The $50 smartphone genre is really taking off this year, and the Bluboo Picasso is set to be the next model taking up the price bracket.
The Picasso features all the usual budget suspects like a 5-inch 1280 x 720 display. and Meiatek MT6580 chipset meaning no LTE support, but there are a few areas where this smartphone out shines the competition.
RAM is 2GB, there is also 16GB internal memory and both the front and rear cameras are 8 mega-pixel.
Bluboo have also paid more attention to the design of their phone too, with a special suspended screen design to help protect the screen, a slim 6mm body and a 3D holographic design on the rear of the phone.
