Design and Display
The Blu Life One X3 smartphone is a good looking smartphone and it shows solid ergonomics. Apart from the good looks, the smartphone is made entirely of metal that is well polished abd engineered. This brings about nice haptics when held and has its camera module blend in with the back panel as opposed to the camera bump seen in other smartphones.
Elsewhere in the display segment, the Blu Life One X3 smartphone packs a full HD panel. Although not certainly the best around, it consumes less power compared to higher resolution displays. The Blu Life One X3 comes with a 5.5-inch 1920 X 1080 pixels display with a pixel density of 401 ppi.
Battery and Camera
There’s a distinction in the battery capacity here to that of most smartphones in its category. This is because the Blu Life One X3 ships with a large 5, 000mAh Li-Po battery. This should go well beyond a day of usage on a full charge. However, charging is still traditional here due to lack of the quick charge feature.
For taking pictures, you have the same pixel configuration on both sides. The rear camera is equipped with a 13MP sensor with flash. Also the front camera has a 13MP sensor with flash which comes in handy for taking selfies in low lit places.
Hardware and Software
Regarding the hardware, Blu has done well to equip the device with an Octa-core MediaTek MT6753 SoC alongside a 2 core Mali-T720 GPU. This is not much but is enough to give a smooth performance on this device.
In addition, the Blu Life One X3 has about 32GB of internal storage and up to 3GB RAM. Although little of this space might have been taken up by the systems software there’s a chance to expand up to 64GB. On the other hand, the Blu Life One X3 smartphone has a stock Android 7.0 Nougat pre-installed.
