Short Review

  • The BLU Life Play Mini features a compact design with dimensions of 127 x 64.4 x 9.4 mm and a weight of 106 grams, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
  • Its 4.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
  • Performance is powered by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A7 processor and 4GB of RAM, which provides adequate speed for everyday use, although it may struggle with more demanding applications.

  • The battery capacity is 1400 mAh, which is modest and does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is dated compared to current standards.
