Bluboo made a surprising official entry into the Philippine market early this year with the arrival of its S8 and S1 smartphones. What we're taking a look at here is the Bluboo S8, the company's first local entry into the 18:9 display ratio market. Design and Construction The first thing you’ll notice about the Bluboo S8 is its design. In the hands, the Bluboo S8 is easy to hold thanks to its narrow body and curved front and back panels. Sadly, Bluboo did not include any earphones in the package and users would have to rely on the included USB Type-C to 3.5mm if they wish to plug in their own set as the phone has no built-in audio port. Camera Moving on to photography, the Bluboo S8 is equipped with a dual 13MP + 3MP rear setup and a single 8MP front. OS, UI, Apps, and Storage The device is powered by Android 7.0 Nougat with Bluboo's own personal touch. It is also riddled with Bluboo's own set of system apps, most of which you might not even have a use for, such as 360 security, Freezer, Clone, QuickTouch (much like Apple's AssistiveTouch), Super AppLock, FreeShare, Anti-theft, and Kika Keyboard.
