BLU Life View hands-on
Posted in: Today's Chili
Looking for a smartphone with a large display, decent specs and a price tag just shy of $300 unlocked and contract-free? It’s not an easy thing to find here in the US of A, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. In fact, a little-known manufacturer out of Miami known as BLU is doing its darndest to get on the map and show off its brute handset-making skills at a reasonable cost. It’s been a big player in the KIRF arena for quite some time, but its latest lineup of phones — Life — appears to have a bit of personality of its own. Of the devices in the Life series, we’ve received an early unit of the Life View, a 5.7-inch Android model, from our friends at Negri Electronics, an online retailer that recently began selling the device for $299. Take a closer look at our gallery of images below and then follow us after the break for a few impressions.

Motorola, Samsung, Apple, BlackBerry, LG, Nokia, Huawei, these we all have heard and read about them daily in the news when it comes to mobile devices, especially smartphones and tablets. What do you know about BLU Products? My point exactly, not much, although they claim to be one of the fastest growing mobile phone manufacturers in the world. Having said that, BLU Products have announced their latest BLU LIFE Series of smartphone devices that will run on MediaTek’s MT6589 1.2GHz quad-core chipset that brings together a power-efficient ARM Cortex-A7 subsystem, PowerVR Series5XT GPU, and HSPA+ 41Mbps modem.
