BLU Vivo 5R
BLU has announced Vivo 5R and the company says it's a "refreshed" version of the
Vivo 5 launched in February. We assume the word "successor" isn't in
BLU's dictionary, but that's exactly what the Vivo 5R is to the Vivo 5 in our
book.
The new handset comes with a 5.5-inch 1080p
touchscreen, a 13 MP main camera with Sony IMX258 sensor, phase detection
autofocus and a LED flash, an 8 MP selfie cam with LED flash, the MediaTek
MT6753 SoC at the helm (with a 1.3 GHz octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU), 3 GB of RAM,
32 GB of expandable storage, 4G, a fingerprint scanner on the back, and a 3,150
mAh battery with 10W quick charging. It runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Its
dimensions are 154.5 x 75.6 x 8.15 mm.
According to BLU, the Vivo 5R is compatible with the
networks of AT&T, T-Mobile, and MetroPCS. It's already up for pre-order at
Amazon for US$ 199.99 unlocked. It's
being offered in two color versions - Gun Metal Grey and White-Gold.
