The touch screen panel responds accurately thereby fulfilling the needs of consistent usage.

Front Camera with Selfie Softlight
Selfie experience is amazing because, with the BLUBOO D1, you can take bokeh-effect selfies using a 5.0MP camera plus a secondary camera for creating depth-of-field effects. The selfie softlight is another important aspect of this device which casts a soft even light across the whole image and gives you bright and glossy complexion.
