The only problem with Blu is that they abandon these phones upon release. I seriously doubt that the older Blu Studio Energy will see 5.0/5.1 (let alone Android 6.0), since they released pretty much the same phone with Android 5.0/5.1. I'm surprised ...

just dont add too much bloat and if BLU maintains 95% same as stock android then they can sell these in large numbers.
