BLU Products is back with yet another affordable Android smartphone, the Vivo XL2. The sequel to the Vivo XL, the new handset comes with improved specs and a decent price. Even so, this is definitely a mid-range smartphone, but more in the low-end region rather than the high-end.

The Vivo XL2 is now available for purchase at Amazon for $149, but for a limited time customers can buy one for only $99. This is a price that better matches what the phone has to offer in terms of specs.

It's also worth mentioning the smartphone is available in two color options: Midnight Blue and Liquid Gold. Those who order one from Amazon will also benefit from free shipping.

Moving on to the actual specs, the Vivo XL2 is nothing to be excited about. First of all, BLU Products has yet to launch its first smartphone powered by Android 7.0 Nougat. The Vivo XL2 will ship with the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system right out of the box.

When it comes to hardware, in order to keep the price on the low side, BLU Products chose to include a 1.4GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6737T processor, which is complemented by a Mali-T720 graphics processing unit and 3GB of RAM.

Blu Vivo XL2 sports a 5.5-inch HD (720p) display that features Corning Gorilla Glass 3 coating. The smartphone comes with 32GB of storage (expandable via microSD card up to 64GB) and packs a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with PDAF (phase detection autofocus) and LED flash. In the front, there's a secondary 8-megapixel selfie camera.

BLU's mid-range smartphone offers dual-SIM support and is fully compatible with all GSM networks in the United States. It will also work on 4G LTE network in the country, including Bands 12 with VoLTE and HD support for T-Mobile.

Last but not least, the Vivo XL2 is powered by a decent 3,150 mAh battery, which features quick charging capabilities, as well as up to 30% more battery life.
