Bluboo Xtouch X500 review

Over the past few months, we witnessed a flood of Asian budget phablets with impressive specs over, but a number of companies are now shifting their attention to compact 5-inch models. The reason is simple: there are just too many phablets out there and smaller 5-inch models are more popular in western markets.

Bluboo’s Xtouch is one of these quasi-flagship designs. It’s a 5-inch phone based on a MediaTek octa-core processor, backed by 3GB of RAM. It’s also got ample storage in the form of a 32GB eMMC 5.0 unit. As an added differentiator, Bluboo decided to integrate a fingerprint scanner on the home button.
