Over the past couple of years, front-facing cameras on
smartphones have started getting more and more attention
as the selfie trend skyrocketed. Customers want to be able
to take better selfies with their smartphones, and with this
being a consumer's market, the manufacturers complied.
Called the "Selfie", the new smartphone from BLU tries to
take advantage of this modern-age trend.
The main attraction of the BLU Selfie is its 13MP front-
facing camera, one that also comes with an LED flash. On
the back, there's another 13MP camera, also paired with an
LED flash. In other words, the BLU Selfie should take photos
of comparable quality independent of which camera you're
using.
The BLU Selfie comes with 4.7-inch display running at a
resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels, plus a layer of Gorilla Glass
3 for protection against scratches and cracks. Under the
hood, the handset comes with specs such as a 1.7 GHz
Octa-Core MediaTek MT6592 processor paired with 2GB of
RAM, 16GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot that
accepts cards of up to 64GB in size, as well as a 2300mAh
battery. On the software side, the BLU Selfie runs Android
4.4 KitKat out of the box, and we wouldn't count on the
handset being updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop, or any other
Android version for that matter.
The BLU Selfie lacks LTE compatibility, and can be used in
the US with AT&T, Cricket Wireless, T-Mobile and
MetroPCS. The smartphone will run fine on AT&T and
Cricket's HSPA+ networks, but T-Mobile and MetroPCS
customers will be able to use the HSPA+ connection only in
cities where the 4G 1900Mhz band is present.
