Ah, good old BLU Mobile. For the uninformed, BLU Mobile is a company that rebrands and sells Gionee devices in countries where they’re hard to get, and they remain as the most reliable wayĀ to get Gionee devices in the US.
Their latest device is the BLU Pure XR, a rebadged version of the Gionee S8 which they’ve recently teased on their social pages and website. As such, the specifications of the device are pretty much exactly the same.
Gizchina News of the week
The Gionee Pure XR comes with aĀ 5.5-inch full HDĀ AMOLED display, MediaTek’s Helio P10 chipset with a 2 GHz octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU and Mali-T860 GPU, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage,Ā a 16MP rear camera with phase detection and laser autofocus and LED flash, an 8MP front camera.
Along with that, the device also has aĀ front facing 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 in at a decent 147g.
The BLUĀ Pure XR starts at $299, which isn’t too bad of a price once you get past the Helio P10 processor. What do you think about the BLU Pure XR? Would you buy one at that price? Tell us in the comments below.
I thought BLU was the same shit like Bluboo… I was wrong?
They are different brands
Bluboo is a Chinese company, BLU is from Florida.
Since blu rebrands phones they are potentially any phone brand
The only phones they rebrand are Gionee’s. The other Blu phones (like their Windows phones) are made specifically for them by other Chinese ODM’s.
once again my brain has become pregnant with new knowledge
Completely different companies. Blu’s phones are a lot better than Bluboo.
I wouldn’t get this, I really dislike this camera sensor but the xr does this camera sensor the best seems like gionee has some nice software the camera seems way better that. That of the Apollo lite and redmi note 3 pro
So you like or dislike this sensor ?
lol i dont like the sensor i like how the gionee s8/ blu xr’s implementation lol
It’s $150.00 to much. The over priced BLU Pure XR is a low to medium smartphone with a top tier price tag. You can get much better phone for half the cost.
$300USD for a P10 device. Are they serious?
