Short Review
- The BLU Life Play S features a compact design with dimensions of 137.5 x 67.5 x 7.8 mm and a lightweight build at 109 grams.
- It has a 4.7-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 312 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6582 chipset, a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, and 4GB of RAM, which allows for basic multitasking.
- The camera system includes an 8 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps and a 5 MP front-facing camera for selfies.
- The battery capacity is 1800 mAh, which may require frequent charging due to its limited size.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is relatively outdated.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The device comes in blue and white color options.
- There is no water resistance or advanced features like OIS in the camera.
- Overall, the BLU Life Play S is a basic smartphone suitable for essential tasks.
