BLU Life Play S Review

(L150L)     See other variants reviews Score: 52.3 / 100

BLU Life Play S is a mid-end phone, having a high performance Quad-Core CPU ticking at 1.3 gigahertz, a medium sized 4.7-inches screen, an 8 MP back-facing camera and a 5 megapixels front side camera. We will get a better idea about this cellphone's pros when we get into deeper details.

This phone is powered by a Mediatek MT6582 chip, backed up by a very fast 1.3 gigahertz Quad-Core CPU with only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a little poor comparing with the BLU Life Play S's great processing power. To collaborate with graphic rendering, this cellphone also uses a 500 MHz ARM Mali-400 GPU. This phone has a moderate 4 GB internal storage memory, which is adequate for most users knowing that it also has an SD memory card expansion slot to store songs, pictures and videos.

This phone feels much lighter than what one would expect from a phone this size. This phone is offerred in 2 different colors, blue and white. This cellphone is thin and stilized, with a thickness of just 0.31 inches. Even though the BLU Life Play S is just 5.41 inches long and 2.66 inches wide, it manages to pack a 4.7 inches screen.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back camera and a 5 MP front-facing camera. This phone can also capture videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps. This phone also features a high number of valuable characteristics like auto-focus, flash, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, smile detection shooting, HDR mode and geo tagging.

The BLU Life Play S is equipped with an awesome 4.7-inches screen with a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, giving this cellphone a very detailed graphical experience. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

This cellphone comes with a 1800 mAh medium capacity Li-Ion non-removable battery that provides this cellphone a quite short battery life. This phone has an estimated 780 hours stand by time and a 18 hours talk time according to BLU. A key issue to take into account is that this cellphone's battery is non-replaceable so you can't change it when it begins to lose its charge, having to buy a new phone to "solve it".

The BLU Life Play S has wi-fi connection (and it can share it with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), HSPA+ 4G connection type, that is not as fast as LTE or LTE-A 4G networks and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The BLU Life Play S has dual sim cards so it's able to use 2 different carriers or phone numbers at the same time.

This phone also features a few useful characteristics such as Bluetooth (4.0), GPS Localization and Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This cellphone is really overvalued considering it is sold for $ 249, while many similar phones are offerred way cheaper than that.
