Conclusion

The Blu Life Mark is another addition to the affordable smartphones with fingerprint sensor. It has a solid build and a decent design, but the two appealing feature of this phone are the fingerprint scanner and display according to us. There is a lot of competition in this range and Blu has missed a few tickboxes that could have made this smartphone stand out from the league. With the phones like Coolpad Note 3 Lite already available, it will not be so easy for the Life Mark to mark its place in the market.
