US-based smartphone maker Blu has introduced a new 4G-enabled smartphone in India, the Life Mark, which is now available via an e-commerce website priced at Rs. 8,999. The Blu Life Mark features a fingerprint scanner at the back panel, which is a highlight of the device.

 The company touts that the Life Mark sports a CNC machines-metal build which gives it sturdy look. The Life Mark is a dual-SIM smartphone running Android 5.1 Lollipop.

The smartphone bears 16GB of inbuilt storage, which can be expanded via microSD card (up to 64GB).

The Blu Life Mark includes connectivity features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, Micro-USB with OTG, and A-GPS, apart from 4G LTE. A 2300mAh battery backs the handset, which is available in Slate Gary, White, and Gold colour variants. The Blu Life Mark is currently available via Amazon India.
