BLU R1 HD Review: A $100 smartphone that packs a punch!

1. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

   I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

   It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

   The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

   HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

   I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

   BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

   It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

   Thanks and God bless!

2. My dad got me this phone before when I was really young but I don’t plan on getting It again

3. The wrong isn't the device itself, it's the company called blu and it's infinity scandals

4. great phone!

5. I just bought one of this, does anybody know , how many hours i have to charge?

6. I have mine for 2 years now. It's actually okay for it's price 😀

7. Had this for a year. It's a piece of garbage. The response time is so slow and it takes a couple of tries to transfer your apps to the sd after failing a few times and it doesn't even recognize that's where you store some apps.

8. Is that a unibrow ewwwww

9. I have this Android phone

10. Blu for life

11. hi guys. I just found out if you own the blu r1 and Samsung grand prime and you have an extra soft case for r1 lying around, you can fit it on your GP. Minor arts and crafts slit cut to expose change port is all you need do.

12. I didn't even know this phone existed lol.

13. This phone fits all my wants and needs it was cheaper than my last smart phone (Galaxy express prime) and from what I can tell is just as good if not better. I think this guy is a bit overly critical.

14. Amer aei room Mobil 4g kuntu payna

15. i have this phone im using it rn

16. That's not Google now that's the assistant

17. You mean 1 hour and a half

18. I have a HTC Desire 612, which is old. I am about due to a new one. And when I mean I'm using it until it's last legs, IM USING IT UNTIL ITS LAST LEGS. The volume rackers are missing, the SD and SIM card slot has nothing protecting them. I'm looking for a atleast 16-20 GB phone, RAM can be 2 gigs, idc. And the Android version can be kit Kat, lollipop, or nogat. Oh ya. HEADPHONE JACK 3.5!!!!!!!! other than that. I don't care. And WiFi…..

19. Watching on Blu R1 HD

20. I have that phone and, I'm not impressed what so ever. The quality of the screen sucks, with a simple scratch, the screen almost cracks! I'm not joking! I have a BLU case that I put on my phone and there's scratches, that should not happen. Also, that battery hardly last. Ads suck; lots of lag! Don't buy it!!!!

21. yea I got the expensive one thank god

22. I have that phone

23. I just got the phone yesterday and I already have to return it because it glitches out it opens stuff the I didn't even click on and it only types the letter "L" when I'm trying to text someone

24. I got the 2 GB version and worked fine. Issue is that after 1 year the battery life declined terribly. I charged it overnight and in 90 min idling, it went down from full to 88%. Looking into a Redmi 4A or 4X. Will keep this as a spare. will see if I can replace the battery.

25. It is worth pointing out, if you have notifications, that full screen ad, turns in to a much smaller banner ad at the bottom portion of the screen.
    Most reviews on this phone blow this part completely out of proportion, I have both versions of the 16gb model, i.e. With ads and without. The ad model is the one I use most of the time for two reasons, first and foremost, the ads are not the intrusive monsters that many reviewers make them out to be, and I got this fine phone for only 60.00.
    Because of the ads. I occasionally see something I do want or need, but most of the time I just swipe them away.
    If your a prime member with a smart phone, keep this in mind. The R1HD is no IPhone nor is it a flagship android. But it is a decent phone at a beyond reasonable price with or without the ad option.
    A good device for kids, older parents being introduced to smart phones or just as a backup device to have on hand should anything happen to your primary.
    If a 5 inch screen is a bit small for you, the R1Plus has a 5.5 inch screen, more ram and on board memory, and a battery that is almost twice the size of the HD.

26. Amazon has suspended from selling all BLU phone as of 7/31/2017 on Amazon after cybersecurity experts detailed how software preloaded onto its devices collects sensitive user data and sends it overseas. These phones collect your private information Spyware and your information is sold overseas.I was about to buy the BLU R1 until Amazon said they no longer sell Blu phones….please be careful. please be careful

27. Comes with MTKLogger Spyware out of the box.

28. I have this phone!

29. Is this Bedford boys ranch? Looks like it's near me

30. I paid $199.99 for the 16GB/2gb RAM version without ads and I'm really hoping it's better than my current LG Destiny which is slow with only 8GB/1gb RAM. Thanks for the great review!

31. I have this cell phone and thus far it SUCKS! I hate this f**** phone and it was not worth the $50 i spent. It does not even allow me to answer any phone call if it is on Lock. Yet, when the phone rings it won't even allow me to Unlock IT. The only way I can answer a phone call is ONLY if the phone is on UNLOCKED. But the Damn thing is the phone automatically LOCKS UP every few minutes. So, if I'm waiting for a phone call I have to Unlock it everytime it LOCKS. I can't even find a way how to TURN OFF the LOCK. I've shown my Blu R1 to friends and family. And NO ONE can figure out how to turn off the LOCK or how to answer the Damn phone when it is LOCKED–I can't even find somewhere to enter my Unlock code when it rings. I have lost so many important phone calls d/t this piece of …. does anyone have an answer to this??????????????????

32. Probably the PERFECT phone to try out rooting Android

33. I'm about to order this phone. Probably the best affordable smartphone.

34. Thank you for delivering an articulate & intelligent review of the BLU R1 HD!

35. do you need to have an amazon account to activate the phone ?

36. Is this a good phone to use just for apps and YouTube ?!

37. better than zte zmax pro?

38. Will this work with verizon????

39. excellent review.

40. I'm ordering it from Amazon and I'm getting it mondy

41. Traveling to London this summer and canmtunlock my primary phone without a massive etf. Would this be an ok choice for google maps etc whilein london on a prepaid sim?

42. I am about to get this for my daughter. She needs a phone but is only in the fifth grade but has many after school activities. I hope this will be a good phone for her.

43. Just ordered the 16gb version….and yes, as long as you remember its a $50 phone you will remain impressed! I am testing this with a new free service called Freedom Pop. take a look!
