BLU is an American smartphone manufacturing company known for making highly affordable smartphones across the mid-range and entry-level sections of the smartphone market. BLU has always delivered smartphones with great value for money and I hope that doesn’t stop soon. BLU has been teasing some new smartphones for a while and it seems the time for an official launch is finally near. BLU has launched the BLU G91 Pro, alongside its more affordable and less premium sibling, the BLU G91.
The BLU G91 Pro comes in as the successor to the previous BLU G90 Pro that was launched around this same time last year. When compared to its predecessor, there have been some weird changes as some aspects of the phone got an upgrade while some aspects also got slightly downgraded.
For example, the G91 Pro comes with a slightly smaller battery but it now has support for much faster charging. The cameras got a downgrade but you get a larger screen. And again, you get a slightly less powerful chipset but now you have about 50% more memory. As expected, you get a newer version of Android.
In this article, I’ll be sharing with you the BLU G91 Pro specs and price so you can find out everything you need to know about the phone. Hopefully, this will help you if you are considering purchasing this phone. Without wasting much of our time, let us get right into today’s article.

Display
Coming to the display, BLU decided to switch things up a bit. The phone will have a larger display with a tiny punch-hole cutout at the top center as opposed to the outdated water drop notch. This helps to improve the overall aesthetic of the display.
The BLU G91 Pro sports a 6.7-inches IPS LCD display that has an FHD resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and 393 pixels per inch density. The display is still sharp, vivid, and crisp so you will enjoy watching movies and playing games except for the tiny cutout at the top which hinders the full view experience.
The display has a 20 by 9 aspect ratio so you get slightly slimmer bezels when compared to its predecessor. As for protection, there’s no branded glass covering the screen so you’ll need to get a tempered glass screen protector.
Design and Body
The design of the BLU G91 Pro got a small refresh as it now looks more clean on the rear and front thanks to minor changes like camera placement.
The phone comes with a multi-material body, the rear panel is made out of glass with a matte finish and the frame is made out of plastic with a glossy finish. The phone is quite thick and bulky as it has a thickness of 8.9 mm and weighs about 201 grams.
On the rear, you’d find the quad camera setup in a tiny square bump at the top left, BLU’s branding with other inscriptions at the bottom left, and a fingerprint sensor at the center.
On the sides, you’d find the power button and volume rockers at the right with an exceptionally useful Google Assistant button at the left. The Google Assistant button can’t be customized so you can use it for other things.
As for color options, the phone is available in two colors: Graphite and Moonshine.
Processor and Memory
Under the hood, the BLU G91 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Helio G90 SoC. The octa-core chipset features 2 Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz and 6 Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz. The chip is paired with the Mali G76 MC4 GPU which is enough to give out decent performance when gaming.
The chipset is made for gaming on budget-friendly devices but it is still a bit of a downgrade from the Helio G90T chipset that the BLU G90 Pro had.
The processor is coupled with 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of internal storage. There is support for micro SD so you can expand the storage once the need arises.
Software
On the software front, the BLU G91 Pro comes running on pure Android 11 OS with no customizations, bloatware, or ads.
Camera
The camera system on the BLU G91 Pro got quite noticable downgrades as it now has an inferior selfie and ultrawide camera. You get a quad rear camera setup and a single front-facing camera.
The quad rear camera system features a 48MP main camera with a Samsung GM1 sensor and f/1.79 aperture, a 5MP ultrawide camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth camera.
The camera can record videos in 4K resolution at 30 frames per second and in 1080p resolution also at 30 frames per second.
The selfie camera is a 16MP sensor with an f/2.0 aperture. It can record in 1080 resolution at 30 frames per second.
In the camera app, there are some nice features like Pro Mode, RAW mode, night mode, and AI mode.
Battery and Charging
On the inside, the BLU G91 Pro is backed by a 5,000 mAh non-removable battery. This also got reduced by about a hundred mAh compared to the predecessor. It still offers a good battery life but when performing heavy tasks it can let you down.
As for charging, you have multiple options as the phone has support for 30W fast wired charging and 10W wireless charging. BLU claims the 30W fast charging can take the phone to 50% in only 20 minutes of charging.
Network and Connectivity
There is support 4G LTE network on the BLU G91 Pro and it has support for the following LTE bands: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17, & 28. There’s also dual-SIM support so you can use multiple SIMs at the same time.
The phone comes with Wi-Fi (a/b/g/n), Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth 4.1 (A2DP LE), GPS, and FM Radio. There is a USB 2.0 Type-C port with OTG support for charging and data transfer.
BLU G91 Pro Price and Availability
At launch, the BLU G91 Pro price is set at $250. The G91 Pro is currently only available in the US with BLU yet to announce if it will be available globally.
