MIAMI, May 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — BLU Products, one of the fastest growing mobile phone manufacturers in the world announced a follow-up to their flagship LIFE PURE series of smartphone devices with the new BLU LIFE PURE XL, becoming one of the most powerful smartphones available in the world today with market leading processing, memory, display and camera technology.

Camera
A great photo requires the perfect combination and balance of resolution and picture quality in terms of pixel size. However it is extremely difficult to increase the resolution and pixel size at the same time. While our competitors increase resolution (mega pixels), they sacrifice the picture quality by reducing the pixel size. Others meanwhile, increase the pixel size (μ microns) but sacrifice resolution. The BLU Life Pure XL includes professional digital camera sensors to achieve the first smartphone camera to strike a perfect balance with 16.0 mega pixels of resolution, while maintaining picture quality with a pixel size of 1.34μ, with an industry leading 1/2.3inch sensor size. In addition, the LIFE PURE XL is coupled with the first autofocus front facing camera, with 8.0 MP resolution plus 1.4 μ pixel size and advanced camera software features to create the world’s best camera experience on a smartphone device

The Life Pure XL is also equipped with the most powerful memory configuration of any smartphone with 3GB DDR3 RAM which makes multi-tasking and advanced gaming seamless plus 32GB internal memory for apps, pictures, videos, and music storage.
