BLU View 1 (B100DL) Tracfone Review

BLU View 1 Review - Tracfone Smartphone

TracfoneReviewer shares the latest news, reviews and promo codes!

blu view 1 specs features review
Tracfone BLU View 1 Review
The BLU View 1 is a newly released (late 2019) Android powered smartphone available through Tracfone and we will be sharing the full list of features, specs and more in this review.

The highlights for the BLU View 1 include the 5.5" touchscreen, Android 9.0 Pie, and compatibility with GSM or CDMA networks on Tracfone prepaid service.

Tracfone offers a wide variety of cell phones to use with their prepaid service. All the phones from Tracfone are locked to their service and cannot be used with other service providers (Learn how to unlock your Tracfone here).

Some of the other recent smartphones from Tracfone include the Samsung Galaxy A10e, LG Journey, and LG Solo. We will be comparing the BLU View 1 to these devices further on. See all the new phones in our Latest List of Tracfone Smartphones.

Let's start with our pro's and con's for the BLU View 1.

BLU View 1 Quick Facts

What we Like:
Low price
Large screen
Android 9.0 Pie

What we Don't Like:
Only 16 GB Storage
Low Screen Resolution
Slow Processor

The BLU View 1 leans heavily towards the budget friendly side of the scale with many retailers listing it for $50-60. But that comes with some cuts on features and it seems that the screen and performance were some of the areas BLU cut back on to keep the cost low.

Let's take a closer look at the full list of features and specs on the BLU View 1 to see exactly what it offers.

BLU View 1 Features and Specs

Below are the features followed by the technical specs
  • Android 9.0 Pie
  • 4G LTE on CDMA or GSM (Depends on ZIP code)
  • Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi Direct, hotspot
  • Bluetooth 4.1
  • Alarm Clock
  • GPS
  • MP3 Player
  • Standard 3.5mm Headphone Jack
  • Hearing Aid Compatible
  • Access to over 1 Million Apps on Google Play
  • Voicemail, Caller ID, Call Waiting
  • SMS/MMS
  • USB Charger
Samsung Galaxy A10e Technical Specs
Size: 5.6'' (H) x 2.8'' (W) x 0.4'' (D) inches - 5.4 oz
Camera: 8 MP Rear Camera with LED Flash,  5 MP Front Camera
Screen: 5.5" screen 18:9 ratio (480x960 resolution)
Processor: Quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53
Memory: 2 GB
Storage: 16 GB internal storage (supports up to 64 GB MicroSD Card)
Battery: 2,500 mAh battery (removable) with talk time up to 13 hrs, standby 20 days

BLU is a cell phone manufacture based in Miami, FL that specializes in low-cost smartphones. They have been around since 1985, and launched their own brand, BLU, in 2010.

Time for a more detailed look at some of the important features on the BLU View 1 with our review.

BLU View 1 Tracfone Review

Touchscreen
The BLU View 1 comes with a large 5.5" screen in the popular 18:9 ratio which are both great features on this phone. The resolution on the screen, however, is not great, at just 480x960 pixels which is about 195 pixels per inch. By comparison, the Galaxy A10e has 295 PPI and the average for smartphones is 300 PPI. The higher the PPI the more detailed images will be on the screen.

Overall the screen is large, but not the most impressive when it comes to quality and clarity.

Internal Specs - Storage, Processor and RAM
Most Tracfone smartphones come with 16 GB storage and 2 GB RAM, and the BLU View 1 follows this trend. But most users would prefer a larger storage capacity, at 32 GB, which allows for many more apps, photos, songs and more to be kept on the device. The actual internal storage on the BLU View 1 after the Operating System and pre-installed apps is closer to 6 GB. Additional storage is available with a microSD card.

As for the processor, it is a Quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 which balances performance with energy consumption. It is not the best for resource intensive games or apps.

Camera
The 8 MP rear camera on the BLU View 1 comes with an LED flash and 1080p recording capability. There is also a front facing selfie camera with 5 MP. Overall the cameras are adequate, but can be slow and struggle in lower lighting.

Check out our 8 Tips for Taking Better Cell Phone Pictures

Battery
At 2500 mAh, the battery is on the smaller side but still enough power to get through most of a day with low to moderate usage. On the bright side, the battery is removable in case you want to replace it at some point.

Android OS
The operating system on the BLU View 1 is Android 9.0 Pie which features a number of nice improvements over previous versions. Some of those improvements include gesture navigation, app usage statistics and time limits, and adaptive battery for improved performance.

Tracfone does not typically allow phones they sell to get OS updates so it is usually best to get a phone with a more recent version of Android to keep it secure and free from any risks. In some cases Tracfone has offered OS updates.

Design
Compared to some of the other recent phones form Tracofne including the Samsung Galaxy A10e, the BLU View 1 is nice, but just not as sleek. It has large bevels around the screen, and is a little thicker than many.

