MIAMI, April 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- BLU Products, the market leader in unlocked devices in the United States, introduced today their next installment in Windows Phone devices.

"We are motivated to continue working together with Microsoft in developing product we truly believe in, with the great performance Windows Phone brings consumers," said Samuel Ohev-Zion, CEO of BLU Products. "The 2015 versions of Win JR and Win HD have been completely re-designed and will be upgradeable to Windows 10 as soon as the update is released."  

The BLU Win JR LTE and Win HD LTE are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 Quad-Core 1.2GHz mobile processor utilizing 64Bit architecture that ensures efficiency with fast performance, and excellent battery management.

Compatible on any GSM Network in the United States, the BLU Windows Phones allow consumers to choose their service plans from companies such as T-Mobile, AT&T, Metro PCS, Cricket Wireless, Simple Mobile, Net 10 and others, with blazing fast 4G LTE data speeds.

With bright and large screens, great cameras, and fast processing, the BLU Win JR LTE and BLU Win HD LTE come in vibrant trendsetting color options, as BLU continues pushing limitations to bring the best quality and design, exceptionally priced, to no-contract unlocked smartphone consumers in the USA – the fastest growing segment in the mobile phone industry today.

Windows Phone 10

Windows is the world easiest operating system, designed to fit your lifestyle. This will give the user an ecosystem that integrates many mediums from their office, home and into the palm of their hand. With Windows 10 the experience is even more seamless and personalized as ever as the familiarity from handheld to the PC domain makes it for a user-friendly experience, the Win JR LTE and Win HD LTE include features such as Live Tiles that surface information important to you; Action Center, which show new activities and notifications at a glance; and Senses, a suite of features that takes the work out of managing data use, storage space and battery life.

BLU Win JR LTE

The Win JR LTE features an upgraded display performance with a vivid 4.5" display and IPS technology. Dual camera support with a main 5.0 mega pixel autofocus camera plus LED Flash on the back, as well as a front facing camera for Skype video calls and self-portraits. Details are in the design, with a beautiful cross hatched pattern along the color matched metal finishing on the side keys ensures a continuous and streamline design. The finishing touch is a round curve design that provides maximum handheld comfort and a compact appearance. The BLU Win JR LTE is already shipping and available now, unlocked with Dual-SIM support, for $99.99 online through Amazon.com and MicrosoftStore.com, and will make way shortly thereafter to all Microsoft Retail Store locations nationwide in the USA, as well as Canada.
