Comparisons Featuring BLU Life View
Short Review
- The BLU Life View features a large 5.7-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 258 ppi.
- Its build dimensions are 161 x 82.5 x 8.9 mm, weighing 220 grams, which gives it a substantial feel in hand.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6589 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, suitable for basic tasks but may struggle with demanding applications.
- The rear camera boasts a 12 MP sensor capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera is adequate for selfies.
- Battery capacity stands at 2600 mAh, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
- The device runs on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), which is outdated compared to current standards.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The phone does not feature stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio output.
