Comparisons Featuring BLU Life Pure Mini
Short Review
- The BLU Life Pure Mini features a compact design with dimensions of 130 x 64.4 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 149 grams, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 4.5-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 326 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6589T chipset, a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, and 1GB of RAM, which supports basic multitasking and app usage.
- The rear camera has an 8 MP sensor capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for casual selfies.
- The 3000 mAh battery provides adequate power for daily use, but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is somewhat dated, lacking the latest features and updates.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in black and white colors, offering a simple aesthetic.

- Overall, the BLU Life Pure Mini is a basic smartphone with essential features for everyday tasks.
