If you are on the look out for a budget Android smartphone under $150 that that also offers a (really) long battery life, then this killer deal is meant for you. The BLU Studio Energy 2, released in October this year, is now selling on Amazon for only $130. That’s $50 knocked off its retail price, making it a lucrative deal for budget smartphone hunters.
What makes this BLU phone so special is that it packs a gigantic 5000 mAh battery, which is sure to last at least two days thanks to the device’s modest 5-inch HD (1280 x 720) Super AMOLED display and 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6735 processor. The MediaTek chipset in question is made of four energy-efficient ARM Cortex A53 cores and is paired with a Mali-T720 GPU.

For $130, you get a recently released smartphone that offers 1.5GB of RAM, 8MP rear and 5MP selfie cameras, 16GB of expandable storage via microSD slot (up to 64GB), Dual SIM slots, and support for 4G LTE networks. The device runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop, which may not be the latest version of Android OS around, but for a device in this budget range it’s still great.
Don’t buy this phone expecting software upgrades to new versions of Android OS. It’s something we absolutely can’t promise. However, do buy this phone if you’re looking for a quality Android handset to function as a backup phone with a long battery life. Or perhaps if you’re on a tight budget and still want a decent quality handset without compromising on the display, battery life and other critical aspects of a smartphone.
