BQ Aquaris X5 Edition Cyanogen, A Worthy Competitor

Droidever - BQ Aquaris X5 Edition Cyanogen, become a worthy competitor for other smartphones. It would be simplistic and inaccurate to attribute their success to the fact of being a Spanish company. Chauvinism aside, do well its working to grow gradually but at good pace. With the X5 showed that they are capable of moving with metal frame and now with Cyanogen version make it clear that they have no problem in working elbow to elbow with an operator.

At this point, the hardware of the Aquaris X5 Edition Cyanogen not needs no introduction because it is exactly the same as we saw in the normal Edition. Change the operating system but not its profile of wanting to be a reference in the input range with a very complete specification in this category.

Snapdragon 412 is a very subtle evolution in the SoC of Qualcomm, where the only thing that improves is the clock frequency. Processors that already have a time but where the semiconductor manufacturer is them is arranging very well to stretch its lifespan as they prepare a leap forward for their entry models. The 2GB that mounts on your side are good insurance to have a competitive multitasking.

On-screen BQ keeps his bet by IPS LCD panels with Quantum Color +, technology that promises more vibrant colors and stretch the color space to reach tones that if would not be impossible to reach. Marketing aside, is a screen that gives good results and is attractive to our eyes. HD resolution (which does not Full HD) is sufficient in a five-inch size.

Well the couple of cameras, beyond the resolution of sensors, solves this dilemma of input range. Yes, you can have an affordable mobile with a camera that hand carving and this X5 is a good proof of this. Above you'll find better things but in this price range it is difficult.

The 2,900 mAh surprise in quantity and in performance. This figure tends to be most common in more expensive terminals and although BQ continues to insist with lithium polymer (less physical space, more capacity but worse performance), management that does CyanogenOS works and solves the dreaded problem of autonomy.

In the sound section, BQ boasts technology but the reality is that your mono speaker who tries to sound like stereo is far that say they offer. Little that turns up the volume it shows metallic noise from the box. Anything not fix with a few good headphones and the AudioFX application to equalize.

Point by point, the Aquaris X5 has everything that a range of input needed to dispute the throne to the Moto G: competent specifications, small commitments and a security camera. Made presentations, we will get more into matter with each section.
