
distributor, packaging Chinese
phones for the USA market
G71L is a series and model of BLU
an Android 11 OctoCore device
with FM Radio reception
so MediaTek UniSOC
chipset
It's not a 5G
that's a higher model F91
currently only available thru Amazon
and not yet at MicroCenter
(which sales don't seem to like the brand
up selling only part of it afaict)
WikiPedia has something on
security problems
with BLU smartphones
similar with Zoom?,
though may have been fixed/ idk...
Others ones at MicroCenter
BluG51Plus2021
had an open box at about half list price
but lower Memory and Storage
2 (3-4)Gig RAM
64Gig
and other capabilities
G91S
had similar to G71L storage
way better camera
USB C charging
HeadSet included
but not any open box/ returns,
to bring down the ~$200 list price
and likely still Android 11
and not upgrading?
All pre Holiday season so might change,
with competition/ new devices coming out, idk
most probably want Apple iPhones
and for waterproof cases and things like that
may make some sense
just not as much for (poor old ...) me...

The devices from going on a year ago
where having some problems, battery not
keeping much of a charge,,
so looking at MicroCenter.com website
through a low data plan, and started
thinking about stuff...
Which one(s)?
The G91S
F91?
but they had a couple open box G71Ls
for about half price, one higher
but bought the cheaper,
the process wasn't that great, trying to get an
answer to would it upgrade to Android 12?
and the online pickup cashier
didn't know, so try a sales guy,
an older Asian guy
who didn't seem to understand
the question,
evasive and unhelpful but still wanted to
put his sticker on the thing
he ended up asking someone else,
and said it was sold as is,
which still didn't answer it,
finally i guess saying no,
but others think yes,
carrying away the ones,
and coming back,
something about warranty?
remainder of the warranty?
from when original release data?
or someone else buying it and returning,
when they have a no returns on phones
police citing ConVid19
but how do theyeven have open box
if not taking returns?
so definitely something wrong there...
do you want it?
what i want is not to be harassed?
sweated?
and an answer to the question
but i guess buy it and prove them wrong?
so taped closed with regular tape
opened it outside the store
to make sure it was in there
no ear buds
and none listed
the difference between the two prices
as missing manuals?
but seemed to have that...
and similar priced stickers ended up on both
$95
not $79
plus tax about $85
and had to reserve it
while the columns were not lining up
sideways so not sure which was which
had to select one then delete it from the cart
and go back
try the other cheaper one...
2 updates
both security fixes of about the same size
26 MB
so not sure which was which
and taking a very long time
setting things up
taking more than the weekend to do
finding things missing
started to copy from the cloud
but slow and aborted that somehow,
multiple windows were trying to do things
and problems getting it going,
likely connection related,
finally going to WiFi at a library
which i had things to do,
but update a lot of DeVices
older ones,
some list of apps
TEd had to search for Xavier Gouchet
and pull a link from GitHug Repo
as so old not finding it
and finding other things instead
liked Television Entertainment Design
and Text Editor so many of those in the gPlay store
FireFox Nightly
Google One
Google Gallery
FlowFree
Solitaire Games
so many of those too,
need the compnay name
PipeArt
WordNut
WikiPedia
WikiPedia Beta
removing so many things too
Pandora
News reader
and some games
that i don't want
Google Play Games
keeps some history and scores of games
some want FaceBook saving
so have to start over
WordNut for instance over level 1300
but start back at 1 for new game,
others email with backup and restore,
but don't recall
turning off the sound
haptic key presses
time and date
format
24 hour
developer mode
under kernel
select many times until one
gKeyBoard
many apps updating
system apps since machine released
battery was around 50%
and wrapped in plastic
power plug and brick was opened
so someone had some something with it
but what?
lots of settings for first runs
gPhotos takes a long time to setup
as have GigaBytes
and it wants to know
backup
size of things
original
folders
Open Camera
setting up
time stamps
format 24h
Artist
CopyRight
GPS
location
frame work
V2?
etc

where having some problems,
battery not keeping much of a charge,
so looking at MicroCenter.com website
through a low data plan, and started
thinking about stuff...
Which one(s)?
The G91S top of the line there
But 5G? F91?
MicroCenter had a couple open box G71Ls
for about half price,
one higher
but bought the cheaper,
the process wasn't that great,
trying to get an answer to
would it upgrade to Android 12?
and the online pickup cashier
didn't know, so try a sales guy,
an older Asian guy
who didn't seem to understand
the question,
evasive and unhelpful
but still wanted to
put his commission sticker on the thing
he ended up asking someone else,
carrying away the ones,
and coming back,
and said it was sold as is,
which still didn't answer it,
finally i guess saying no,
but others think yes,
something about warranty?
remainder of the warranty?
from when?
original release date?
or someone else buying it and returning,
(Unknown to the next purchaser
As hidden info by the store)
when they have a no returns on phones
policy citing ConVid19
but how do they even have open box
if not taking returns?
so definitely somethings wrong there...
do you want it?
what i want is not to be harassed?
Toyed with / manipulated
sweated?
and an answer to the question
but i guess I'd have to buy it
and prove them wrong?
opened it outside the store
to make sure it was in there and
see it's taped closed with regular tape
no ear buds
and none listed

Charging with old Micro D connector
Like G51Plus
Wondering how much slower
Brick is 2Amps 5V
2 system updates
both security fixes of about the same size
26 MB
so not sure which was which
and taking a very long time
setting things up
taking more than the weekend to do
finding things missing
started to copy from the cloud
but slow and aborted that somehow,
multiple windows were trying to do things
Play store & system update
As well as 1st run configuring
and problems getting it going,
likely connection related,
finally another day
going out to WiFi at a library
which i had other things to do,
but update a lot of DeVices

Conclusion
Summary of experience or similar
Took the MicroCenter 32Gig memory card
and became available to apps
not just portable storage,
a long standing issue,
now at least some progress...
But complained it was slow,
and might not work...
Formatted and likely would want it to do both,
store apps and be backup to put into something
else like Portable if the device had problems,
converting/ upgrading/
settings, backup etc...
ReCovery that's the word i was looking for,
recover data from a(n) uSD card
say drop and screen cracks,
etc...
Discussion
A place for feedback on the page presented
What makes a good device
for you?
for others?
is that the same?
How long does it take for you to adjust
and configure another device?
Starting all over?
or from a backup/ cloud/ direct transfer?
Configuring all the apps?
Hours?
Days?
Weeks?
ForEver?
