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.

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.

My, my, color me surprised. Looks like Blu, the notorious "manufacturer" of budget Android phones in the U.S., is keeping to its word.

In August, budget phone maker Blu admitted that its tendency to release tons of devices wasn't the best thing.

That phone is now $50 off its already low normal price of $219.99 at Best Buy, going for just $169.99.

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 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.
