Headquartered in Miami, Florida and self-proclaimed the “market leader in unlocked devices in the United States”, BLU arguably sells some of the prettiest, fastest, most feature-packed Android smartphones in the nation’s sub-$300 and sub-$200 divisions. 

The robust metallic frame of the BLU G9 Pro is paired with a snazzy glass back cover rocking blue-to-purple gradient hues contributing to an eye-catching color scheme marketed as “Nightfall.” Under the hood, the enhanced 6.3-incher packs a speedier MediaTek Helio P60 processor (compared to the Helio P22 chipset inside the “regular” G9), while the Samsung-inspired “Infinity” display sports a Full HD+ resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels, as well as an “inconspicuous” V-notch and a slightly more noticeable chin.

On paper, the BLU G9 Pro certainly looks outstanding from a bang for buck perspective, featuring everything from a triple rear shooter setup (with a 16MP main camera, 5MP depth sensor, and 20MP Night Mode snapper) to a 24MP selfie cam, 4GB RAM, 128 gigs of internal storage, 4,000mAh battery capacity, Android 9.0 Pie software, fingerprint scanner, Face ID technology, and full support for GSM networks nationwide.
