The Spanish company bq has put into play a new terminal that, in reality, is a small variation of one of those it already has on the market. We talk about bq Aquaris M5.5 Essential, a device that offers on the screen the great difference with respect to the model from which it was “born”, the Aquaris M5.5.
Despite the busy times that the company is living, especially in what has to do with its workforce, it seems that the company maintains some muscle to launch a new Android device that offers a 5,5-inch screen but that changes resolution : goes from 1080p to 720p. This has as a direct consequence that the price of the bq Aquaris M5.5 Essential is $239,90, which is twenty less than the cheapest model with a Full HD panel.
The truth is that it remains to be seen if this change, and the aforementioned savings, will have an impact on the market in which the manufacturer operates, since it is very competitive and the truth is that I believe that this model will not have a particularly large impact. I say this because it does not stand out especially in some section at the moment, since it simply looks like a face lift as I have indicated.
The rest of its characteristics
Well, as I have indicated, these remain almost all unflappable, for example that the operating system is Android 5.1 -an update in this section would not have been bad-; that offers compatibility with LTE networks; main chamber of 13 megapixels with aperture f / 20; And, of course, it includes NFC connectivity.
The rest of details of the bq Aquaris M5.5 Essential are those indicated below and clearly position it in the mid-range of product:
- Qualcomm Octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor
- 2 GB of RAM
- Battery 3.620 mAh
- 16 expandable storage
- Supports Dolby Atmos and has radio
The truth is that it is a model consistent and that it offers what an average user may need, but the reduction of the screen resolution in exchange for a saving of 20 euros I do not think that makes this bq Aquaris M5.5 Essential especially attractive compared to the device from which has been created What do you think?
