US smartphone maker BLU Products has announced the new LIFE series of smartphones, which consists of three models. The latest company products boast support for two SIM cards, a number of hardware improvements and perhaps most importantly affordable prices.

Since they belong to the same product line the three smartphones share some of the specs – they all offer the same MediaTek MT6589 SoC based on a quad-core Cortex-A7 processor at 1.2 GHz, a PowerVR Series5XT GPU and 1 GB of RAM. In addition the three smartphones run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

The BLU LIFE Play is the budget-oriented smartphone of all three – it comes with a 4.7-inch display at HD resolution and pixel density of 312 ppi, as well as an 8 MP rear camera and a 2 MP front camera. The smartphone has 4 GB of internal storage and an 1800 mAh battery.

The LIFE One sits in the middle with its 5-inch display at 720p resolution and 293 ppi. The smartphone comes with 16 GB of internal storage and has a 13 MP rear camera complemented by a 5 MP camera up front. The battery capacity of this one is 2000 mAh.

Finally the LIFE View is the most advanced of all three – it has a 5.7-inch IPS display at HD resolution (257 ppi) and sports a rear 12 MP camera, a front 5 MP camera, 16 GB of internal memory, expandable via the integrated microSD card slot and a 2600 mAh battery.

Now to the pricing – as promised BLU does not charge an arm and a leg for the three – you can have the LIFE View and LIFE One unlocked for USD 299, while the SIM-free LIFE Play will cost you USD 229. The smartphones will appear on the US market next month but worldwide availability has not been confirmed as of now.
