Review Bluboo Xfire

Package, Content, Aesthetics:

The package is matte black, with the brand Bluboo (Silver) in relief and Beyond Your Life (Black) polished; the signs on the model and features are on the sticker located on the back of the box.

Box contents: Smartphone, 1 Power Adapter with USB socket Italian 5V 0.7A, 1 USB cable, 1 instruction manual in English, extra screen protection film (1 already applied)

- External dimensions of the smartphone in line with other devices by 5 "; it measures 140.2 x 71 x 9.3 mm for just over 148g of weight.

- Construction of good quality, the use of relatively inexpensive materials, the thin metallic finish on the frame side, adorns the otherwise fairly classic and economic structure.

- On the left side we find keys, and the right side we find the volume rocker on the top and the power button slightly lower.

- At the top we find the audio jack and the micro USB socket; on the underside of the microphone.

- In the back at the top center we are the 5 Mpixel camera Omnivision OV5648 f/2.4 (8 megapixel interpolated) and the LED flash, and the lower the speaker positioned slightly off center (unfortunately with a planar shape of the cover, the audio will be muffled with a minimum device on the table).

- In the front we find the earpiece at the top, the camera GC2145/55 2Mpixel f / 2.8 (5 megapixels interpolated), the LED flash and the light sensor / proximity.

- The keys are soft touch around the screen and include the menu button.

- Cover removable; the absence of special processes and materials used give the slipperiness and heightened susceptibility to retain fingerprints.

- Outer pane with pre-applied film from the house; It is provided a further film in the package.

- Display brightness average, good viewing angle; QHD 960x540 pixels IPS LCD screen with colors and sharpness well played good for the category.

- Touch sensitive enough, but with multitouch 2 touches, writing is quite fast with Swype function that you type with two fingers (keyboard used google)

- Two sim slots: A Mini SIM and a Micro Sim 4G (with dynamic selection software).

- Presence slot MicroSD up to 64Gb (32Gb tested).

- Removable battery from 2750mAh declared, to the test with amperomento. We found about 2200mAh; however, thanks to the screen shortly resolved and the energy-hungry little cpu, we managed to do a very good score Geekbench:

- Android 5.1 with customization in icons and launcher 3.

- Open the app and switch between apps quickly enough .. stock browser with a few bumps as always (we recommend Chrome)

- Launcher obsolete functions for speed and customization (as council Nova Launcher launcher).

- Management of good 8Gb of internal ROM that are available in a partition to 4.5GB for apps and data.

- Good management 1Gb ram by Android 5.1 .. more than 500Mb of ram vacated after loading some apps into memory at startup.

Connectivity:

WiFi b / g with no problem hooking stable, good power.

BT 4 tested pairing with headsets and car, no problems

OTG: NOT Working

GPS: pretty poor, with cloudy sky outside has also fixed in 30 seconds only 3 satellites, with an accuracy of 10 meters .. I intend to test it better.

Camera:

- Main camera 5 megapixel Omnivision f / 2.4 (8Mpixel interpolated) that produces the shots just enough daylight; good focus but low power flash and yellow.

Camera Interface stock Mediatek; when using the flash or light conditions not favorable and the quality of the shots drops dramatically and the focus is not always correct.

- Poor performance video, slow focus and suffers from shuttering (full resolution HD video and 3GP).

- Secondary camera for Selfie 2Mpixel fixed focus with mediocre quality.

Back camera:

Front camera:

Bench:

Antutu 5.7.1 over 19000 punti..risultato in line with that of other cpu quad core MT6735P 1Ghz.

Geekbench 3 with 1355 points in multi-core test and 482 in the single-core test.

Geekbench Battery Test (over 9h and 56 'screen on time, I would say very good for a real 2200mAh and about the CPU and also qHD screen!).

Audio:

Good sound quality, slightly lower volumes of speaker and earpiece (a classic for mediatek).

Position of the speaker rear which happens to be unhappy if you usually place the device on the table and then playing Expect a loss of volume.

Good vibration and sound with headphones pretty good.

Conclusion:

PRO:

- Screen that despite having a resolution not excellent, showing good brightness, color and viewing angle of the display

- Good assembly and solid feel that the smartphone.

- Price about 70 € (during the tenders on Wednesday at 12:00 you will find it even less than $ 50 if you're lucky) http://bluboo.com.cn/#shop

- 2G, 3G and 4G (on 4G bands 1,3,7,20, then there is also the band 20 to 800Mhz essential especially with the operator wind/Italy)

- Dual SIM (+ Mini Micro sim) and MicroSD card support (declared support up to 32Gb, tested and working with 64Gb Samsung)

- Android 5.1 practically stock of September 10, 2015

- Possibility of installing the root kingroot APK: https://sites.google.com/site/androidxdacom/file/Kingroot_V4.5.0.902.apk?attredirects=0

- Battery not being from 2750mAh as stated, due to the hardware low-level will take at the end of the day so easy

- Gestures screen off and double tap to wake

AGAINST:

- "Only" 8Gb 1Gb ram and rom of which approximately 4.5GB available (if we think of the 50 € to take it in the promo, this detail takes second place)

- GPS to be fixed probably by software

- Cameras are far from the expectations, below average in good light, poor in low light.. flash power is very poor and light is yellow

- Touch 2 touches; no good for fast writing people

- The cover retains fingerprints and is slippery

- No No Compass and Gyroscope

- No support OTG

- No LED notification

- The keys to the screen though excellent, steal valuable space on the desktop and the keyboard while typing

- No cover or film since it is a brand new product
