BLU C5L MAX | 2024 | All-Day Battery | GSM Unlocked | 5.7” Display | 16/2GB |US Version | US Warranty | Black

Granddaughter loved it Bit slow but good for a ten year old.

Got the phone but it dodnt work.

Very cheaply made. Doesn't respond. Bought for my partner who is not gentle with phones. Save your money and get something better.

I purchased this phone specifically for Android app development — Google requires testing on a physical device before submitting to the Play Store, and at this price point, the BLU C5L MAX seemed like a reasonable way to check that box. For that narrow purpose, it works. My app loaded and ran without issues, and the phone does technically function as an Android device. That said, the overall user experience is rough. The phone arrived with a completely dead battery out of the box, which meant waiting for a charge before I could even begin setup. Once powered on, every interaction felt sluggish. Simple tasks like navigating settings and enabling developer mode were an exercise in patience — individual button presses consistently took over a second to register. This is on a brand-new device with no additional apps installed, so performance would likely only degrade further with regular use. With 2GB of RAM and the entry-level hardware, the specs do set realistic expectations, but the lag goes beyond what I'd consider acceptable even for a budget phone. I genuinely cannot imagine using this as a daily driver for calls, texting, and apps. If you need the cheapest possible Android device to meet a specific technical requirement — like developer testing — it gets the job done. But if you're looking for a functional everyday phone, even on a tight budget, I'd strongly recommend saving up a bit more for something with better responsiveness.

Phone is worth the buy ..100%
