BLU launches R2 smartphone lineup with bigger screen and battery
The BLU R2 features a 5.2 inch, 1280 x 720 pixel display, a 1.3 GHz MediaTek MT6737 quad-core processor with Mali-T720 graphics, Android 7.0 Nougat software, an 8MP rear camera, and a 3,000 mAh battery.
An entry-level BLU R2 smartphone features 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, and HSPA speeds. But there’s also a BLU R2 LTE with 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, a 13MP camera, and… you guessed it, 4G LTE support. A 3GB/32GB option also seems to be in the works.
For the most part the new BLU R2 phones seem like modest updates to the 2016 BLU R1 HD. They have bigger batteries, slightly bigger screens, slightly faster processors, and the same amount of memory and storage.
So the best reason to opt for the new R2 series phone may be that they ship with Android 7.x Nougat.
There’s no word on whether the BLU R2 or BLU R2 LTE will be part of the Amazon Prime Exclusive program. But if they do join the Prime Exclusive family, they’ll have to compete with a growing number of discounted handsets from Alcatel, Motorola, and Nokia.
