BLU’s parade of low-priced smartphones with attractive specs continues. The company is launching an update to last year’s BLU Life One X… and the new model is cleverly called the BLU Life One X2.
Like last year’s model, the new phone has a 5.2 inch full HD display and a starting price of $150. But the BLU Life One X2 also has an updated processor, improved cameras, and a fingerprint scanner.
The BLU Life X2 should begin shipping October 7th, but the phone is up for pre-order from Amazon for $15 – $20 off the list price.
That means you can get a model with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage for $135 or a 4GB/64GB model for $180 if you order early.
BLU’s new phone features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor, a 16MP rear camera, an 8MP wide-angle camera, a metal body, a Gorilla Glass 3 screen, and a 3,000 mAh battery with support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 (get a 70 percent charge in 30 minutes).
The phone supports US GSM networks and includes supports for bands 12 and 17. Other features include a USB Type-C port, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, FM Radio, and a microSD card slot.
The BLU Life One X2 comes in grey and rose gold colors and the phone comes with a screen protector, case, and earbuds.
