(NASDAQ: AMZN)-Amazon Prime members can now take advantage of exclusive pricing-up to 50% off the full retail price-on a selection of newly released, fully featured, unlocked Android smartphones. The all-new BLU R1 HD is only $49.99 ( $50.00 off its retail price of $99.99 ) and the new fourth-generation Motorola Moto G is $149.99 ( $50.00 off its retail price of $199.99 ). Each phone is offered unlocked, with no commitment to a contract, giving Prime members the flexibility to switch between wireless carriers and service options to best fit their needs. The newly launched BLU R1 HD and Moto G are available for pre-order starting today at www.amazon.com/prime-exclusive-phones.
The breakthrough pricing on unlocked smartphones is supported by personalized offers and ads, including deals and product recommendations, displayed on the phones lockscreen. When a customer sees an offer, they can tap to learn more about it or simply unlock their phone to dismiss.
Customers love the freedom of unlocked phones-its the fastest growing category within cell phones on Amazon.com-so we set out to find a way to make them even more affordable for our Prime members, said Laura Orvidas, Vice President, Consumer Electronics, Amazon.com . We currently offer low prices supported by lockscreen offers and ads on our Fire tablets and Kindle e-readers, and theyve been a hit-in fact, the vast majority of customers choose the lower-priced option. Now were lowering prices in a similar way on new, unlocked smartphones, working with two of our best-selling brands, BLU and Motorola.
The BLU R1 HD and Moto G feature Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Google Mobile Services, including Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube , and Google Play. A single sign-on experience provides Prime members easy access to their Prime benefits through the most popular Amazon apps, including tens of thousands of movies and TV episodes with Prime Video, over one million songs and playlists with Prime Music, unlimited photo storage and backup with Prime Photos, one free pre-released book a month with Kindle First, FREE two-day shipping on millions of items, and more. Customers also get access to thousands of apps, games and in-app items that are 100% free with Amazon Underground, and can shop a personalized selection of Amazons daily deals right from a new home screen widget.
BLU R1 HD:
At $49.99 , the BLU R1 HD is the only unlocked smartphone under $100 featuring a vivid HD display with a brightness rating of 420 nits, and a wide-angle 5MP selfie camera with LED flash. The beautiful 5 HD curved Gorilla Glass display and aluminum metal enclosure incorporate the highest grade material resulting in a stunning look and feel. Featuring a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor, fast 4G LTE speed, and an 8MP rear-facing camera, the BLU R1 HD is available with 1 GB RAM and 8 GB of internal storage or 2 GB RAM and 16 GB of internal storage-both have microSD card support for up to 64 GB of additional storage. The BLU R1 HD is compatible with GSM carriers, including AT&T and T-Mobile .
The BLU R1 HD is the perfect choice for customers who want a high quality experience in a brand new, unlocked smartphone, said Samuel Ohev-Zion, CEO of BLU Products, Inc. Only with Amazon could we bundle this much value in a smartphone for only $49 .99-its an incredible offer.
