Bottom Line
With no unbearable shortcomings, the BLU Life One X2 has just about everything you can want in an affordable unlocked Android smartphone.
The BLU Life One X2 is a 5.2-inch Android smartphone that was released by American mobile company BLU Products in September, 2016. It has enjoyed overwhelming praise for its great build quality, sizeable form factor, and sharp Full-HD display. Reviewers only spoke of good things when it came to the highly-responsive fingerprint scanner, as well as the picture quality from both the front and rear cameras. The phone also has excellent battery life and to cap it all, fast charging is available through Quick Charge 3.0. On the flip side, the custom UI doesn’t offer the best of Android 6.0 Marshmallow and the Snapdragon 430 is only an average performer in today’s standards. Regardless, the BLU Life One X2 is a very promising new entry into the field of high-quality budget Android smartphones.
