what's up guys Lew here back with another video and today we are looking at something unusual it's unusual because it's a $59 phone full fledged Android phone you might not have even known that it was possible to buy one for that amount of money but this is the advanced 4.0 from a company called blue who appear to specialize in budget Android smartphones anyway I kept seeing this pop up on Amazon and I was like you know what why not grab it buy it and tell you guys whether or not it's any good or if it sucks the box is a lot of fun stuff on the front here you can see it says advanced 4.0 and it looks like a relatively stock Android experience from this background we'll find out when we get inside that's a party on the back right there 4.0 capacitive touchscreen good thing it's capacitive 480 by 800 res 3d gaming that's important record up to 720p video it has a 4G HSPA+ 21 megabits per second no LTE here dual-core CPU 5 megapixel camera it's running jelly bean it has a micro SD card expansion slot Bluetooth and of course wireless connectivity wireless LAN Wi-Fi whatever you wanna call it pretty comfy no one it reminds me of a lot is the Nexus S the Nexus S which I actually own so this feels really familiar so volume rocker over here on the left hand side removable back let's go ahead and try that a little bit stiff incredibly stiff Wow come on come on blue can do it blue oh holy moly there we go success whoa we are looking at dual SIM card slots Wow and a micro SD that's pretty cool we've also got a power brick of course a micro USB cable to charge it up they give you a headset here's our battery 1600 mil and half hours not huge but you're dealing with a smaller device smaller screen we'll see how that works out whoa a case getting a case for 59 looks like blue is no joke it's kind of like a smoke smoke flavor to it but I can't speak to the flavor but all right so capacitive buttons on the front here's something different the microUSB connector is on the top so you charge this device on the top it's also where your headphone jack is nothing on the bottom except for a microphone so let's go ahead now the screen is not the best I've seen it's a little bit washed out and there is like a visible gap between the glass on the top and the actual LCD panel below it has haptic feedback by head over to brightness I am at full brightness so that is any major drawback there you go that's a $59 phone against the I don't know it's just like $650 phone you know what given the price difference you can have like what is it a hundred of these for the same that was a joke by the way here's the camera okay I don't know if you guys can see that I mean the image is okay it's about as much as I'm willing to say about that image it does take pictures that's a plus truthfully I expected it to lag more and be a little bit slower around the the UI into the forward-facing camera oh there's me this one's even worse you're not gonna be getting the hottest selfies off this I don't know if you can see see that there here's YouTube let's see how snappy this is if I try to open up a video real quick you guys see that there here we go you're not buying it because it's the best camera in the world you're not buying it because it has the brightest or most beautiful screen to look at you're buying it as a phone to communicate for texting to have a basic web browser on the go and I think there's some bonuses in here like the dual SIM card slots that you don't see everywhere it's not gonna be the fastest phone either and it probably won't have the best battery life but for $59 it's really amazing the point at which we're at maybe it's your first cell phone this is an interesting place to start and it's only fifty nine bucks so to answer the question about whether or not it sucks I would say no it doesn't suck I think for $59 this entire package is better than I expected if you want to check out the device for yourself I'll drop a link down in the description but as of right now I think it's $59 well-spent granted this space is becoming more crowded you've got things like the Moto e that come in under 100 bucks and then you've got a number of phones under 200 bucks I'm happy that it exists it doesn't suck it's surprisingly decent for 59 bucks the blue advanced 4.0 so there it is if you guys enjoyed this content make sure to leave a thumbs up down below also I'm thinking about doing more videos like this with this title does it suck maybe things that you see on Amazon that are inexpensive that you think should suck that you assume suck but actually don't that they might be a good value if you have any suggestions leave them down in the comment section or hit me up on Twitter all right that really wraps it up thanks again for watching and I'll catch you on the next episode later guys
