BLU Vivo 8 Review

Score: 62 / 100

BLU Vivo 8 is a very solid phone released back in 2017, which counts with a Octa-Core processing unit speeding at 2000 MHz, a large 5.5" display, a 13 megapixels back side camera and a 16 MP front-facing camera.

About its construction materials, this phone is built with Metal . The BLU Vivo 8 feels much lighter than what you expect from a cellphone of this size. This phone only has 6.08" long, but it's still able to fit a a 5.5 inches display. This device is just 0.33 inches thick, taking it to the thinnest cellphone's category. This phone is offerred in two colors, black and gold.

This cellphone has a great 5.5 inches screen with a 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) resolution, giving this device a unique graphical experience.

BLU decided to sell this cellphone with a high-tech Octa-Core processing unit speeding at 2 GHz, bundled in the MediaTek Helio P10 MT6755 system chip and a big 4 GB RAM memory. This cellphone has a large 64 GB internal storage memory and an SD card slot, enough to store hundreds of applications without thinking about how much storage is left.

This cellphone provides WiFi connectivity (which can be shared with other devices around, acting as a wireless router or modem). This phone doesn't use a SIM card, because it is not a GSM enabled phone.

This cellphone has two cameras, a 13 MP back side camera and a 16 megapixels front camera. While it's 13 mega-pixels may seem amazing the back side camera sensor size is quite small which makes photos have less details and worse lighting than they should. This cellphone can also film 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 fps.

This phone also features a few cool characteristics such as Fingerprint ID, Bluetooth (4.1 ) and GPS Navigation, and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

This device comes with an inmense 4010 mAh Li - Ion non-removable battery that provides this phone an extremely long battery life. An issue to consider is that this cellphone's battery isn't replaceable so you won't be able to replace it when it starts to live shorter, whereas with such a huge battery size you will probably replace this phone before that happens.

This phone is probably a good choice for you if you want it to play lots of games, will use this device mainly for social networks, love photography or need this phone for work.
