Smartphone upstart Blu Products has dished
out three brand new Android-powered smartphones, each of them aimed at
different users and price points – but it’s the biggest one that’s caught our
eye. Fancy a 200 quid phablet? Look no further than the Blu Life View.
Despite measuring in at 8.9mm thin, the Blu
Life View packs in a 5.7-inch HD display along with a beefy 12-megapixel
autofocus camera with LED flash and a five-megapixel front-facing camera.
There’s plenty of storage space on the phone thanks to the 16GB of flash memory
built-in, which can also be expanded up to a further 32GB thanks to the microSD
memory card slot, plus a healthy 1GB of RAM to help you multi-task with ease.
Ringing up at $299 (£200), who needs a £465 Samsung Galaxy Note 2 when this phablet gives you plenty of
viewing space for less than half the price?
The Blu Life One, on the other hand, is a
fully aluminium-clad, five-inch smartphone, that’s protected by Gorilla Glass
2. Much like the View, the One also shares the same price point and specs, but
in a smaller and more manageable chassis. If you’re after something even
cheaper, Blu Products has you covered with its Life Play, which is priced at
$229 (£153). The low-range model measures in with a 7.9mm thin design, a
4.7-inch display and a five-megapixel rear camera. The storage built-in stacks
up shorter, as there’s only 4GB of space, but that’s also upgradeable via
microSD.
Each phone in the Blu Life series comes
packing the latest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean release, a 1.2 GHz quad-core
processor and even dual-SIM slots, so you can have one number for work and one
for play. The whole line is US only, but if you’re looking to import, they go
on sale at the end of April.
