Comparisons Featuring BLU Life Pro
Short Review
- The BLU Life Pro features a sleek design with dimensions of 147 x 72.1 x 6.9 mm and a weight of 158g, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6589T chipset with a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, suitable for basic tasks but may struggle with heavy multitasking.
- The rear camera boasts a 12 MP sensor capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while a 5 MP front camera is available for selfies.
- The 2500 mAh battery provides moderate usage time but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, although it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device has a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer, and a standard headphone jack is included.
- Overall, the BLU Life Pro presents a basic smartphone experience with essential features but limited advanced capabilities.
