Using a fingerprint scanner

The fingerprint reader on the back panel is pretty fast, it can unlock the phone with ease in less than 0.1 seconds. Speed is more than sufficient for daily use. Meanwhile, the 360-degree fingerprint scanner can store up to 5 different prints and is able to recognize them at any position of the finger. The accuracy of the sensor is pretty decent.

Dual camera on rear panel

On the back side, the BLUBOO D1 is equipped with an 8-megapixel main camera and another 2-megapixel auxiliary. In "normal" mode, the camera takes pictures of higher quality compared to other phones in this price range. The photos are distinguished by good clarity, rich colors and brightness. When shooting in DSLR mode, the main camera captures still objects, and the auxiliary camera acquires information about the depth of the frame, allowing you to take photos with a clear front and blurry background. In addition, a dual LED flash helps in low-light conditions or at night to create bright and clear photos.
