Unfortunately, Blu’s Tango, billed as a starter smartphone, is unable to recover from some pretty serious blunders. It isn’t just more cheaply made than other entry-level handsets, it’s downright unpleasant to use.
Consider the resistive touch-screen display that’s only 2.8 inches, and you’ll start to see what we mean. Heap poor call quality and a $170 unlocked price tag on top of that, and you may agree it’s earned a place on our list of phones to steer clear of.