Conclusion
This phone comes in at a very reasonable price, but the lack of any impressive features leave it better suited for users looking for a backup device or a phone they won't use for too much beyond calling and texting. The BLU View 1 just doesn't have the performance to keep up with more resource intensive applications and the screen while large, just isn't the best quality.

For some other options with more performance, storage and improved screen, consider the Samsung Galaxy A10e or even the Moto G6 which has been available for a couple years now.

Where to Buy the BLU View 1

Find the BLU View 1 from a variety of retailers online:

The Future of Tracfone in 2020

New Phones, Predictions, and Changes for Tracfone in 2020

TracfoneReviewer shares the latest news, reviews and Tracfone promo codes!

tracfone new phones 2020
The Future of Tracfone in 2020
With 2019 gone and the decade coming to a close, there is sure to be plenty of changes, new phones, and more for 2020. Each year we look at what the future might hold for Tracfone with our predictions.

We will share some possible new phones coming soon, network closing news, and a look back at the most popular phones from last year.

For those curious about our previous predictions, look back at our post for 2019.

Note - TracfoneReviewer is not affiliated with Tracfone Wireless in any way, we make our predictions based on trends and our own experiences.

Let's begin with a quick review of what happened in 2019.

Looking Back at 2019 

The year of 2019 was relatively quiet when it came to the release of new phones. We saw a handful of new devices but many were low-end budget phones that are not very popular.  Some of the new phones include the Samsung Galaxy A10e, LG Journey, and LG Solo. Visit our List of the Latest Phones to see everything new.

One surprise was the launch of Tracfone's unlimited smartphone plans which offers $20, $25 and $30 monthly plans with unlimited talk and text, and a certain amount of data.

The biggest thing to happen in 2019 was the 3G CDMA network closure that was supposed to take place at the end of 2019. However, because Verizon delayed their 3G network closure, Tracfone has also delayed theirs until December 2020.

If you want to learn more and see a list of compatible phones, view the the full Tracfone 3G Network Closure post here.

Popular Tracfones from 2019

Based on our own data, these are the most popular phones in 2019 for Tracfone users. What is most surprising to us is that all of these phones were actually released in 2018.
Each of these devices offers great value with the Moto G6 featuring 32 GB internal storage. But they are also starting to be a little outdated.

What to Expect from Tracfone in 2020

New Phones from Tracfone
There are a variety of new phones likely to come to Tracfone in 2020, here are some of the possibilities.
  • LG Stylo 5 (LGL722DL)
  • Samsung Galaxy A20
  • Samsung Galaxy A50
  • Moto E6
  • Moto G7 Power/Play
  • iPhone 8
  • iPhone X
  • iPhone 11
Some of these phones are already available on Tracfone's other brands like Total Wireless and Straight Talk.

The phones released by Tracfone in 2019 were mostly underwhelming and not really worth upgrading to so we are expecting they will release some new phones early in 2020, such as a newer Samsung or Moto device with 32 GB storage.

What to Expect from Airtime
With the addition of monthly unlimited plans, Tracfone appears to be trying hard to promote these cards over anything else they offer. They also quietly removed the $20 smartphone card, which was one of the best deals for data and texts.

We don't expect to see any major changes to airtime in 2020, but Tracfone may work towards phasing out the regular airtime cards and focusing on smartphone cards.

What to Expect from Tracfone Promo Codes
Tracfone has continued to provide promotional codes for both regular airtime cards and smartphone only cards with some of the codes for add-on cards offering great bonuses. However, Tracfone did make some subtle changes, making it so the majority of their codes can only be used when buying airtime rather than just adding it to your phone.

Of course we continue to share and update codes on our Tracfone Promo Code page.

What to Expect from Network Closings
Verizon's 3G CDMA network is scheduled to close at the end of 2020 which means Tracfone will also have to get costumers to migrate to new compatible phones by the end of the year. Any phone currently for sale on the Tracfone website is compatible with VoLTE, so if you need to upgrade, take a look there to start.

AT&T also has plans to shut down their 3G network, but this isn't scheduled for another couple years.
'
Follow all the information on this in our 3G Network Closure post.

What we Want from Tracfone in 2020

Unfortunately, as we look back at the year, the things we hoped for in 2019 are still things we hope for today, specifically better customer service and more phones with better specs like 32 GB storage.

A few years back it seemed like Tracfone was working towards improving customer service but in the last year or two, based on reports from our readers and our own experience, it doesn't seem like much as improved. It can still be very frustrating and confusing when trying to sort out issues with Tracfone and we hope that they will work harder in 2020 at making customer service one of their strong points rather than such a problem.

Along with that point we also are eager for Tracfone to move more quickly in releasing smartphones on their network that have at least 32 GB storage and the amicability to keep up with the needs of an average consumer.

That's it for our predictions of the future of Tracfone in 2020. We hope you find this useful and interesting. Remember that these are just our predictions and always subject to change.
