We have been hearing a lot about the Bluboo Xfire which reportedly will be the cheapest MT6735 quad-core 64-bit chip powered smartphone in the market. The pricing is expected to be under $70, which is a great price considering the specs that you get.

The company has kept the overall design and features pretty simple for its customers. For example, the Bluboo Xfire doesn’t have any capacitive buttons. Instead, the phone relies on the on-screen buttons of the UI. Despite being a budget device, the phone features screen to body ratio of 77% which is quite good.

Also, the phone comes with dual Silicon mic, which should reduce background noise to a great extent. As for the speakers, it is said that the Xfire will feature box speakers from AAC technologies.

Those who love pure Android looks will like the fact that the company has kept the UI relatively untouched. So, you should get a near stock Android 5.1 experience. Also, under the hood, the phone features a 2700mAh battery, which coupled with the 5-inch display and the efficient MT6735 should deliver more than a day’s battery life. Not bad for a cheap device. Even the rear 8MP OV camera is expected to be good, according to the recent samples.

Overall, it looks like the Bluboo Xfire will be a great phone in the budget segment. We wait to get our hands on the device for a full review once its launched.

Just yesterday we covered an article about the Bluboo XFire which aimed to be the cheapest MT6735 quad-core chip powered smartphone in the world. While the company is yet to announce an official price tag for the phone, you can expect it to retail somewhere around $70 which is an excellent price for the specs that comes with the device.

While we were impressed with the chipset as well as the 2750mAh battery on the device ( at least on paper), today the company has released a few images captured using the phone’s 8MP camera. The rear camera module is made up of an 8MP OV sensor with f/2.0 aperture and 5p lens. The company reportedly invested about 3500 hours of debugging to make sure that the camera software was perfect.

All this sounds good, but is it any good in real life? Well, the company has released a set of pictures that’s directly compared with the iPhone 6. Apple iPhone cameras have always been praised for their stellar rear cameras, and comparing the phone’s images with the iPhone 6 will reveal the true capability of the camera.

From the images, we can see that the Bluboo’s camera performance turned out to be quite good. The images came out clear and sharp, with minimum noise. Of course, its not as good as the iPhone 6, but its still good as compared to competitors.

Of course, these images are directly released by the company. Hence, we would advise you not to get too excited. Many a times, the actual performance of the device turns out to be disappointing, so lets wait for an official review of the phone to see whether it lives up to our expectation.

You can check out the comparison from down below. The one on the left is the iPhone 6 sample and the one of the right is from the Bluboo Xfire.

Now you would be thinking, if the company did somehow incorporate MT6735 quad-core chip on board a $62 smartphone, the rest of the specs must suck. But that’s not the case here. The guys over at BLUBOO has really surprised us by giving the XFire quite impressive specs for its price segment. For display, you get a 5-inch IPS panel, which should come with at least qHD resolution. The company has not revealed the resolution yet, so we are guessing its qHD, but anything above this (720p) would be amazing.
Given that this is an ultra-cheap device, the phone comes with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of expandable storage. That’s pretty acceptable for cheap device. At the back, there is an 8MP OV camera sensor while up front, you can expect to see a 5MP OV sensor.

Another big surprise on the BLUBOO XFire is the battery on board. Usually, this is where manufacturers cut down on a cheap device, but this particular phone comes with a 2750mAh battery, which honestly is impressive. With such specs, the phone should definitely run for a day at least. What’s more, BLUBOO has promised Pure Android 5.1 Lollipop OS on board. Finally, even in the looks department, the BLUBOO Xfire doesn’t disappoint, since it will be available in three different colors, including Obsidian Black, Peal White and Ocean Blue. Other highlighted features include dual Silicon Mic and BOX speaker.
Overall, the BLUBOO XFire is really turning out to be a surprise offering. With a pricetag below $70 and MT6735, the phone will definitely get some love from the budget users. You can expect the phone to launch sometime around late September or early October this year. Stay tuned for more details.
