I had to change the brightness often to stop it. I had a Blu R1 for years. I gave the Blu R1 to my daughter who drops it constantly and she has never had a problem with it. I bought a Blu R2 LTE from Amazon. There are differences between the Blu R2 and the Blu R2 LTE. For example:(R2).....(R2 LTE)8..........13 Megapixel (Camera)1..........2 Gigabytes (RAM)3..........4 G LTE (Speed)8..........16 Gigabytes (Storage)$90......$109 (Price)*R2 and R2 LTE support WiFi 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz** R2 and R2 LTE for the first 24-48 hours Bluetooth was difficult to pair and WiFi dropped. After the first 24-48 this these problems disappeared. I do not know if was because of an Over The Air (OTA) software upgrade or something else.Pay the extra $19 and get the Blu R2 LTE. It was packaged great with a case and a screen protector. It has one micro SD and two micro SIMM slots inside the back aluminum cover. The two SIMMs are for two different phone numbers. The display is 5.2 inches.The display is great but not real High Definition (768 Pixels). The advantages of a small display and a low resolution display are long battery life and low battery consumption. There are two 13 megapixel cameras and two flashes. One camera and flash is on the back and one camera and flash is on the front. Camera resolution is not the determining factor for picture quality. Aperture, focus and image stabilization also determine picture quality. The back camera is decent. I did not use the front camera.The phone is great. The one speaker located on the back of the phone is loud and there is an electronic boost. The earphone jack and micro USB (Not USB C) are located on the top of the phone and are not centered (Unusual). It has Android Nouget 7.0. I do not know if Oreo 8.0 upgrade is included. This is not the phone with the biggest display for $109 but it is the highest quality phone I have seen for $109. There is also an accelerometer, charge and notification light, and proximity sensor. Mine is Gold it came with a semi-transparent white and frosted silicone case. It looks more expensive than it cost.To improve picturesCameraAnti-shake On (default Off)Also considerAuto Scene Detection On (default Off)Picture Size 8 M (Full Frame) (default 13 M)To increase speedSettingsBLU PrivacyHelp improve BLU products Off (default On)Enhanced Device Support Off (default On)I also bought a Blu R2 Plus. It has a bigger display 5.5 inches and high resolution (1028 Pixels). The battery life is shorter. Also, the Blu R2 Plus does not have CDMA for Verizon. I prefer the Blu R2 LTE versus the Blu R2 Plus because of the battery life and CDMA for Verizon. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is not as good as my Samsung note 4 *by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2017* I bought this phone instead of buying another $600 Samsung phone. It is not as good as my Samsung note 4, but close enough considering it was $500 cheaper. I could buy a new one every year and still save a lot of money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love Blu! *by N***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2018* Great quality for the price. This is my 4th Blu phone. I started with the Studio 7, then downsized to the r1, and then r1hd. This one so far is my favorite, and seeming to be the best. Quick with no lag. Battery so far is long lasting - I charged it to 93% yesterday afternoon, and still have 47%; that's even with watching videos and scrolling Facebook. Definitely recommend this or any Blu product. The only complaint I have is the speaker. It's low quality and isn't very loud, but not enough of a flaw to lower my stars though!Update 4/11/18 - still love this phone. It is still as quick and functions as well as it did on day one. Really wish I could get a case for it though! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/53427438-blu-r2-5-2-unlocked-smartphone-8gb-1gb-ram-black](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/53427438-blu-r2-5-2-unlocked-smartphone-8gb-1gb-ram-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
