Blu Products, a company who focuses on making unlocked smartphones, just announced the Blu Studio Energy 2 and Blu Energy X as a part of their incredible lineup of devices. The main focus of both of the latest release is long battery life and 30 days of standby is a result of their incredible efforts(and are aptly named Energy). Blu also claims you can get up to three full days of standard usage on a single charge. This is something I would love to see tested for our readers.
Both are available today at Amazon.com, with the Studio Energy 2 being priced at $179.00 while the Energy X comes in at an unbelievable low price of $109.
The Studio Energy 2 packs a massive 5,000mAh battery into a premium design. The super popular Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Moto X Pure only come with a 3000mAh battery, so clearly at 2,000 mAh bigger with lesser hardware to drive, this Blu device should get incredible battery life.
Blu Products also realize that customers are demanding more for their money, not just spec wise, but design wise. The Studio Energy 2 comes in an aircraft grade aluminum body, with minimal plastic, and sand blasted edges for a premium look and grippable form factor. It will come powered by a 64-bit Mediatek quad-core processor, 1.5GB RAM and 16GB of memory, with a 5 inch 720x1080P Gorilla Glass 3 covered display. Not bad for $179.00 and unlocked with no hidden fees.
The Energy X also comes in a premium package with a 4,000mAh battery. It comes with a 5 inch display covered in Gorilla Glass 3, dual-SIM slots, Android 5.1, Mediatek quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory. Again the main focus of this phone is that increible battery which should allow you to stay disconnected from a wall outlet for three full days.
Blu continues to push the limits of low priced phones as evidenced by the Blu Studio Energy 2 and Energy X. They see where the industry lacks and fills those gaps with great devices at low prices.
Additionally, 4G LTE is supported nationwide on T-Mobile and AT&T network which includes Metropcs, Straight Talk, Simple Mobile, Cricket, and others.
