Budget devices are often underrepresented in several markets such as the US owing to a lack of demand, among other things. So, it came as a surprise when budget smartphone manufacturer (for the lack of a better word)  BLU announced that they’re rolling out an Android Pie beta program for one of their more ‘premium’ device aka the Vivo XI+. Owners of the phone can now sign up for the Pie beta program on Blu’s site. To sign up, head over to this link and input your name, email, phone number, model, and IMEI number.

Before dipping its toes into the realm of flagships via the Vivo Nex, the company mainly focussed on low-cost to mid-range devices; and the VXI+ can be considered a ‘flagship’ by that standard. The MediaTek Helio P60 that powers it is a capable SoC and does a good job of keeping up with its equivalent Snapdragon counterparts. I’d go as far as saying that it’s an acceptable replacement for the Motorola Moto G6, had it not run Vivo’s god-awful FunTouch OS Android Fork.
