BLU has always offered a lot of bang for your buck with its budget smartphones. However, the company is taking it to a whole new level with the R1 HD. You can purchase the BLU R1 HD off-contract for as low as $50 with Amazon offers. With that deal, BLU and Amazon will cut the R1 HD's price in half in exchange for showing you advertisements on your lock screen.

Some of the specs of the R1 HD include a 5.0-inch HD display, 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 1GB or 2GB of RAM, 8MP rear and 5MP front-facing cameras, microSD card slot, 4G LTE, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

What do you think of smartphone ads? Would you pay the R1 HD's full price to avoid viewing ads on your lock screen?
