REVIEW

Review of Bluboo Maya.

Design.

BluBoo Maya is really slim for 5.5' smart-phone. Nice ultra slim aluminium frame gives it elegant look.

On the right side there are 3 buttons. Power , Volume, Receiver.

Top 3.5 inch audio jack slot.

Bottom microphone and 2 loudspeakers of high quality.

Back cover is made of nice quality plastic with diamonds structure which gives a metal look.

This is a gorgeous phone, and it has a gorgeous display to match. At 5.5inches across, it has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels , and Gorilla Glass 3. Display has natural, vivid and designer-like cool colours.

Back cover fit tight also due to IP64 demands.

IP64 means protected from water spray from any direction. Protected from total dust ingress

Cameras

We have learned that more megapixels in a smartphone camera don't always guarantee better photos. With a interpolated 13MP Sony sensor - Bluboo Maya can make pleasant not oversaturated pictures, with a slight tendency to red. White balance should be improved.

* New ROM removed the problem.

Front interpolated 8 MP camera good enough to make a selfie that can be edited in Beauty camera app.

Media Playing

BluBoo Maya has exceeding quality of loudspeakers surpassing many phones in PRO version.

Music MP3 files and other formats files is pleasant to the ear. Sound is much clearer and music and voice is stronger than in usual phone.

Display has natural and vivid colours. Overall feeling is realistic and immaculate cold.

Playing media files avi, mkv, mp4 formats is smooth and pleasant to watch.

Internal Specs & Usage

MTK6580A chipset,64bit quad-core 1.3GHz and 2 GB RAM gives the phone snappy feeling. Aps are opened instantly.

It is a clear advantage of Bluboo Maya with 2GB RAM above other 1 GB phones currently being on the market.

Smart-phone stays pretty cool even under stress.

Networking

3G, Wifi, Bluetooth.

Call quality is very good, voice from the speakers at the bottom of the Bluboo Maya and microphone sound natural and clear. Signal Reception is also very good, I did not experience drop calls, in fact, the antenna was rather great, It manages to get signals when other phones couldn’t. 3G signal is stable and strong in comparison to other models in PLUS 100USD range.

GPS is actually not very fast. nor it is very precise.

Summary

If you are looking for better battery life and Android 6 than Bluboo Maya is the must have. 2Gb RAM 16Gb ROM gives efficiency in opening the aps and enough disk space to store your multimedia. SD card up to 32GB is possible to install although not necessary.
