BLU, the U.S based smartphone brand is known for launching affordable smartphones with some decent specifications.

As of now, the device is sold only in the U.S via Amazon and comes in Dark Blue color. Though the Chinese brands offer even better specifications at this price, the non-availability of those devices in the U.S give an edge to the Life Max. It is one of the best devices for those who are on a tight budget and looking to get a new smartphone during this holiday season.
