BLU Life One XL hands-on

Extra large, that’s clearly the take when we read the “XL” part of the BLU Life One XL. Not surprisingly, it’s a new smartphone announced by BLU during CES 2015, which boasts similar specs to the BLU Life One, but it’s naturally larger in size. In particular, it’s sporting a larger sized 5.5-inch 720 x 1280 display, which also contributes in giving the smartphone a wider feel in the hand – so it’s more of a handful to manage.



Despite that, one thing that instantly jumps out is the availability of a fabric finished model – on top of the usual plastic ones it’s offered in. Needless to say, it’s something that’s different from the other models sold by BLU, as the fabric material has a soft touch to it. Beyond that, everything else about this phone is identical to its smaller sized sibling. Therefore, the BLU Life One XL features a 13-megapixel rear camera with LED flash, 5-megapixel front-facing camera, 64-bit based quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chip, 1 GB of RAM, and stock Android 4.4 KitKat.
