Comment

Model: The BQ Aquaris X2 Pro is one of the first smartphones in the world to include Google Lens. Compared to its predecessor, the Aquaris X Pro, the display's aspect ratio has been changed from 16:9 to 2:1. The resolution has therefore improved slightly to 2.160 x 1.080 pixels. The BQ Aquaris X2 Pro is made of Corning Gorilla Glass and aluminum. This is also one of the biggest differences compared to the smaller X2, whose back is made of plastic. The new display design makes the case appear slightly stretched out and it is also a little thicker than the predecessor was. The BQ smartphone is protected against dust and water drops according to the IP52 standard, so it is not completely waterproof. The card slot is made of plastic, but the cover is aluminum so there is no difference in color on the frame. The tray can contain either two nano-SIM cards or one nano-SIM and one microSD card. For hardware specifications, it features a Snapdragon 660 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. The BQ phone runs smoothly and quickly in everyday use and easily handles multitasking. The stronger processor of the X2 Pro also makes for good browsing. The Snapdragon 660 and the Adreno 512 work together well and can handle everything mobile gaming currently has to offer. It means the X2 Pro will display every title from the Play store smoothly and at high details.

The front camera of the BQ Aquaris X2 Pro continues to have a resolution of 8 MP (F/2.0, 1,12 μm pixels, fixed focus) but has been given an additional lens. The X2 Pro now has a dual camera system, which the normal X2 is also equipped with. In general, the dual camera does quite well and takes really good shots in daylight. Videos can be recorded at Full HD (30 fps max.), but are not stabilized. It is possible to stabilize the video afterward. The BQ phone has a capacitive touchscreen that can recognize up to 10 touches simultaneously. Fingers glide easily over the Corning Gorilla Glass surface and the oil-resistant coating makes the screen easy to clean. Double tapping the display wakes the phone from standby or turns off the screen. The LTPS display of the BQ Aquaris X2 Pro has a 2:1 format and a diagonal of 5.65 inch. It has a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels and reaches a pixel density of 427 PPI, which makes content appear very crisp. For wireless connectivity, the phones supports 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC. Other connectivity options include fingerprint sensors, headphone jacks, microSD card readers, and USB Type-C ports. The X2 also ships with Android 8.1 software, although they should also be among the first phones in line for an Android P update when Google releases the next version of its mobile operating system later this year.

SD 660: Fast mid-range ARM SoC with 8 CPU Kryo 260 cores (four fast 2.2 GHz cores in a cluster and two power saving 1.8 GHz cores) and a rather slow Adreno 512 GPU. Manufactured in a 14 nm process.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

5.65":

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

BQ:

BQ is a Spanish company of the Mundo Reader S.L Group, which develops smartphones, tablets, 3D printers and robots.

The market shares are low and mainly concentrate on Europe. The number of reviews is quite low and the achieved ratings are average (as of 2016).

A Russian company with the same name sells smartphones. This BQ is independant from the Spanish brand.

80.95%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
