BLU VIVO 6 launches pre-orders in UK for £185

BLU has decided it fit to spoil Black Friday shoppers in the UK, already spoiled by Amazon’s weeks-long sales event, with a new phone. Unfortunately, customers eager to buy a phone from a manufacturer with a sketchy software track record, — benign in many ways, insecure in others — will have to wait well past Cyber Monday to claim dibs on this phone.

Pre-orders are up on Amazon.co.uk for the BLU VIVO 6, a phone that takes things up and away from the VIVO 5R with an improved processor (the octa-core MediaTek Helio P10) with 4GB of RAM to back it up, a 5.5-inch full HD display, a 13-megapixel Sony IMX258 main camera. With Android Marshmallow, a front-facing fingerprint sensor, a 3,130mAh battery and 64GB of storage (with microSD expandability up to another 64GB), this all totals a very slight £184.99. It even comes with free delivery, too!

But you better make your choice of gold, grey or rose gold by December 2nd to lock in this price. Sorry, US mates, nothing on this for you, yet.
