Short Review

  • The BLU Life View 8.0 features a plastic build with dimensions of 200 x 135.2 x 8.5 mm and weighs 350g, making it relatively portable for an 8-inch tablet.
  • Its IPS LCD display measures 8.0 inches with a resolution of 768 x 1024 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 160 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
  • The rear camera is 3.15 MP, capable of recording video at 720p@30fps, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
  • The 3800 mAh battery offers reasonable longevity, though it does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is dated, lacking many modern features.
  • 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 equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
  • Available in blue and white, the design is simple and functional.
  • Overall, the BLU Life View 8.0 serves basic needs but has limitations in performance and camera capabilities.
