BLU Life XL Review

Score: 53.8 / 100

BLU Life XL is a decent cellphone, counting with a huge 5.5 inches screen, a Quad-Core processing unit running at 1.2 GHz, and two cameras, a 13 MP back side camera and a 5 megapixels front camera. That's everything we have to say? No, it's only the introduction of a detailed review.

This phone is available only in 16 777 216 color. This device feels much lighter than what one would think about a cellphone of this size. The BLU Life XL is a very compact phone, given that it presents a 5.5" screen and it's just 6.09 inches long and 3.13 inches wide. This device is just 0.35 inches thick, making its way into the thinnest phones podium.

BLU ships this cellphone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 8916 system chip, which holds a powerful Quad-Core CPU ticking at 1200 megahertz with a large 2 GB of RAM memory. A good advantage of this cellphone is its big 16 GB internal storage memory and an SD extension slot, enough to store a couple hundred games and applications without worrying about space.

This phone has two cameras, a 13 megapixels back-facing camera and a 5 MP front side camera. It is capable of capturing 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 fps.

BLU packed the BLU Life XL with a nice 5.5" display, and a 720 x 1280 (HD) resolution, making everything look very good.

This phone has a big capacity 2820 mAh non-replaceable battery that can keep this cellphone running for several hours and even reach the end of the day without having to charge it at all. An issue to take into account is that this cellphone's battery is not removable so you can't buy a new battery when it starts to have trouble holding its charge, though with so much capacity you will probably buy a new phone before that happens.

This cellphone offers WiFi connectivity (which can be provided to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and 4G (LTE) high performance internet connection. This device doesn't use a sim card, because it doesn't work with GSM services.

This phone also features a couple of nice features like Bluetooth (provides communication with other bluetooth devices and accessories) and GPS Geolocation, and a few sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

The BLU Life XL is the right one for you if you want a cellphone to mostly use social networks and internet browsing.
