Blu Studio Mini from Amazon

[ronz91]

Hi guys

I am looking at getting this for my dad: https://www.amazon.com/BLU-Studio-S...ds=blu+studio+mini&qid=1584077307&sr=8-2&th=1

I see on a comparison on gsmarena: https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9877&idPhone2=9876&idPhone3=9731
the Studio mini covers less bands for 3G and 4G, will these affect coverage etc in SA? which are the main bands we use?

I have bought from Amazon a few times with no hassles. How is their return policy and how is it handled? Do I have to cover shipping back to them etc?

Compared the phone to the Nokia 2.2, as I was looking at that for around R1800. But the Studio Mini has dual-sim, 32gb memory.

Sounds like a good deal?



Also anyone used this before?

I see the phone shipped here is R1775 without that extra plan you were thinking of adding.

Take the hassle out, get the phone from Takealot and have a local warranty?
