BLU’s newest smartphone is a budget Android phone with a 5.5 inch 1080p display, an 8-core CPU, a fingerprint scanner, and a 3,150 mAh battery.

The BLU Vivo 5R is basically an updated version of the Vivo 5 that launched earlier this year. But the new model has a higher-resolution screen, an improved camera, and it ships with Android 6.0 rather than Android 5.1.

The price remains the same: the BLU Vivo 5R is now up for pre-order for $200. It should begin shipping on September 21st.
