Touchscreen

The 5-point capacitive touchscreen is as precise and accurate around the edges and corners as it is towards the center. Inputs with the onscreen keyboard respond swiftly and with no latency issues, which is not common on cheap smartphones. Even very light taps are recognized without any problems whereas we had to tap more aggressively on the screen of the less expensive Bluboo Xfire. Haptic feedback, however, is a bit on the weak side and could have been stronger.

While touchscreen responsiveness is very good, the Home button is much too soft with very little travel and tactile feedback. It feels almost broken on our model and could have benefited from a redesign. Otherwise, its built-in fingerprint sensor is very fast (up to 1 to 2 seconds at most) and works reliably to lock the smartphone.

Meanwhile, the soft-touch Tabs and Back buttons surrounding the hard Home button are lit Blue when active. Bluboo has taken the Samsung approach by having the Back button to the right of the Home button instead of the left.
