Why the BLU G91 Max Is Underrated — And Why It Offers Great Value

Introduction
The BLU G91 Max is one of those phones that flies under many buyers’ radar. It doesn’t scream “flagship,” but it delivers a lot of what everyday users need — strong cameras, large battery, decent performance — at a price that makes sense. If you’re willing to look beyond the big-name brands, this phone gives you serious bang for your buck.

What the BLU G91 Max Brings to the Table

• High-Resolution Main Camera — A 108 MP Samsung HM2 primary sensor leads its quad-camera setup, backed by a 5 MP ultrawide, 2 MP macro, and 2 MP depth sensor. If you shoot photos in daylight or good lighting, the results are very competitive. (GSMArena)
• Big Battery + Reasonable Charging — It has a 5,000 mAh battery which is generous, and enough to last a full day or more with moderate use. It supports 18W wired charging and even 10W wireless charging. (GSMArena)
• Large Display — The screen is a 6.8-inch IPS LCD with Full HD+ resolution (1080 x ~2460), giving sharp visuals for video, games, and reading. It’s not ultra-premium in features like high refresh rate, but it’s solid for the price. (GSMArena)
• Memory & Storage — 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage are generous for this class. Plenty for many apps, media files, and multitasking. Also has a microSD slot. (GSMArena)
• Comfort & Extras — Dual SIM, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, 3.5 mm jack, sizeable body, and color options like Sky Blue and Gray. (Mobile57)

Where It Falls Short

• No 5G support; limited to 4G LTE. For regions moving fast to 5G, that may be a downside. (GSMArena)
• Charging speeds are modest compared to some modern budget phones that offer much faster wired charging. (Gizmochina)
• Bluetooth version is older (Bluetooth 4.1) in many sources. Also lacks NFC in most listings, which limits some contactless features. (GSMArena)
• It’s a large and somewhat heavy phone (213 g), so not for everyone if you want something compact. (GSMArena)

Why It’s Underrated

Many people focus on flashy specs: high refresh rate displays, extreme charging speed, 5G, etc. The G91 Max doesn’t lead in those categories. But for users who prioritize camera quality, battery life, adequate storage, and everyday performance over “bling”, this phone gives more than what many phones cost at similar price points. Because it packs many useful features without the premium branding, it tends to be overlooked, but for those who care about real-world usability, it’s a strong option.

Current Price in Kenya

• One listing shows KES 27,900 at Mobile57 Kenya. (Mobile57)
• Another listing on PhoneAqua quotes a price range of about KES 19,650 to KES 24,890 depending on stock, seller, and condition. (Phoneaqua)
• A third source (Gizmobo) lists price about KES 28,750 for a new unit. (Gizmobo)

So realistic market price in Kenya right now is around KES 20,000-30,000, depending on condition (new vs refurbished), seller, and whether import/shipping is involved.

Where It Can Be Bought in Kenya

• Mobile57 Kenya — has listings for the BLU G91 Max at about KES 27,900. (Mobile57)
• PhoneAqua — shows various offers in the KES 19,650 to KES 24,890 range. (Phoneaqua)
• Gizmobo — another retailer with price listings around KES 28,750. (Gizmobo)
• Refurbished outlets / online used phone shops — sometimes have the phone at lower prices; good to check condition and warranty.

Conclusion

The BLU G91 Max is underrated because it doesn’t lead in hype, but in everyday use it delivers many features people really care about: large battery, excellent cameras, solid memory, big display. For someone who isn’t chasing every new spec but wants a phone that works well and gives a lot of value, this is a strong contender. If you can pick one up around KES 22,000-28,000 in Kenya, it’s likely you’re getting more than what you pay for.
