If you're looking to buy an affordable dual SIM
smartphone in the US, you might be interested in the Blu R2 Plus, which is
available as of this week on Amazon. The R2 Plus is an upgraded variant of the
Blu R2 and like almost all Blu phones launched in the
US, it's sold unlocked.
Priced at US$ 179.99, the Blu R2 Plus has an aluminum
rear shell, and offers decent features to accompany its dual SIM capabilities.
Sporting a 5.5-inch 1080p display, the phone is powered by an octa-core MediaTek
MT6753 processor aided by 3 GB of RAM, so it should handle everyday tasks just
fine.
The new handset also comes with a fingerprint
scanner, 32 GB of expandable storage space, and a 3000 mAh battery. Moreover,
the device has 13 MP cameras on the rear and front, both with LED flashes -
thus, you can take selfies even in the dark.
The Blu R2 Plus is fully compatible with GSM/LTE
carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, Cricket, MetroPCS, and Straight Talk. The
smartphone currently runs Android 7 Nougat, and it's unclear if Blu will update
it to Android 8 Oreo.
