Review

The Bluboo S1 is a budget smartphone that is designed to work well in almost all aspects. The built in quality let us know it is not a flagship, but it is a nice phone for those who do not to spend much and still have a good processor, enough RAM to run almost every game in the market, and of course all the social media y applications that you might need to check the weather, read news, chat with friends, and watch videos.
The battery life it is great for this device, if you don’t squeeze it in games. Since it is not meant to be a gamer phone, but the Mediatek Helio P25 makes it possible and its 4Gb Ram can handle any of the new games. But, as I mention it is not quite the idea of the phone.
The security features with It incorporated finger print sensor in the front super easy to work with. In my opinion the finger print sensor it is now the best protection, since the face recognition yet has its flaws, and it’s in it first development stages so in a few month or years it will be improved in a better way. Maybe with the new A.I. chipsets working with the camera sensor will make this feature more secure.
The 2 sims slots are very convenient. It’s a hybrid system, which means you can use it the two slots to allocate 2 sims or 1 sim + 1 microSD. And here we can find the smartphone can handle almost all the fastest microSD cards.
The cameras do its works, 13 Mpx Sony IMX135 Exmor RS at f/2.0. It doesn’t perform very well under low light condition, and of course at outdoors with a bright light or cloudy day will take sharp and vibrant colour pictures.
The second camera in the back is a low resolution but it is meant to take black and white pictures out of the box. It will give a nice touch to your social media, Instagram, Flickr and other picture related apps where you capture and publish as you go. Nevertheless, if you want to have a good B&W picture you probably will use de 13 Mpx and apply some filters or postprocessing the photograph with other application.
In general, the phone works well, the main feature will be the display and the very thin borders at the top and sides of the screen. The 5.5 inches (13.97 cm) display with 401 ppi makes the pictures and video look fantastic, very sharp and clear colours. The second to mention is the processor and the Ram memory of the phone, it will let you use everyday apps very fluently with no lags even when multitasking.
The connectivity is ok, a few bands for each network but, if you live in a country where your phone operators work with them you won’t find any problem.
This is not and issue just for this phone, you should consider the bands in your region and providers every time you look for a phone. It is clear the hi end very pricy phones will have almost all the bands available, but, if you are looking to save your money and invest in a device that will last you some years with probably no issue, then, it is your right pick.
