BLU Android

The Pure XR handset that BLU teased a couple of weeks or so ago is now official. Not only that, but the device is already on sale at Amazon and Best Buy, priced at $299.99 unlocked.

So what do you get for that amount of cash? A 5.5-inch 1080p AMOLED touchscreen, a 16 MP rear camera with phase detection and laser autofocus and LED flash, an 8 MP selfie shooter, MediaTek's Helio P10 chipset at the helm (with a 2 GHz octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU and Mali-T860 GPU), 4GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, a fingerprint scanner, LTE Cat.6 support, and a 3,000 mAh battery. The phone runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Its dimensions are 154.3 x 74.9 x 7 mm, and it weighs 147g.

It's available in gold and grey, and there are no unsightly plastic bits in its full metal body. The display has 2.5D curved Gorilla Glass 3 on top. Apple-like 3D Touch functionality is provided, and the bundled charger is a 9V/2A unit (so 18W) with quick charging up to 50% from 0 in 30 minutes.

So now that the full specs are out our initial assumption that this was a rebranded Gionee S8 has become certainty. The two phones look the same, have the same specs, and even the exact same dimensions.

Getting this for its decent and reasonable price and not being a Chinese junk phone.
