BLU G91 Pro

“The G91 Pro kind of surprised me. I wasn’t expecting such a capable device, especially given Blu’s checkered past with quality and security. That said, the Blu G91 Pro is still a confusing phone. While Blu’s marketing pushes heavily on gaming power, gaming performance feels less prioritized than last year’s model. This, coupled with the less than stellar battery life, makes the device feel less like a gaming phone and more like a standard budget phone that can play games relatively well.”

“Its look betrays its low price point and the Moonstone is a fun color. In fact, while I do like having a protective case included in the box, it hides its beauty and makes for a thicker (and wonkier) in-hand experience. It's a great handset for a wide user base as it delivers on a number of important fronts. It has a large screen, really generous battery, and a software experience that's no-frills and essentially the way Google intended. For a lot of people that's the full list of requisite features. As an unlocked phone that works with a number of GSM carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc), it's an affordable alternative to the likes of Samsung's Galaxy A series or Motorola's G series of phones.”

“I really like the G91 Pro. It’s a looker and features top notch performance – despite the older CPU platform. Whatever optimizations have been done at the software level by whomever – BLU, MediaTek, or Google – have paid off. This is a phone I could happily recommend to almost anyone that isn’t a spec nerd. It comes at a great price and is a fine phone. It’s available for $249 from Amazon and it comes well recommended.”

“All in all, the G91 Pro is another good phone from BLU, though I can’t help but feel like last year’s G90 Pro was just … better? It looked nicer, the included case was better, the performance was a little bit snappier, and the cameras were just a little bit more impressive. The G91 Pro feels like a new phone for the sake of a new phone for the most part. I would’ve personally rather seen BLU put more effort into updating the G90 Pro with Android 11, but I get it. Software updates aren’t profitable, and at this price point, well, margins matter.”
