BLU Life One X


The BLU Life One X, much like the rest of the things in its device portfolio, carriers an affordable price point that makes it a great replacement to whatever you’re currently using. And if you really love someone and want to get them a special surprise this holiday season, you won’t go broke buying them this either. From a specs standpoint, it’s pretty indicative of what we expect out of an entry-level smartphone. The specs consist of the following:

  •          5.2-inch 1080 x 1920 IPS Display
  •          64-bit octa-core 1.3 GHz MediaTek 6753 processor
  •          Mali T720 GPU
  •          2 GB RAM
  •          16 GB internal storage
  •          microSD card slot
  •          13-megapixel Phase Data Autofocus main camera
  •          5-megapixel front-camera with LED flash
  •          1080p video recording @30 FPS
  •          Bluetooth 4.0
  •          Wi-fi b/g/n
  •          microUSB 2.0
  •          Android 5.1 Lollipop

For a basic phone, the BLU Life One X can surely get the job done. It’s inexpensive and won’t break the bank, but its value is elevated above most other things because it’s unlocked and features dual-SIM slots out of the box. And even though it’s normally slapped with an MSRP of US$ 149 through BLU, it’s currently being treated to a US$ 50 discount through Amazon, that’s a cool US$ 99 to buy this phone. Don’t spend too much time thinking about getting it or not, just because this discount ends December 12th when the clock strikes midnight EST.
