BLU Pure XR becomes official, has 4GB of RAM and costs $299.99

-


The Pure XR handset that BLU teased a couple of weeks or so ago is now official. Not only that, but the device is already on sale at Amazon and Best Buy, priced at $299.99 unlocked.



So what do you get for that amount of cash? A 5.5-inch 1080p AMOLED touchscreen, a 16 MP rear camera with phase detection and laser autofocus and LED flash, an 8 MP selfie shooter, MediaTek's Helio P10 chipset at the helm (with a 2 GHz octa-core Cortex-A53 CPU and Mali-T860 GPU), 4GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, a fingerprint scanner, LTE Cat.6 support, and a 3,000 mAh battery. The phone runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Its dimensions are 154.3 x 74.9 x 7 mm, and it weighs 147g.


It's available in gold and grey, and there are no unsightly plastic bits in its full metal body. The display has 2.5D curved Gorilla Glass 3 on top. Apple-like 3D Touch functionality is provided, and the bundled charger is a 9V/2A unit (so 18W) with quick charging up to 50% from 0 in 30 minutes.

So now that the full specs are out our initial assumption that this was a rebranded Gionee S8 has become certainty. The two phones look the same, have the same specs, and even the exact same dimensions.

Google is pushing out an updated version of its contacts management app, bringing some of the features available in the web version to the Android app. The v 1.5 update reorganizes the user interface of Google Contacts. Instead of the two tabs – all and favorites – the app now just displays your entire contact list, with a sidebar menu available via the hamburger button on the left. Opening that up reveals a new section for managing duplicate contacts. That’s a feature that was present on the web app of Contacts , but the process was more convoluted on the Android app. You can now also add labels to your contacts, making it easy to organize large contact lists based on groups, for things like family, work, or school.

LG Display used CES 2018 in Las Vegas to officially unveil its new OLED displays - one of them being a 65-inch 4K flexible screen that can be rolled like a newspaper. The other is an 88” 8K OLED panel that we told you about last week. The flexibility of the 65” OLED display makes it easier to transport or store in the corner. Its small size allows for better space utilization, meaning you can take the TV anytime, anywhere and “enjoy bright, high-resolution content”. LG Display will also showcase its latest upgrades of the IPS technology. The panels now have IPS nano-color, “which expresses rich colors using nanoscale high-color reproduction particles, and IPS technology, which increases the transmittance and reduces the intensity of light reflected on the panel.”, said the company in a press release.
