The Blu R1 HD is powerful enough for basic tasks, but not great for resource-intensive apps. If you'd rather not succumb to your Amazon overlords, the ad-free version of the phone starts at $99 for the 8GB/1GB model, and costs $109 for the 16GB/2GB model. That model gets you 8GB of storage and 1GB of RAM a $59 version offers 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM, which seems like a no-brainer for the extra $10. The Blu R1 HD starts at just $49 for Amazon Prime members, so long as you can stand the aforementioned Amazon ad assault. While the R1's endurance is right on par with our 8:35 average, it was topped by the ZTE Zmax 2 (9:25).
The device lasted a strong 8 hours and 36 minutes on our battery test (continuous web surfing over 4G), which is enough juice to get through most of a workday on a single charge. However, while I noticed plenty of detail during character close-ups, I also found that the video's intense action scenes got a bit muddy.įor a budget phone, the R1 HD certainly doesn't skimp on battery life. App icons looked colorful and bright, and I had a mostly good time looking at the battle-weathered faces, orange Rebel jumpsuits and massive Imperial ships of the Star Wars: Rogue One trailer. The R1 HD's 5-inch Gorilla Glass 3 display is decently crisp - or at least as crisp as you can get on a 1280 x 720 screen on a budget phone.

That means cleaner, more colorful navigation icons than what Android offered previously, as well as a handy quick-settings menu that lets you toggle things like brightness, Bluetooth and Airplane Mode with a few quick swipes.
I just can't get over how truly low end the lock-screen ads make the R1 feel.Īmazon extras aside, the R1 runs on a fairly straightforward version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow. But if you're not a big Amazon junkie, you might be annoyed with the amount of bloat here. This isn't all bad after logging in with my Amazon Prime account a single time, I was able to jump right into the Amazon Shopping app or stream some music or video without having to enter any more information.
