Florida-based smartphone company, BLU (Bold Like Us), just released its latest flagship device for the UK market, the Vivo 6. It offers users around the world premium specs at arguably the lowest prices available.
BLU has consistently sought to carve a niche in the budget smartphone market by toying with the limits of performance and quality.
Its smartphones usually sell for a tad less than other affordable brands such as Huawei or HTC while maintaining a good set of internal specs.
The phone is already drawing good reviews from top tech sites as it features a convenient Black Friday price of £184,99. It currently sells for £239,99 So far, there is no release date for the United States, but users can buy it through Amazon UK.
What are the specs?
The phone contains the powerful 6755 Helio P10 processor made by Taiwanese company MediaTek. The octa-core chip reaches 1.8 GHz in a 64-bit architecture. The phone also has 4GB of RAM which means it can manage any app on the market without problems.
The Blue Vivo 6 offers 64GB storage, an expected feature, given its price. MicroSD card integration will give users up to 64GB more, which is not too shabby, but comes short when compared to similar choices.
