Blu Life Mark UK 4G

So the wife's HTC POS has finally broke her spirit - she needs an escape. It's an abysmal user experience. Add in two broken screens and she wants rid.

My fault in the first place. My HTC One M8 is a dream so I thought how bad could a HTC Desire be? Well pretty bad as it goes. So I have to make amends.

I've been looking at a few blogs for reviews on best budget smart phones.. sim free obviously.

And this one jumped out at me and 90 is a ridiculous price for something launched in March this year.

Reviews seem positive - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Blu-Life-Mark-SIM-Free-Smartphone/dp/B01CG0U6TG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469520890&sr=8-1&keywords=Blu+R1+HD

Anyone got any knowledge experience of this phone?

Anyone got any opinions as to a well spec highly regarded budget android phone?

That's a pretty decent phone, about on par with the Moto G for less money.

If it doesn't have to be anything fancy it should be a good option. It also has CyanogenOS I believe. It's extremely customisable.

It does seem a very decent phone

I wonder what will happen with the OS now though.

Cyanogen have said they won't pivot towards apps.

Info here and some ironing too.
