BLU Pure XR looks like a rebranded Gionee S8

American phone brand BLU with bee launching a new model later this year with a $299 price tag and 4GB RAM.

BLU have been offering well priced handsets to the U.S market for years now, and vernally what we see are GIONEEE devices made with BLU’s own branding, but at lower pricing than GIONEE themselves offer.

Coming later this year is the BLU Pure XR, a smartphone that will offer 4GB RAM and a physical home button at a price of $299. Judging by the design of the phone and the look of that home button we assume that the XR is going to be another rebranded Gionee devices.

With this in mind the Pure XR could be a rebranded Gionee S8 which would mean th phone could come with a 5.5-inch AMOLED display, Mediatek Helio P10 chipset, 64GB internal memory, 16 mega-pixel rear camera, 8 mega-pixel front and 3000mAh battery.

BLU are set to announce the XR on the 29th August.
