The $50 Blu phone with a catch

2016-09-12
how much can you stand add if it knocks fifty dollars off your phone will you be able to tolerate it then that's basically what the blue are one HD phone boils down to available through e-commerce giant Amazon the r-1 HD costs a hundred dollars for the eight gig variant and 110 dollars for the 16 gig version but that price drops to fifty and sixty dollars if you allow ads to run on your handset these ads appear only on the lock screen and can be as small as a notification that you can swipe away or as big as a whole screen the device also comes preloaded with a bunch of Amazon apps and a removable widget that displays daily deals on amazon in terms of specs the phone runs android 6.0 our shmellow has a 5-inch 720 pixel display and a 1 point 3 gigahertz quad-core processor on the back there's an 8 megapixel shooter and on the front is a 5 megapixel camera with a flash but I did run into a few drawbacks it can be laggy it's 2.5 ampere our battery takes a long time to charge and the audio speakers volume is low when you make calls at its full retail price the handset isn't really worth it especially when there are several other phones available at the same price range like a samsung galaxy j3 the ZTE zmax Pro and the motorola moto g however if you do get the version with the ads these compromises may be worth it if all you're going to pay is fifty or sixty dollars for more on the blue are one HD check out our full review at cnet com you
