The Bluboo Edge sports a borderless display and a light price-tag
Advertorial by Bluboo: the opinions expressed in this story may not reflect the positions of PhoneArena!
The Edge's display is a 5.5-inch panel with a 720 x 1280 pixel resolution, protected by a sheet of scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 4. There is a dual-layer touch panel underneath the glass, which makes sure the phone will detect the faintest tap, and that it can be operated with gloves or even wet hands.
On the inside, a quad-core MediaTek MT6737 hums at 1.3 GHz. The phone has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage, which is expandable via microSD of up to 256 GB. The juicer in the trunk is a 2,600 Li-polymer battery, which Bluboo praises for being thinner and safer than a Li-ion juice box. The phone features a fingerprint scanner, embedded into the physical home button on the front. The operating system is Android 6 Marshmallow with a light re-skin to the UI.
The phone supports 4G LTE over band 1 (2100 MHz), band 3 (1800 MHz), band 7 (2600 MHz), and band 20 (800 MHz). 3G connectivity is available over band 5 (850 MHz) and band 1 (2100 MHz). It can hold two SIM cards and supports dual standby, though, you will have to sacrifice the microSD slot if you wish to go this route.
The Bluboo Edge is currently up with a pre-sale price of $129 until the 24th of November, after which it will be back to its regular price of $139. You can order one in either Black or Gold finishes. Shipments should begin in early to mid-December. Feeling lucky? Bluboo is holding a giveaway raffle where six lucky winners can get an Edge for free!
