BLU Life Play Review
Score: 48.9 / 100
BLU Life Play is a decent quality Android device, including a very powerful 1.2 GHz Quad-Core processor, a 4.7" display, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 2 megapixels front-facing camera. Great! That's it? Not at all, it's only the beginning.
BLU decided to sell this phone with a great 1200 MHz Quad-Core CPU, packed into the Mediatek MT6589 system chip with only 1 GB of RAM which is a little bit poor for such a powerful cellphone. Collaborating with graphic intensive apps and games, the BLU Life Play also uses a 384 MHz PowerVR SGX544 graphics processing unit. The BLU Life Play counts with a 4 GB internal storage, a passable quantity that should be adequate for most users having that this phone also has an external memory card slot .
The BLU Life Play is much lighter than what one would think about a cellphone like this. This phone is just 0.31" thick, making it one of the thinnest cellphones nowadays. This device is quite a compact phone, taking into account that it packs a 4.7" display and it is only 5.39" long. BLU is offering this phone in black color.
This cellphone has a spectacular 1280 x 720 (HD) 4.7" screen, which makes all images and videos look perfect. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.
The BLU Life Play is equipped with two cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 2 mega-pixels front facing camera. The BLU Life Play can also film videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 frames per second. In addition, this cellphone's camera also features a large number of valuable features: auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, HDR mode, smile detection shooting and geo tagging.
This cellphone comes with a medium sized 1800 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that can keep this phone running for some hours, although you will need to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage. BLU reports a talk time of 18 hours and a stand by time of 780 hours for this cellphone.
The BLU Life Play provides HSPA+ (4G) connection type, which is not so fast as LTE-A or LTE networks and 3G fast connectivity, using HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses two SIM cards so it can to use two different phone lines in the same cellphone.
BLU sells this phone for 185 dollars, which is a really high price for this type of device.
