BLU R2 Review

Score: 51 / 100

BLU R2 is a decent Android cellphone, featuring a big 5.2 inches display, an exceptional 1.3 GHz Quad-Core processor, and two cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and an 8 megapixels front-facing camera. We will get a better understanding of this cellphone's features when we get into specific details.

This phone is available in many colors like black, gold, gray and pink. About its design, this cellphone is mainly manufactured with Aluminum . BLU did an excellent design job making this cellphone weight just 5.5 ounces. Although this device is only 5.92" long and 2.93" wide, it manages to pack a 5.2" screen. Being just 0.38" thick,this phone is slim and comfortable.

This cellphone is equipped with a interesting 5.2-inches display with a 720 x 1280 (HD) resolution, providing this cellphone with a very nice graphical experience.

BLU decided to equip this phone using a MediaTek MT6580 system chip, backed up by a high performance Quad-Core CPU ticking at 1300 megahertz with only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a little low comparing with this cellphone's powerful processing power. The BLU R2 comes with an 8 GB quite large internal storage and a slot for an external memory card, which allows you to store a couple hundred games and apps without any problem.

The BLU R2 features two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back-facing camera and an 8 mega-pixels front camera. It is also able to film videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 frames per second.

The BLU R2 has a 3000 mAh big capacity non-replaceable battery providing this device an incredible battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that the BLU R2's battery is not replaceable so you can't change it when it starts to lose its charge, although with such a big battery you will probably discard this phone before it becomes an issue.

This phone has WiFi capability (which can be shared with other devices around, acting as a wireless router or modem). The BLU R2 doesn't use a sim card, because it isn't a GSM cellphone.

The BLU R2 also includes a couple useful characteristics such as Fingerprint Sensor, Bluetooth (enables communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.
