- Analysis by KJ David
Released as BLU's answer to other 2016 flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the Moto G4 Plus, BLU's Pure XR blusters with a high-tech specs list, though it's not purely about pros, since we also caught some cons along the way.
Starting with its setbacks, the Pure XR only has 64GB of on-board memory and an up-to-64GB memory card support
, whereas many of its rivals, in comparison, boast 128GB maximum internal memories and support 128GB microSD cards. Additionally, it forgoes a 4K video-capture resolution
, though its 16-megapixel 6P-lens camera, which lugs both phase-detection (PDAF) and laser autofocus
, is by no means a pushover.
Aside from its rear camera, the BLU Pure XR's selling points also include a 3D-touch 5.5-inch Full HD Curved Super AMOLED screen with a Gorilla Glass 3 finish
(It would have been a good venue for a QHD definition
, though) as well as a massive 4GB RAM
working hand-in-hand with its equally-high-end 2GHz Helio P10 true-eight-core CPU
. Moreover, it boasts fingerprint-based security
and an LTE Cat 6 adapter that reels in browsing speeds of up to 300Mbps
. Crowning this 3000mAh-powered
Android's upscale array of pros and cons are an 8-megapixel LED-flash selfie camera
, the DTS audio system
, and an aircraft-grade 7000 Series aluminum housing
.
With all that said, we would not be surprised if the Pure XR's semi-premium package sparks the interest of many flagship smartphone buyers.
