BQ Aquaris X5

 

In only a few years, phones in the budget end of the market have gone from being cheap-feeling units to those with performance capable of matching some of the most sought-after handsets around. Originally spearheaded by Motorola's Moto G, recently...

BQ Aquaris X5 review

 

A great budget phone, if you don't need a great camera

Excellent battery life ; Nice build ; Good value ; Solid performance ; Highly customisable CyanogenMod software

Sub-par camera software/processing ; Screen a little oversaturated ; Entry-level CPU ; So-so speaker ; Non-Gorilla Glass screen protection

You may not know the name, but this is one of the best affordable mid-range phones around, largely thanks to its very nice design and great battery life. A very accomplished effort.

BQ Aquaris X5 Smartphone Review

 

BQ's Aquaris X5 features a sleek metal design but are the photos it captures as impressive as its design?

Pleasing image quality ; Simple to use ; Decent screen ; Long battery life ; Great Photo Editor ; Slow Motion Capture ; Front "Selfie" LED flash

Can struggle with scenes with a high dynamic range ; Video and slow motion captures are soft ; Purple fringing is present on some shots

Worst purchase possible

 

First of all, it takes like 3-5 minutes to start when you turn it on every time (sometimes it doesn't even turn on the first time you try and have to keep trying). Second huge problem: it gets stucked/freezed ALL THE TIME and the biggest issue is that...

A good solid phone

 

It is so good to see a Cyanogen phone that's easily available. A phone without all the nonsense manufacturers often put on.
