The everything-but-famous handset maker BLU Products unveiled a new product, VIVO 4.3, touting it as the “world’s first dual SIM smartphone device to feature Super AMOLED Plus technology and dual-core CPU.” The mid-end smartphone runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and is designed to “capitalize on the explosive growth and demand of Dual SIM smartphone devices in emerging markets” as well “as “increased demand for unlocked smartphone devices in US MVNO channels.”
Specs wise, it rocks a MediaTek MT6577 dual-core 1GHz Cortex-A9 CPU, 4.3-inch WVGA screen, HSPA connectivity, 8-megapixel camera on the back, 1.3-megapixel front-facing one and 4GB of internal storage. We guess other standard goodies come included as well — like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS and other sensors — though they’re not mentioned in the press release. As for the price, the unlocked VIVO 4.3 will begin shipping to major US retailers in September 2012 with an MSRP of $249.99 and will soon follow through Latin America, and parts of Asia.
