- Analysis by KJ David
Still geared towards a budget-cautious clientele, this 2019 sequel to the March 2018 Vivo One Plus offers a bunch of entry-level pros and cons, while bringing to mind some full-fledged flagship phablets with its wide 6.2-inch 19:9 facade 
, although it is marred by a modest 1520 x 720 resolution 
and a 271ppi-only pixel density score .
The BLU Vivo One Plus 2019's weaknesses also include its disappointing drop from the older model's 4000mAh power cap to only 3000mAh . To make up for this con, BLU arms this 2019 edition with a dedicated extreme power-saving button , which instantly turns off non-essentials functions to maximize the phone's up-time on low power levels.
Another key difference between this 2019 version and its 2018 predecessor is that it now comes with a dual-lens camera setup (The 2018 model touts a single 13-megapixel main cam) that calls up this Phonerated list of high-class photography smartphones. Its dual camera, which happens to be its biggest pro, consists of a 13-megapixel primary lens and a 2-megapixel subsidy lens for depth analysis. Regrettably, however, it downgrades the original Vivo One Plus's 13-megapixel selfie cam to an 8-megapixel-only shooter , although it does squeeze a front-firing LED flash into its list of specs.
As we anticipated from a low-budget Android, the Vivo One Plus 2019's hardware pros and cons include a mundane quad-core-only 1.5GHz MediaTek 6739 processor that barely posed a threat to the engines used by the best octa-core phones available as of this on-paper review. Its CPU is aided by an equally-basic IMG Power VR GE8100 graphics processor and no more than 2GB of RAM . Moreover, it only comes with 16GB of native memory that's accompanied by an unimpressive up-to-64GB memory expansion support.
With a standard fingerprint reader and two SIM card slots rounding out its feature set, it's obvious that the Vivo One Plus 2019 caters to entry-level smartphone shoppers eying a cheap large-screen model.
On-paper Review rating: 
The Vivo One Plus 2019 can record HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) clips. Awesome! But we couldn't confirm whether it had an HDMI port or not. HDMI, which lets you connect to an HDTV, is not essential, but would be great on an HD phone.

The screen is big, making it a phablet: 6.2 inches and a resolution of 1520 x 720 pixels means about 14.84 square inches and an image sharpness of at least 271 dots per inch (DPI)!

The BLU Vivo One Plus 2019 doesn't come with an included memory card but it supports up to 64GB of memory expansion, which is convenient to store photos shot with the included 13-megapixel (combined with a 2-megapixel sub-cam) camera.
Superior image resolution - 13-megapixel (combined with a 2-megapixel sub-cam)
The selfie camera resolution seems just about average.
