The glass front feels fine and is firmly mounted to a thin plastic frame. Materials are on par with other Blu phones, but fall short of similarly-priced handsets from Samsung, LG, Motorola and others. It'll fit in your pants, but you'll always know it's there. The size, thickness, and the weight make it the R1 Plus a brick in your pocket. People with smaller hands may not be comfortable using the R1 Plus. Blu did curve the rear panel where it reaches the side edges and this helps push the phone into your palm a bit. It's more than 6 inches tall, more than 3 inches wide, and a whopping 0.43 inches (10.5mm) thick. The R1 Plus is a big phone, there's no other way to describe it.

The gray of the metal is mismatched when compared to the gray of the plastic, but this seems to be a theme on Blu's phones. Chrome accents run from side-to-side across the top and bottom edges and separate the metal portion of the rear panel from the plastic ends. The rear of the phone is maybe 80% metal and 20% plastic. The glass is curved very slightly along all four edges, which helps the in-hand feel.

The front features 2.5D curved glass, while the rear panel is defined by a gray metal plate, gray plastic end caps, and chrome accents.
Nearly every phone the company has announced in recent months bears a similar (nee, identical) appearance. If you're in the market for an unlocked Android handset with a big screen, the R1 Plus is one of many options. The R1 Plus is a bigger, badder version of the R1 HD thanks to a larger display and higher capacity battery. Blu sells inexpensive, unlocked smartphones directly to consumers, generally via online outlets such as.
