BLU Life 8 XL Review
Score: 51.6 / 100BLU Life 8 XL is a fair quality cellphone launched many years ago, which counts with a high performance Octa-Core CPU ticking at 1400 MHz, a big size 5.5-inches screen, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front camera. We will get a better idea about this cellphone's wonders when we get into more details.
This cellphone is slim and good-looking, being just 0.3" thick. This cellphone is a compact cellphone, taking into account that it packs a 5.5" screen and it's only 6.1 inches long. This cellphone is available just in 16 777 216 color. BLU has made a very good job making this phone weight only 5.15 ounces.
BLU packed the BLU Life 8 XL with a very good 5.5 inches screen, and a resolution of 720 x 1280 (HD), making everything look very nice.
BLU decided to build this cellphone with a high performance 1400 megahertz Octa-Core processing unit, bundled in a MediaTek MT6592M chip with only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a little bit low comparing with the BLU Life 8 XL's awesome processor. A nice aspect of this cellphone is its quite big 8 GB internal storage and an SD memory slot, enough to install a couple hundred games and apps without worrying about space.
This phone is equipped with two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 2 MP front facing camera. This phone also shoots videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 fps. The camera also features time lapse video.
This cellphone packs a 2920 mAh incredible battery that can keep this cellphone running for several hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it at all.
This phone features Wi-Fi connectivity (and it can provide it to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), 4G HSPA+ internet connection, which is not as fast as LTE-A or LTE networks and 3G fast connectivity, using HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This phone doesn't use a SIM card, because it doesn't work with GSM networks.
This device also includes a handful of useful features like Bluetooth (allows communication with other cellphones and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
BLU is selling this cellphone for $ 129, which is not a good offer for this type of cellphone.
