The Life Pro with a slightly smaller display. That probably doesn't mean much to those who haven't used either (or both) of those phones, but Blu phones generally have a different feel to them than other manufacturer's handsets, so it's the only real comparison I can make. It's a thin and light device with squared-off corners and an interesting button layout: the volume rocker and power button are on the left side of the device, with the microUSB charging port and microSIM slot on the right. The 3.5mm headphone jack is all that's on the top, and there's nothing on the bottom. On the back, the 8MP rear shooter is in the top left corner, and the device's only speaker is in the bottom-left. The sides are tapered inward, which keeps the phone from feeling "sharp" when holding it.
Dubbed the Life Pure XL, this Android 4.2-powered handset will be available from Amazon starting tomorrow, May 2. Pricing will be set at $399 for the L260 model with 32GB of storage and 3GB of RAM. Meanwhile, the L259 version will launch on May 9 with 16GB of storage, 2GB of RAM and a $349 price tag.
In exchange for your hard-earned dollars, you’ll be getting a device with a 5.5-inch 1080p display and 8-megapixel front-facing camera, as well as a 16-megapixel rear shooter with a 1/2.3-inch sensor and Largan M8 lens. Inside of the Life Pure XL’s 9.5mm-thick frame is a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 2G 800/900/1800/1900MHz and 3G (HSPA+ 42Mbps) 850/1900/2100MHz connectivity, NFC, FM radio and a non-removable 2500mAh battery
