BLU Products has launched a high-end smartphone, the Life Pure XL

BLU Products is a Latin American company based in Miami that has placed their mobile phones among the best sellers in many countries from Central and South America. It specializes in mid-range smartphones at affordable prices, but with this device the company takes a step to the high-end devices.

The Life Pure XL is a smartphone with a 5.5-inch screen and full HD resolution (1080 pixels, 401 ppi), manufactured by Japan Display, Inc. (JDI). Besides offering good qualities of brightness, contrast and the typical good performance of the Japanese company, it is mounted on a very thin frame, which gives a front screen proportion of 81%. It is coated with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 with NDR (Native Damage Resitance), which will grant resistance to hits and scratches.

Among the few weak points of this device there is the lack of LTE connectivity and the memory, although still considerable, it is not compatible with microSD cards. However, if these are not a problem for us, the Life Pure XL is a very good device for this price.
