Packaging and appearance

Box Bluboo D5 Pro made of dense blue cardboard. On its cover of the name of the company and the name of the smartphone model, and on the side there is a sticker with a barcode. main technical characteristics listed on the back side of the box.

Inside we found a very smart and a full set of accessories: charger, connecting cable, silicone case, protective film for the screen and a special ring-holder, which is glued to the rear cover.

Smartphone Bluboo D5 Pro is available in three colors: black, red and blue. For our office got red device. It looks, to put it mildly, unusual. The bright color of the back cover with gold metal frame is associated either with the gypsies, or with luxurious chambers Eastern khans. Nevertheless, we think that some customers it is this color scheme will like.

After removal of the box primarily conspicuous solid weight and thickness of the smartphone. It is now rare phone of this size, unless, of course, we are not talking about devices with increased autonomy. It is obvious that in the pursuit of budgetary manufacturer had to make a number of compromises, which affected the design of the device.

Bluboo D5 Pro screen has an aspect ratio of 18: 9. Since it is surrounded on three sides outside about 3 mm thick, while the size of the bottom portion reaches almost 15 mm. It is here that fit the front cameraAs with most smartphones with a frameless screen.

The power button and volume rocker are located on the left side, which, in our opinion, is not very convenient. However, by this arrangement of controls quickly get used to.

On the back of the eye is placed in the main camera, LED flash and a fingerprint scanner. He, incidentally, works surprisingly well: recognition of interest and the rate of release are not inferior to much more expensive gadgets.

Bluboo D5 Pro equipped full headphone jack, which is placed on the upper face of the device. This circumstance will please those who does not want to part with their favorite wired headphones.

Overall impression of the design and assembly Bluboo D5 Pro we have left ambiguous. On the one hand, all who are pretty fed up with faceless indistinguishable body most smartphones. On the other, the combination of the gold side face with a blue or red body like not everyone. Therefore, if you are not a fan of bold decisions, then pay attention to the black model of the smartphone.

Display and Audio

Bluboo D5 Pro screen has a diagonal of 5.5 inches and a resolution of 640 × 1280 pixels. This is not the best of today's figures, but let's not forget that this is a budget device. All the more so if you do not set a goal of a special search of flaws, the picture on the screen does not cause rejection.

Brightness is adjustable over a wide range, allowing you to use the device as a low-light conditions as well as outdoors in bright sunny light. However, there is no automatic adjustment of the backlight of the screen.

MiraVision there are options for lovers of individual settings. They can be used to adjust the contrast of detail, color balance, and saturation.

The sound of the external Bluboo D5 Pro speaker loud enough and contrary to not miss an incoming call or message messenger. However, listen to music with it, we do not recommend. The sound quality when using headphones is much better, but still very far from ideal.

Performance

During normal use of the smart phone quite quickly respond to user actions. Applications are launched without delay, switching between windows is smooth. Therefore, we hope that Bluboo D5 Pro synthetic tests also show good results. However, our expectations are not completely fulfilled.

The popular benchmark AnTuTu smartphone scored only 36 309 points, which corresponds to parameters of the average person two years ago devices. In other tests, the results are no better.

This means that Bluboo D5 Pro is suitable only for the most simple tasks: call, communication messengers, viewing photos and listening to music. When playing high-definition video has difficulty may arise. About demanding to iron mobile games and can not speak, though unpretentious puzzles and puzzles to entertain yourself all you can.

autonomy

Bluboo D5 Pro in this test lasted 6 hours 43 minutes. This result suggests that with moderate usage mode smartphone will run from morning to evening. If you're a couple of hours will take in head to play mobile games or watch a few episodes of the series favorite, then charging may be needed in the second half of the day.

Camera

The main camera Bluboo D5 Pro has a resolution of 8 megapixels with interpolation up to 13 megapixels. This time, the manufacturer did not install an additional sensor, which is in the lower price range devices is most often feykovye. Plus, for your honesty.

The camera software is extremely simple, something like we saw in Android Ice Cream. Still shots seemed to us unexpectedly good for this class of machine. Especially if you'll use when shooting HDR mode.

As you can see for yourself when Bluboo D5 Pro good daylight can please its owner with quality photos with good detail and proper exposure. We especially liked the selection of the correct color balance, so images look natural and naturally.

But with a basic phone tasks Bluboo D5 Pro does well. link maintain a steady, surf and chat in messengers carried out without any problems, work software does not raise any problems.
