Sell BLU R1 HD
If there’s one thing anyone has heard about the BLU R1 HD, it is most definitely its $50 price tag for Amazon Prime customers. It was released in June 2016, and there was hardly any modern smartphone that could beat this price.
Apart from its price, this entry-level device was not built to break records or handle heavy tasks. The company targets an audience on a budget, and the BLU R1 HD was one of the early smartphones on the Amazon Prime discount promotion.
The downside to getting the device at a discounted rate on Amazon Prime discount is the bloatware. On this Amazon discount, be ready to deal with all kinds of Amazon adverts, offers, and promotions that pop every time you unlock the device. The whole point of buying this device is its $50 price; will it be worth it to buy it for $100 to avoid dealing with Amazon ads? Only you can answer that question depending on your tolerance for ads.
The question here is how much you need in a smartphone and how much you’re willing to save acquiring it. As an unlocked smartphone, it supports T-Mobile, AT&T, and any other Mobile network operator. It has two SIM slots, so you have the freedom of owning two phone numbers and switching between carriers whenever you want to.
If you care very much about smartphone specs, then you’re not the one this device was made for. Still, the BLU R1 HD specs are awesome for the discounted price. Briefly, it has a quad-core 1.3GHz processor, a 5-inch screen with Gorilla Glass 3 protection, and an 8MP rear camera. This isn’t bad at all, is it?
The BLU R1 HD will handle your day-to-day smartphone tasks easily. Its performance is surprisingly reliable. If you’ve outgrown your old BLU HD R1, there are others who will jump on it. Contact Gizmogo to sell your BLU R1 HD.
