BLU Zoey Flex Review & Pros And Cons

- Analysis by KJ David

In classic flip phone fashion, the BLU Zoey Flex delivers an ancient mix of technical pros and cons, but it does come with a pretty unconventional design. Instead of having an external screen behind its flip lid, it sports a tiny 1.8-inch display right above its alphanumeric keypad . Why, you ask? Well, it sports a quick-glance window on its lid , which displays the entire screen even when the phone is closed -- a facet that could turn out to be a pro when you want to check notifications in a jiffy.

Further down its specs list, we caught cons like a 2G-only (A few of its basic competitors support 3G network bands) network compatibility and an 800mAh battery that fails to reach our 1000mAh acceptable mark for basic devices. That said, some of BLU's other clamshell phones also suffer the aforementioned setbacks. It is also important to note that the Zoey Flex measures 17.9mm thick when closed , whereas some of its rivals have only 13mm body depths (but we have seen worse).

As for its selling points, the Zoey Flex accompanies its 32MB memory with support for up-to-32GB microSD cards , making it sound appealing compared to several other 2016-released flip phones storage-wise, since most of them only support 4GB/8GB memory cards. A standard FM radio and Bluetooth version 2.1 are aboard its package of pros and cons as well.

It also avoids being thrown into the miserable no-camera club by sporting a heavily-outmoded VGA (0.3-megapixel) camera, though it regrettably lacks an accompanying LED flash, unlike its Diva Flex and Diva Flip cousins.

Available in gold, black, and white, the BLU Zoey Flex, with its quick notification window, might be a good choice for basic phone buyers who tend to find themselves often on the go.
