The idea that any of these features should be competent or tolerable at this price is kind of uncharted territory, and I'm loving it.

The level of features and performance of the R1 HD is unheard of at this price The processor is fast (enough), the screen is nice (enough), the battery life is acceptable, and while the built-in speakers are horrible, I own headphones so it's not killing me.
REPLACING BLU R1 HD BATTERY FULL
But even at full price you get a good amount of phone for the money, comparable or better to any $100 prepaid phone out there. I'm testing the $60 version with 2GB of RAM and all the ads in the world. Splurge another $10 and you can get double the RAM and double the storage. The cheapest option gets you a Blu R1 HD with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage.

"Oh, this chunk of plastic? This is a phone, but it's not really mine." I don't have to care about this phone, because it cares so little for me that it decided to show me a fullscreen ad for whey-based protein powder. It literally, for me, depersonalizes the smartphone. Sometimes - actually, a lot of the time - it's a fullscreen ad, which just feels so weird on a device as personal as a phone. Every time you wake the phone there's an ad on the lock screen. Someone out there might pay full price for it, but it’s more likely that people buying this phone will go the cheapest option available, and that means seeing ads. The whole reason this phone is so stupid cheap is because of those Amazon ads.
