    I have this phone it's very impressive. It also has a built in FM Radio. If you go into setting under sounds you can turn on Hi-Fi mode. The camera also has a Pro Mode as well . You can also play around with how you want your display to look as well under display settings, from different colors to different sized text and so on.

    I own the Blu Bold N3 it was 200$ actually received several updates with Blu does not normally do I've had this phone for over 1 years and it's still shocking great and fast this phone seems to be a twin this phone is almost the exact same size as the s22ultra and Pixels 7pro great phone for 200$

    Could be just what I'm looking for. I don't need a second phone, but I certainly could use a smaller (than a Pixel 7) device as drone screen and a camera for a gimbal. If it runs the DJI apps, I'm in!

    One thing I noticed about this phone that actually blew my mind is the fact that this phone has a 1080p screen and all the other good specs yet it doesn't support 1080p video on streaming apps🤦🏾‍♂️

    A shame just a single speaker, when $100 brand new phones are available now with stereo speakers. It's a downer. In the $200 now they got serious competition.

    I am getting close to my final decision. I am between the Bold K50 and the Moto G Stylus 2024. What are your pros and cons between those? Apart from price. Which phone beats the other?

    • @ObscureTech
      @ObscureTech  17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Funny. My next video phone wise is the moto g stylus. I got the moto for $39 through my carrier and it’s freaking goooood. Love this thing

    • @banishedepsilon1802
      @banishedepsilon1802 9 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I would probably go with the Moto G Stylus 2024 due to it having a headphone jack and an SD card port. I am also a fan of Motorola's gestures (double chop to turn on flashlight, twist to open camera, etc) and some of their other software features.

    • @banishedepsilon1802
      @banishedepsilon1802 9 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      But the Bold K50 coming with a charging block and surprisingly a pair of USB-C earbuds is pretty nice. Both phones are good options for the price, the winner really comes down to what features you value or don't value.

All their latest phones from 2022 to now are rebrands, those came either from Cherry Mobile a Philippine brand or Lava Mobile.

      5g is fast, but that only matters when your carrier allows you to have access to those speeds.
