The BLU devices offer great value for money and are quite good looking budget phones. Sold at $179 and $89 in the US, the phones have been aggressively priced in India. I've been using the two devices for a while and have been impressed with the build quality and pretty good performance. They look swell, and the Win HD LTE, in particular, looks quite stylish.
