BLU R1 Plus Review

Score: 55.5 / 100

BLU R1 Plus is an interesting phone launched some years ago, in 2017, having a Quad-Core CPU speeding at 1100 megahertz, a huge 5.5-inches display, a 13 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front facing camera. Great! That's it? Not at all, it's only the introduction of a detailed review.

This device is powered by a fast 1.1 gigahertz Quad-Core CPU, included in a MediaTek MT6737 system chip with a large 3 GB RAM. A good point of this cellphone is its astonishing 32 GB internal storage and a slot for SD memory cards, which allows you to install hundreds of applications and even the largest games currently available without even thinking about running out of space at all.

BLU didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 6.74 oz device. Talking about its aspect, this phone is manufactured with Aluminum . Although this phone is only 6.02 inches long, it manages to hold a 5.5 inches display. The BLU R1 Plus's thickness , 0.41", is a little bit far from current standards, but it still feels quite comfortable in the hand. This phone is for sale in color gray.

BLU packed the BLU R1 Plus with a very good 5.5" screen, and a resolution of 720 x 1280 (HD), providing this cellphone with a very nice graphical experience.

This phone is equipped with two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 5 megapixels front-facing camera. Though it's 13 mega-pixels might appear amazing the back-facing camera sensor size is quite small it takes less detailed pictures than you would expect. It also captures 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 fps.

This phone features an inmense 4000 mAh non-replaceable battery providing this phone an amazing battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that this cellphone's battery is not replaceable so you can't buy a new battery when it begins to live shorter, though with its 4000 mAh you will probably buy a new phone before it becomes an issue.

The BLU R1 Plus has wi-fi capability (which it can provide to other devices acting as a router). This phone doesn't have a sim card, because it is not a GSM enabled cellphone.

This cellphone also includes some useful characteristics such as Bluetooth (provides communication with other bluetooth phones, computers and accessories) and GPS Geolocation, and a few sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

The BLU R1 Plus is a very good choice it doesn't matter whether you are looking for a cellphone to play games or will use it as a social phone.
