Bluefox NX1: Ultra-compact 4-inch smartphone with Android 15 and 3,000 mAh battery now available globally
Plenty of people, including myself, would gladly trade the luxury of an expansive 6+ inch display for the compactness of a sub-5-inch smartphone. Apple was once aware of people like us, serving this undeniably niche market with the 4.0 and 4.7-inch iPhone SE, and iPhone SE 2/3 respectively. Bluefox NX1 aims to revive this segment, with its shockingly affordable price and relatively capable hardware.
Boasting a 4-inch display, the Bluefox NX1 is substantially more compact than any other smartphone on the market, featuring dimensions of just 100 x 49 mm. At 12.5 mm thick, the NX1 does appear somewhat chunky, compounded by its compact footprint. However, this thickness allows the tiny smartphone to house a 3,000 mAh battery, resulting in a claimed 9 hours of music playback or 5 hours of navigation.
The 4-inch 60 Hz LCD display with a peak brightness of 500 nits packs a resolution of 1168 x 540, allowing for an impressive pixel density of 321 PPI. A MediaTek Helio G81 SoC powers the device, paired with 4 or 8 GB of memory and 64 or 128 GB of storage. Considering the impressively affordable nature of the smartphone, the features on offer are decent enough.
At the rear, a 48 MP single-camera is present, while a 5 MP front shooter sits inside an iPhone-inspired Dynamic Island at the top of the display. Android 15 powers the software side of things, which Bluefox claims is devoid of any bloatware.
Priced at just above $100, the entry-level Bluefox NX1 smartphone can now be ordered globally. The higher-tier variant with twice the memory and storage costs roughly $20 more, and the product is likely to start shipping sometime in August.
