Short Review
- The BLU Life Max features a simple design with dimensions of 154.5 x 77.1 x 8.7 mm and a weight of 153g, making it comfortable to hold.
- Its 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 267 ppi, suitable for everyday use.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6737 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and 2GB of RAM, which handles basic tasks adequately.
- The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps and a 5 MP front camera for selfies.
- The battery capacity is 3700 mAh, providing decent longevity without fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), the software experience is straightforward but lacks the latest features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is offered in a dark blue color, adding a subtle aesthetic appeal.
- There is no water resistance or premium materials noted in its build.
- Overall, the BLU Life Max is a basic smartphone suitable for users with essential needs.
