Today’s Deal is on the solid performing BLU VIVO 5R.  This 5.5″ phone as a 13MP Sony-built camera, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage and today, is on sale at Amazon for $179 for the gold version of the phone.  That’s a great price for a phone with the specs of this phone.  The phone is for GSM carriers here in the United States so it will work with the likes of AT&T, T-Mobile, Cricket, MetroPCS and Straight Talk.  It has multiple bands for LTE (2/4/7/12/17) and for HSPA+ (850/1700/1900/2100).  Unfortunately for readers on Sprint, Verizon or U.S. Cellular, this phone isn’t for you as it won’t work on those CDMA networks.

The VIVO 5R is a beautiful device with a curved glass display, a slim 8.1mm design constructed of aluminum and it has a Fingerprint Scanner.

BLU’s latest offering, the Life One X2, is now available for pre-order at their store front on Amazon.  The phone comes with either 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM for $135 or you can get the much better deal 64GB of storage and 4GB of RAM model for $180.  That’s a great price for a well appointed budget phone, something that BLU is well known for producing.

As for the specs, it isn’t too shabby.  The Life One X2 is a 5.2″ display device that is curved and gives you Full HD rendering.  It is protected by Gorilla glass 3 as well.  Powering the phone is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor.  That’s an octa-core processor running at 1.4GHz.  It’s not the fastest processor out there but keep the price point in mind here folks.  As mentioned, the phone has two options from a storage/RAM perspective at 16GB/2GB or 64GB/4GB.  That storage can be expanded up to an additional 64GB as it has a MicroSD card slot.

Florida based BLU Products has announced and released their latest phone and it is pretty impressive for the price point.  The new Pure XR is a 5.5″ display device with a whopping 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage that sells for $299 in silver or gold.  That alone makes this a pretty attractive device but diving into the specs a bit more, this is a serious phone.  It is powered by the MediaTek P10 octa-core processor running at 1l9GHz on four cores and 1GHz on the other four.  It has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage but can be expanded with an MicroSD card up to an additional 64GB.  The display is a 5.5″ Full-HD Super AMOLED curved display that has 3D touch technology and is protected by Gorilla Glass 3.  That display renders at 1080 x 1920 with ~401ppi.

From a camera perspective, the main camera is a 16MP camera with laser focus and the front facing camera is 8MP and designed to give wide angle selfies.

Today’s Deal over at Amazon is on the powerful but friendly priced BLU VIVO 5.  Right now the 5.5″ device with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage is down to $199.99 in either Gold or Silver.  BLU has made a name for themselves by having low cost devices that pack a fair amount of punch for the price.  The VIVO 5 is no different.  It is a full metal body design with a 5.5″ AMOLED display that gives you full HD quality, it has 3GB of RAM and has 32GB of storage built into it. You can expanded that up to an additional 64GB of storage (96GB total) thanks to the MicroSD slot in the chassis.  The phone is powered by the MediaTek 6753 processor which is a 1.3GHz octa-core processor so you should find it nicely responsive, especially coupled with the 3GB or RAM.
