The Vivo Air handset unveiled by BLU Products back in early 2015 at CES only featured 3G connectivity, although its product page mentioned "4G 850/900/2100" as one of its highlights. Now, a slightly different Vivo Air smartphone is up for pre-order, but featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and 4G LTE connectivity.

• Operating system: Android 5.0 Lollipop
