Performance
Under the hood, the BLU Life X8 is powered by a Mediatek MT6592M chipset with an octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and a Mali-450MP4 GPU. This hardware combination, coupled with 1GB of RAM, delivered adequate performance for basic multitasking and general usage. However, it faced challenges with more demanding apps and games. While it originally came with Android 4.4.2 KitKat, the OS was upgradable to Android 5.0 Lollipop, which extended its software longevity at the time.
