BLU Energy XL Review

Score: 62.4 / 100

BLU Energy XL is a fascinating Android cellphone, which features a really big 6" screen, a very powerful 1500 megahertz Octa-Core CPU, a 13 megapixels back facing camera and a 5 megapixels front camera.

BLU decided to design this phone using a very powerful Octa-Core processing unit speeding at 1.5 gigahertz, included in the MediaTek MT6753 system chip with a big 3 GB RAM. This phone comes with a 64 GB big internal memory and though it doesn't have a slot for an SD memory card, it it is more than enough to store tons of applications, games, songs, pictures and videos without even thinking about running out of space.

About its design materials, the BLU Energy XL is mostly made of Metal . The BLU Energy XL is very slim and comfortable, with a thickness of just 0.33 inches. This phone is a compact cellphone, given that it has a 6 inches screen and it is just 6.33 inches long. BLU sells this cellphone in gold and gray. BLU appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 7.34 ounces device.

This phone includes a incredible 6-inches display with a 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) resolution, making everything look vivid and colorful.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 13 megapixels back camera and a 5 MP front camera. It is also able to shoot videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 frames per second.

This phone features a 5000 mAh huge non-removable battery, enough to provide this phone with an incredibly long battery duration. An issue to evaluate is that this phone's battery isn't removable so you won't be able to replace it when it starts to have trouble holding its charge, although with so much capacity you will probably buy a new device before that becomes a real problem.

This phone provides Wi-Fi capability (and it can share it with other devices as a mobile hotspot), LTE (4G) fast internet connection and also HSPA+ data connection, that is a slower 4G type and fast 3G internet connection, supported by HSDPA technologies. This phone doesn't use a SIM card, because it is not a GSM enabled cellphone.

The BLU Energy XL also includes lots of cool features as Fingerprint ID, Bluetooth (4.0 ), GPS Localization and FM Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This cellphone is probably the correct option no matter if you will use this phone for gaming, you love taking photos, need a device mostly for internet broswing and social networks or want a work phone.
