If you're looking for a phone in the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 category but don't want to spend the extra cash, the BLU Life View could be a good alternative for you. Available at Negri Electronics for just under $300, the Life View offers a 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU, 5.7-inch 720p HD display, 12-megapixel camera with 1080p HD recording, 2,600 mAh battery, and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. It's a nice little smartphone, and while it misses a few features that come with its high-end competitors, the Life View has a few tricks under the hood. Is it worth dropping $300 for?
