The bqs are mobiles with a great quality / price ratio, and they are also mobiles designed here, in Spain. They have become the best options for those looking for cheap but good quality phones, and that is why the launch of the new bq Aquaris X5 Plus stands out. It is not clear if it is mid-range or high-end. It could be a medium-high range, but we will say that it is a supervitaminated mid-range mobile.
A good mobile
It is a good smartphone and there is no doubt about that. We will not have performance problems with this smartphone. It will not stand out either for any of its technical characteristics in a special way, but rather for preserving that balance between all of them with a price that is not too high. Its processor is the eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 with big.LITTLE technology, which uses four high-performance cores when high-level processes are required, and which uses four low-energy consumption cores to execute all the actions that do not require the execution of high-level processes, thus saving battery. In addition, it will come in different versions, one with 2 GB RAM, available with 16 GB and 32 GB internal memory and another version with 3 GB RAM, available with 32 and 64 GB internal memory. Obviously, four versions with different prices, but in all four cases with the possibility of expanding the memory by means of a microSD card.
Its screen is 5 inches, with a Full HD resolution of 1.920 x 1.080 pixels. And everything is completed with a design in which the frame is metallic, and the thickness of the mobile is only 7,7 millimeters.
A more complete mobile
However, it is a Plus version of the bq Aquaris X5, so it has to be a better mobile, right? It is, actually, because it has some features that not only were not present in the bq Aquaris X5, but were not present in any bq smartphone, such as the fingerprint reader, and the USB Type-C port. .
Its main camera also improves, going to have a 16 megapixel sensor from Sony, with phase detection focus. The front camera is 8 megapixels, also with a Sony sensor.
Its battery is 3.100 mAh, and it comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It is stated that the smartphone has an autonomy of two days, although that cannot be confirmed until we test it ourselves and see if it really reaches two days with normal use, because it is becoming a very common statement for part of manufacturers in recent times.
The bq Aquaris X5 Plus still does not have a definitive launch date, but its price will start at 300 euros in the most basic version, although it is very likely that we will see it somewhat cheaper through the different official distributors of bq.
