Comparisons Featuring BLU Life One M
Short Review
- The BLU Life One M features a plastic build with dimensions of 144 x 74 x 9 mm and weighs 144 grams, making it relatively lightweight and portable.
- It sports a 5.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6589T chipset, a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, and 4GB of RAM, which allows for basic multitasking.

- The battery capacity is 2000 mAh, supporting standard charging without wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is relatively dated compared to newer versions.
