Bluboo S8 Plus Smartphone review - different style to Bluboo S1
With the launch of Samsung S8, iPhone X and Xiaomi MIX2, the "full screen" will have no suspense. Now, Bluboo's comprehensive screen product line has been added to the new army. The new full-screen mobile phone directly under the name of S8 is officially launched recently. Compared with the previous S1, the design style of Bluboo S8 Plus is very different.
Design:
We live in the day and age of full-screen smartphones and I like this trend as phones look beautiful and they can be more compact despite a larger display. The Bluboo S8 Plus as a bigger brother of the regular S8 that I reviewed quite some time ago. It offers great design inspired by the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus.
Contents:
The phone ships with all the usual stuff and some extras include a soft TPU case, a screen protector, and a 3.5mm headset jack adapter.
Display:
It is obvious that the design is the key selling point due to the 6” HD+ resolution display that has 18:9 aspect ratio, just like the Galaxy S8+. The screen is really sharp and bright, a great panel for a budget phone.
In terms of the build, we have a quality metal frame, the buttons are nice but I think that the backplate is made of plastic, not glass. There is a dual-camera setup imitation, meaning that there is only one 16MP sensor as you can take pictures with a bokeh effect even when a secondary sensor is covered. There is a 5MP selfie shooter on the front.
Features:
A few features in a nutshell: a fingerprint scanner is pretty fast and accurate and the notification LED light is quite bright.
However, there is no 3.5mm headset jack, so you would need to use the supplied adapter. The loudspeaker quality is quite bad.
Summary:
In my opinion, Bluboo S8 Plus is a great looking and well-built phone for the price. That full-screen display design is definitely the key selling point. Also, the phone is quite fast and it can handle some of the 3D games but there is some bloatware in the user interface.
