BLU PRODUCTS ONE

We’ve all heard of Apple, Samsung, Motorola, Blackberry, and a handful of other mobile manufacturers. But it’s not likely that many of us have ever heard of Blu Products, the self-proclaimed fastest growing mobile phone manufacturer. But today, according to the folks at PR Newswire, the company announced their newest line of phones: Blu Life Series.

The new series consists of three different models, the Life Play, Life View, and Life One. Each are powered by a MediaTek MT6589 1.2GHz Quad-Core chipset, will come equipped with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, and connect at 4G speeds.

The Blu Life One boasts a 5-inch high definition Gorilla Glass screen, 16GB of internal memory, 1GB RAM, a microSD card slot that can handle up to 32GB cards, a 5-megapixel front camera, and a 13-megapixel rear camera.
The Blu Life View features a bigger 5.7-inch HD scratch-resistant screen, 16GB of internal memory, 1GB RAM, a microSD card slot that can handle up to 32GB cards, a 5-megapixel front camera, and a 12-megapixel rear camera.
The Blu Life Play is the most compact model, sporting a 4.7-inch HD screen, 4GB of internal memory, 1GB RAM, a microSD card slot that can handle up to 32 GB cards, a 2-megapixel front camera, and an 8-megapixel rear camera.

As far as we can tell, the three phones, which will start shipping the last week of April, will only be available to the U.S market, and each of them will be unlocked, meaning you’ll be able to hook them up to the network of your choice. The One and View will retail for $300, while the Play will sell for just $230. They’ll be made available through several U.S. online retailers; Amazon is the only that we’ve been able to confirm so far.

The Nothing Phone 1 won’t be coming to the U.S. after all

Official glimpse of Nothing Phone 1 with a parrot sitting on top of phone.

The Nothing Phone 1, the latest offering from former OnePlus chief Carl Pei, won't be coming to the United States this summer. Nothing confirmed the news to PCMag on June 22, shutting down any hope for a U.S. launch. Instead, the Nothing Phone 1 will be launching exclusively in Europe and Asia only, where the company's carrier partnerships are strongest. Nothing does plan to launch a phone in the U.S. at some point in the future, just not the Phone 1.

In a statement to PCMag, Nothing said the following:
While we’d love to bring phone (1) to the entire community around the world, we're focusing on home markets, including the UK and Europe, where we have strong partnerships with leading local carriers. It takes a lot to launch a smartphone as you know, from ensuring the handset is supported by the country’s cellular technologies to carrier partnerships and local regulation, and as we're still a young brand we need to be strategic about it.

We have big plans to launch a U.S. supported smartphone in the future. For now, a limited number of our private community investors in the U.S. will be able to get their hands on phone (1) through a closed beta program. In the meantime, if readers really want phone (1) to be available in the US as soon as possible, they should call their carrier to let them know about us.

The U.S. market for phones is boring and terrible

Various new smartphones

I often get queries like “which is the best phone for around $600?” or “what’s the best budget phone under $300?” Before I start my research to answer, I find myself asking if the person posing the question lives in the U.S. or Asia. For the former, it’s easy to list the few options that are available here, with the pros and cons in tow.

For folks based in Europe or Asia, I need to open a dozen browser tabs to do a spec comparison, because that’s how many options are on the table at any given price bracket. The difference in market dynamics is stark, but ultimately, it’s the customer who stands to lose the most. Here are the three key reasons why that’s the status quo, with some baffling unbalance to the value aspect.
Value for money? That’s funny!
Let’s start with the OnePlus Nord N20 5G, a sleek budget phone that costs $282 and is up for grabs in the U.S. OnePlus made a big deal about offering an OLED panel on the phone, a decision that came at the cost of a high-refresh-rate screen. The rest of the specs sheet includes Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 695 SoC, a 64MP main camera paired with a couple of barely meaningful 2-megapixel snappers, and a 4,500mAh battery with 33-watt fast charging support. It’s a fairly well-rounded package, but far from OnePlus’ best effort.

HMD Global shows its serious about U.S. expansion with 5 new Nokia phones

HMD Global's range of new Nokia phones at CES 2022.

HMD Global has big plans for the U.S. market, and at CES 2022 it has revealed a new range of devices that cost less than $250, all coming out over the next months. Buoyed by LG and ZTE both leaving the U.S., it has struck lucrative deals with T-Mobile, Tracfone, Verizon, and other carriers to supply Nokia phones on pre-paid contracts, including low-cost feature phones.

To help achieve its ambitious targets in the U.S. for the coming year -- it's targeting number one in feature phones, and number three in pre-paid smartphones -- it has announced five new U.S. exclusive phones that will arrive during the first six months of the year. Top of the list is an affordable 5G phone, followed by three 4G phones, and a new feature phone with Kai OS software onboard.
