After launching its Vivo 5 earlier this year, BLU today announced a refreshed version of that smartphone.
The BLU Vivo 5R is available for pre-order from Amazon and Best Buy and will launch later in September. It’ll also be available in Best Buy stores during the first week of October. Pricing is set at $199.99.
In terms of specs, the Vivo 5R boasts the same display size as the Vivo 5 (5.5-inch), but its display is a higher resolution (1920x1080 vs 1280x720). The Vivo 5R also offers an upgraded front-facing camera (8-megapixel vs 5-megapixel on the Vivo 5), a new fingerprint reader on its rear, and the addition of LTE bands 12 and 17.
The rest of the Vivo 5R’s spec list is similar to the Vivo 5. There’s a 1.3GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6753 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a microSD slot, a 13-megapixel rear camera, and a 3,150mAh battery. The Vivo 5R comes equipped with Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
