Blu Phones are on SALE at Amazon


Here is the good news for all BLU smartphones fans. BLU phones are back on sale at Amazon. Yes, the imposed time out for BLU smartphones appears to be over. After the retail giant halted sales of its phones earlier this week when spyware allegations resurfaced, BLU announced that sales had resumed.

"After a false alarm, BLU devices are now back up for sale on Amazon," the company tweeted.

Amazon stopped selling BLU phones following the report of a security firm Kryptowire. The company has alleged that some of the devices were collecting user data and sending it back to a server in China.

The allegation seems to be resolved, but Kryptowire said a week ago that third-party software from
Shanghai Adups Technology was still collecting user data.

These allegations have been denied by BLU stating that “standard and basic data collection that pose no security or privacy risk."

With this, several BLU model phones sales resumed at AMAZON. Phones resuming sales on Amazon include the BLU R1 Plus, a $129 phone, which was rated highly as an unlocked budget option.



Amazon confirmed that BLU phones were back on sales. “If we receive information that could potentially impact our customers’ experience, we may temporarily make a product unavailable for purchase," an Amazon spokesperson said.

"Based on communication with the manufacturer, BLU Products, we have resumed selling BLU devices on Amazon.com,” he added.

Still, not every BLU model appears to be back in Amazon's good graces. The BLU R1 HD had been an Amazon Prime Exclusive, but it was dropped this week around the same time Amazon stopped BLU phone sales. The R1 HD is still missing from that list as of this writing.



Amazon issued the following statement, following the removal of BLU phones this past Monday.

The statement of Amazon is “Because security and privacy of our customers are of the utmost importance, all BLU phone models have been made unavailable for purchase on Amazon.com until the issue is resolved.”

On the other hand, BLU fans have expressed their happiness and joy on Twitter for the resumed sales of BLU phones on Amazon. Although, the reason why the phones were pulled in the first place this time around, a representative from Amazon told:

“If we receive information that could potentially impact our customers’ experience, we may temporarily make a product unavailable for purchase. Based on communication with the manufacturer, BLU Products, we have resumed selling BLU devices on Amazon.com.”

It appears that BLU phones from Amazon are still absent from Amazon’s Prime Exclusive lineup of handsets. It is not clear that whether BLU phones will be allowed back into this program.

Meanwhile, BLU company has tweeted:

Hey BLU fans! After a false alarm, BLU devices are now back up for sale on Amazon. https://t.co/XKqFyEiBI0#BLU #BoldLikeUs #Amazon

Google Charged $2.7 Billion Fine for Manipulating Search Results

Google has inspired many lives who dream of being innovative entrepreneurs and rule the world. But, do you imagine that even the internet tech giant can do illegal blunders? Yes! The company has been imposed with a heavy fine of $2.7 billion (€2.42 billion) by the antitrust officials of Europe for such a case. It was claimed that Google had been manipulating its search results since 2008. And in 2010, an investigation was launched against it, after filing of complaints by several rivals. After a full-fledged investigation of seven years, Google was found guilty. The company lost its battle on Tuesday, the 27th June 2017. And, the European Commission has charged it hugely for breaking EU competition law. The most popular search engine has played against the EU completion law by misleading the search-engine results and promoting its own statistics at the top of search results. Therefore, the Commission has penalised the company with an amount calculated based its income fr...
