The BLU G9 Pro drops to $180 ($70 off) at Amazon

Cody English

We spend a lot of time talking about phones that cost $1000 or more, but not everyone needs or wants to spend that much. When it first launched, the BLU G9 Pro undercut these prices with a substantially lower MSRP of $250. However, after a recent price drop, the device can be now be purchased for $180 on Amazon with free Prime shipping.

New Blu G9 Pro elevates mid-range expectations, 20% off for launch

Ryne Hager

Most of the focus when it comes to smartphone news is on expensive, flagship phones — the latest features and designs are just more interesting subjects. But mid-range phones show how those features percolate down with time, like the recently announced Blu G9 Pro. Specs include an 8-core MediaTek SoC, 4,000mAh wireless and quick charging battery, 128GB of expandable storage, 4GB of RAM, three rear-facing cameras, and a teardrop-notched full HD screen. Set to be $250 later, the company has dropped the price by $50 to celebrate the launch.

BLU launches Android 9 Pie beta program for the Vivo XI+

Jordan Palmer

My, my, color me surprised. Looks like Blu, the notorious "manufacturer" of budget Android phones in the U.S., is keeping to its word. Back in August, the company claimed that it was rethinking its product strategy — you know, the one where it spams the market with a lot of devices — and would be focusing on quality and software support going forward. This new philosophy would start with its latest flagship, the Vivo XI+.

[Deal Alert] The Blu Vivo XI is down to just $170 ($50 off) at Best Buy

Taylor Kerns

In August, budget phone maker Blu admitted that its tendency to release tons of devices wasn't the best thing. It committed to releasing fewer but better devices, and announced its new flagship, the Vivo XI+, for $299.99. Somewhat contrary to the company's new less-is-more outlook, they also released a lower-tier version, the (non-plus) XI. That phone is now $50 off its already low normal price of $219.99 at Best Buy, going for just $169.99.

BLU promises to stop pumping out shitty phones five times a year, announces the Vivo XI+

Corbin Davenport

There is perhaps no better analogy to describe BLU phones than, "You get what you pay for." While the company's phones are often great values on paper, updates are non-existent and security problems are not unheard of. BLU is now trying to change that, starting with the launch of its new Vivo XI+ flagship.

Blu announces the $50 X Link smartwatch with 2G wireless connectivity

Ryan Whitwam

Blu is known for selling inexpensive phones that punch above their weight, but the company's new smartwatch seems like a very odd product. The X Link has a 1.1-inch round display, no apps, and 2G wireless connectivity. So, why would you want that? Well, it's only $50.

Blu announces Vivo XL3 and XL3 Plus, but you shouldn't buy them

Corbin Davenport

Blu is best known for its large variety of budget Android phones - some good, some not so good. Today the company announced two new devices - the Vivo XL3 and Vivo XL3 Plus. But unlike most of Blu's lineup, they aren't a good value at all, unless you buy one of them on sale.
